Lou Gates Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Has anyone recently taken the IELTS exam. Any tips on the writing section please what topics were asked on task 2? Do they change the questions regularly? Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeNinja Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 It is not about the topics, it is about the structure of your answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mt9754 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I scored too poorly in the written section even though I got a C in English at GCSE. You need to demonstrate you can use complex structures for your sentences, I rarely use them as my line of work is very technical. Another challenge with IELTS is that it's paper based. For me it meant it took me a long time to write my answers and I couldn't restructure them at the end. Personally I would recommend Cambridge or PTE. PTE is easiest by far and Cambridge is the same as IELTS except you can use a computer if you book the right one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a Masters degree in English! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
