i took my IELTS on the 12th may for the second time, i need to get minimum 8 in all 4 sections to boost my points up to 20.
first time i had 9, 9, 7.5, 8
this time 8.5, 8, 8, 7.5
now i have decided to take the human element out of the equation and will go for the PTE academic, but in the meantime i will put in an EOI for 190.
it is not really hard but you have to be focused throughout the test and keep to their format. the speaking part is just an examiner asking you a variety of questions. there is no right or wrong answer in this section.
