Hi, it's my opinion that obtaining a +8 score in writing is impossible, I took 2 IELT's test and scored 9's for R, L, S and 7.5W on both occasions. My advice would be to book onto a PTE test, pay the £50 or whatever it is to have access to their mock tests and example questions, I found the mock tests (with scoring) very useful. Now within the PTE test each communication skill (speaking, listening, writing, reading) has sub tests, for example repeat the sentence, re-order paragraphs, re tell the lecture etc.... There is a brilliant organisation called “e2 Learning” that have videos on you tube that explain how to tackle and answer each individual component. I watched the video for each component just once, did one mock test and got an overall score of 88. I found the test significantly easier, fairer and wasted a lot less time awaiting results. Good luck!
