I'm going to make the IELTS test on 12th of July after one month from now.
I'm looking for someone who has great knowledge about the IELTS test and how people can get high scores in it.
I need help in the writing section. I'm going to write articles about one article each day until the date of my test. I want someone to check my articles, gives me feedback, and tells me how to improve my writing skills.
If you have knowledge about this issue. I'll be glad to discuss with you how are we going to collaborate together and speak about more details payments, number of articles, and meetings or online meetings if it's possible.
Best Regards,

Hi Stevanoo1

I presume your IELTS test has been scheduled for 12 July, right? I'm not sure who your exam administrator is but I did my IELTS last December with the British Council and passed with Band Score 7  :D I did all the practice tests online which was provided by the BC for 30 free hours and I really found it very useful. On the day of the exam, it was the Reading section which I found quite challenging although it was not the case during the practice.

I know I'm not someone you're looking for, but just thought I'd like to share my experience with you.

All the best and good luck with your exam!!

Hi Stevanoo1

There are also other websites where you can do some practice tests (I can't remember which though... but you can just type IELTS practice test paper, perhaps?)

I'm not studying or working at the moment - just enjoying being here.

All the best for your test and I also hope you will score, at least, 7  :D

Merhaba Stevanoo1!

I know it's too late and you've done you exam now but I hope you got the score you were after?

I am a native English teacher who specialises in getting students through their IELTS exams, so if you need any help in the future please don't hesitate to contact me.

Tips for others taking the exam... the other posters are right, you need to practice past papers a lot, there are several books with past papers available as well as the ones provided by the British Council. Another tip for reading is to practice looking for synonyms so that you can increase your reading speeds and not have to read every word of the text! For more tips you can have a look at my blog on missgeorgeenglish.com
