Is there an ideal month/period in 2018 to give the IELTS exam? Experienced people.. share ur views

There is no ideal time in terms of difficulty brother, it remains the same

The ideal time is the only one when you are prepared for the challenge.

From my personal experience,
I appeared on 9th September and I got
L 6 R 5.5 W 5.5 S 6
Overall 6

Then I decided to take test again and I appeared in 2nd December and I got
L 7 R 6 W 6 S 7
Overall 6.5

There is no difference between IDP and British Council, it's a rumor, some says IDP is easy and some says British Council is easy, but trust me, if you are well prepared, you will achieve your desired score.

Practice smartly

All the best

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. I am preparing for the exam using Cambridge official guide to IELTS. But I think the listening section is not that tough compared to the free practice book given by British council. Can you tell me what books and resources to use to achieve an 8+ band score?

Try the hardest tests available on YouTube, it helped me a lot. There are numbers of practice tests available on YouTube.

For the 8+ in listening, you have to concentrate from the first section. If you miss one question, you will face problem for the next two. Improve vocabulary, and try solving multiple choice questions as much as you can. Vocabulary will help you to get your desired score.

All the best
