Hi,harsahil said:writing.
i got 9 bands in reading, 8.5 bands in listening and 7.5 bands in speaking.
However I only got 6.5 bands in writing despite the fact that it was a section on which I spent most of my time for preparing the IELTS exam
For reading, read the text carefully and try to understand its meaning and make an overall synopsis in ur mind i.e. a general idea of the passage. time is v.imp in reading. the questions r mostly in order the information appears in the passage. for reading u need good observation skills to find the answer quickly. this will come with practice and reading text books. in my profession i.e. Medicine we have to study huge text books so it helped me in reading and that's why i got 9/9 bands in reading.sun22 said:Hi,
Let me know how did you get 9 band. Please reply. I got only 6 band so far.
thanks
I thought listening would be the most difficult and was most alert and scored a 8.5, was absolutely sure of reading, did it quicker than the scheduled time, (took a bathroom break during the test), expected a full score, but was shocked to see just 6.5 Was good enough to get me the 16 points, so didn't bother to appeal.Mike0810 said:Hi guys,
I just wanted to know which part of the IELTS test was the most difficult part to you.
Please share your experience.
Thank you.

5 is the answer if the question begins with The percentage....For example: The percentage of unemployment in 2009 was 20...(not 20%)winnycanada said:Hello friends who have taken the IELTS or who have official information on the following:
when the question asks us the percentage of ...
should we write the answers with for example 5 or 5% ?
either will be correct or what?
thanks!!!
i took IELTS twice already and got band 7 on both, was aiming for a perfect band of 9.... anyways, on my speaking part the topic given to me was to say something about "beaches" and the other is "park w/n a city", weird hey!BeautifulSoul said:hey all..
I will be appearing on nov 20th for academic.
and i find speaking da most difficult. as far as writing is concerned, dats nt an issue for me as i hv been writing for my uni and magazines. reading is fine too and same goes with listening.. bt prob occurs whn comes to speaking part.
the connection between brain and tongue lost.. it seems as i have enuff to sayy bt cant actually say it on time..if i manage, i use too many "and" and there is no cohesion in my speech..
can anyone suggest me something pls or any speaking topic or something?? i just read someone said that he got vegetables topic to speak..its unbelievable!!
Nothing is weird about that question in IELTS...all questions there are everyday/day to day things people do or did in the past and your opinion of things around you. They want to test how you will handle the explaination not only the content of your answer. how you will build and express the sentences and paragraphs in simple, cohesive and coherent way.Esther2010 said:i took IELTS twice already and got band 7 on both, was aiming for a perfect band of 9.... anyways, on my speaking part the topic given to me was to say something about "beaches" and the other is "park w/n a city", weird hey!
Hi,I got 8 overall, Listening 8.5, Reading 8.0, Speaking 7.5, Writing 7.5.
I don't say Writing is difficult but you need to practice hard because there is a specific time limit and u need to address the question correctly while fulfilling the minimum no. of words.
