Thank you. Actually my scores are not impressive considering that I am an almost native English speaker who grew up and got all my education in the US. But the IELTS is no joke. Even native speakers need to prepare. I took a few practice exams, familiarized myself with the format of the exam, and read some tips on speaking and writing. My main tips for speaking are to elaborate on your answers and use a wide range of vocabulary, as opposed to giving short answers and using only simple vocabulary. Feel free to stretch the truth and make up stories, as you are being tested on your language skills, not testifying under oath at a trial. For writing, use the standard essay format that is taught in schools in English speaking countries. Take a stand and have a few arguments and examples to back up your claims. Try to write as neatly as possible. Unfortunately my handwriting is terrible, and I'm sure I lost some points for that.

Best wishes to you as well. Your expected score is good and will likely result in an ITA in the next draw after you have your ECA and IELTS scores and create your EE profile.
