Today, Lindsay and Jessica discuss what you need to know to pass with the score you want! There are lots of questions about the IELTS exam. It’s not an easy test to take, but it is the most widely accepted test for getting into universities and even for immigration and work visas. One reason for this is that the test is face-to-face with another person, which makes it more real. Though this might sound intimidating, many testers actually find it more relaxing when the examiner is another person, rather than a computer. When students take the test and don’t get the score they wanted, it’s usually because they didn’t have enough real-life speaking practice – they only worked out of textbooks. You need to practice speaking with an actual person. You also need to be honest with yourself about where you are with your English abilities so that you have an obtainable goal.
