yes, i agree, 7 is a good mark for IELTS, for example, if you are senior high school graduates, and you want to study at Australia, you only need 5.5 IELTS to meet the requirement to study at every foundation in Australia.

I took IELTS test for an exchange programme from my university now.
After going through applications selection and interview, I passed!!!
horayyy!!! If I failed, I think I've been wasting my time and money for IELTS test. but fortunately, I got the exchange programme scholarship!!! hoho

Next February I am going to oz, even though only for 1 semester (about 4-5 months), but I am very happy! For the first time, leaving Indonesia and my family for a long time. New adventure!! Waw, excited. haha

I searched from the internet, in australian university, we have to write lots of papers, assignments, etcetc. In English!!! academic writing..... I have to study and gain that skill. hahaha..
GoodLuck for all of u who are going to take the test!!!!!! Fighting!

I also want to take IELTS test in 2 weeks. I'm targeting score 7. Is it needed to take a prep course before i take the actual test?and how much the cost?maybe you can suggest the best. Thanks

It really depends on you. If you're confident with your skill then there is no need to take the preparation course.

I do think so..In my opinion take prep course just wasting time and money because its really depends on myself..Hope for the best..

Well
I'm an 11th grader, wanting to proceed my study abroad; later when I graduate from senior high


this topic appears appealing to me, whereas me myself is currently taking prep courses for SAT, It's the abbreviation for Scholastic Aptitude Test FYI
Well, it may seem irrelevant to you that I'm talking about SAT here, but both test do have a thing in common, and that is the writing section
After a thorough read
I see that you have problems in the stated section
Well, my guess is that you think too much when it comes to writing
try to relax your mind and start brainstorm your head
It may take some practices, but when you master it, then it's going to be easy as pie!
coz, believe it or not, you know more words than you might think, you just need time to dig deeper to your mind in order to pop out the needed words
To make it even easier, try to seek references from the internet
there are tons of academic writing samples on the internet

And last
tests like this are not always about skills, luck plays a great role too
so!!!!!!!!!! break a leg!

Sorry bro, you are wrong, taking course is not wasting time and money, they give simulation tests. Have you known IELTS before? If yes, never mind. If no, that is wasting time and money. Afew pass the test without preparation, but alot do not. Even thousands have to take many times. If you need some information contact us http://blessing-english.com/
thank you

Absolutely true
why?
IELTS has some sections which require you to comprehend the language even further than regular English
And trust me
It's not a waste of money

Hi all
Is there another IELTS prep course in Surabaya besides IALF???
Just want to look for choices...
Thanks a bunch

what are the tips for good speaking score? i found that my speaking is still unconvincing

anyway, i scored 7,5 on both reading and listening simulation test during my english course, but the time had run out before i started the writing and speaking section.

I got 8.5 on my reading, 8.0 on my listening, 6.5 on writing and... a 5.5 on speaking
Overall band score was 7.0..
I suppose I was off topic at the interview but I'm not really sure how I got 5.5....
So in the end, I decided to remark my speaking score but it wont probably help since it won't change the score that much..
So I guess I have to retake the IELTS next year..

Does anyone know where I could find a bandung - based private tutor ? I need to prep up my speaking and writing.

i forgot to drop by here after my IELTS test, which took place on January 9th

i scored an overall 7.5, with each band scores: Reading 8.5, Listening 8, Writing 7, and Speaking 6.5

in general, i'm satisfied, because it went above my expectation. at first, i expected to got only between 7 and 8 for the reading and listening. the speaking test went just as i expected i'm not that good in that area. moreover, i got a topic i'm not familiar with

got 8.5 in reading and listening, 8 in writing and 7.5 in speaking
I wrote a thread https://www.kaskus.co.id/showthread.php?t=3550070 I think the article I wrote has some decent "hard" words and "linking words"

I found that if you use the same word over and over again to convey the same message, it would hurt your mark/grade severely. try to use some other alternatives

I might probably know this guy or girl ?
....wondering who this TS might be........So,everything ran smoothly,ayt?....
