21/30thanks Jay have learnt a lot
Please make the video for reading and writing tooo 🙏
@@candidates8841 Yes please. Will be much appreciated
Can I write the answers all capitals?
Please make video for ielts general reading and writing task 1 and 2 for General Training
I scored 8.0 overall, listening 8.5, writing 7.5, reading 8.5, speaking 7. I thank e2ielts for this. i studied for like 3 weeks, approx 1 hr everyday, practiced from Cambridge book and solved 14,15,16 edn. firstly i started with familiarity phase where all i wanted was to get familiar with the types of questions (ps didn't even know these much question types existed). The I saw every video of e2ielts and made notes revised them before solving questions (this made a huge difference) and then what was left to do was practice. i practiced writing with half the time( it was difficult initially but achievable), reading i used different strategy i skipped skim reading realised it wasted time ( rather solved questions side by side), in listening i was facing a lot of problems so i practiced with 1.75x speed and without earphones (speakers as i read some centres do that and it changes a lot). Hope this helps.
Heyy.....i'm milind patel from gujarat........i'm thinking about starting classes....so Have you done any classes??.....if yes and you from gujarat too then please suggest good classes for ielts.....
@@patelmilind7621 hey, no i didn't attend any classes.
@@Carbonmonoxide007 can you please guide me that how did you started in beginning....and how can i prepare for it(for example playlist in sequence).....so that i can save time and learn rapidly and efficiently....
can you please share me cambridge 14 ,15,16 books please ?
u might have learned English from your childhood days onwards....congratulations.
Listening:7.5, Reading:8.5, Writing:7.0, Speaking:6.5 - Overall: 7.5. Watch your playlists 1 month before my exam and achieved my desired target. I express my gratitude towards E2 IELTS team. You guys are doing a great job.
Bro can you plz give me some tips
@@madie_verse bro can you share your wtsp no
@@madie_verse which is this website
@@madie_verse amad bro my listen and reading are not increasing
Hello, Congratulations, I am happy for you. Could you please tell me which playlists did you watch and did you have study plan for one month?. Thanks in advance
Hi Jay. I used all the methods that you have taught on this platform and I had only 6 days to prepare for my IELTS exam. I got an overall band score of 8 on my first attempt. Thank you so so much. From South Africa
Plz can I know how u did it
I got my result today and I scored 7.0 overall, first attempt and 3weeks of e2 lessons and practice. I am grateful to you and your team. Had no extra class. You guys are the best. I will recommend you to friends and colleagues. Thank You so much
I got 7.5 overall in IELTS (First attempt) 🧿 The videos definitely helped big time . Thank you team 🙏
Congratulations! Did you take it for Academics or General Training?
I've got 27 out of 30, all three mistakes came from the first question of each section, so I learned today that you have to be super focused as the answer might come from the very first sentence itself. For reference, what I got wrong was: 11) blank - should be key values 21) blank - should be essay and 26) movement of energy (three words, I now realized) - should be circular orbit - I'll let you guys know my results once my exam is done in two days' time! Wish me luck and best of luck as well for the people about to take the IELTS!
How I can improve my listening module pls helps me someone 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@simreenkaur5569 If you can focus a-z in the test, you're gonna solve 80% problems of your listening test. Most people struggling with focusing continuously for 30mins. Try to get used to TED talks and other documentaries. Listen to IELTS listening tests on UA-cam and match with transcripts in Cambridge books. It'll help if you're struggling with understanding the accent! You'll find all the Cambridge listening tests on UA-cam.
did you recieve the score?
I got 21/30
I got 25/30. I'll keep practicing, thank you for the breakdown, it's really helpful
Thank you so much jay. This is to encourage everyone who are scared. If I can do it, you can even do it better because English isn’t my thing especially when it comes to writing essay and reading. I was giving so many materials to prepare myself for the ielts but they were just to complex for me.. one day as I was browsing out some channels on UA-cam, I came across jay channel and his way of teachings really helped me out. He’s the best teacher so far when it comes to breaking things down to your level. I only had two weeks to prepare and I only watched lots of jays videos even despite watching his videos, I wasn’t really that serious due to work but I did apply all his teachings and I got band 7 score over all and that’s all I needed. If an unserious fellow like me can do it, you can do it even better
I promised myself I would come back here with my results. After watching your videos, i was able to prepare for the IELTS within a month, and I got 9.0-Listening, 8.5-Speaking, 7.5-Reading and 7.0-Writing. E2 videos were a tremendous help to my preparation. Thank you, Jay and the whole team at E2
Seriously within a month ??? And with jst E2 video???
@@tina2nice yes please. A month. E2 videos and lots of practice. I also watched videos on speaking from Keith’s Speaking Academy right here on UA-cam

@@lyannxatse thank you for answering. Thats great score, congrats!
I want to thank Jay, Alex and E2 team for their dedicated work 🙂🙂. I achieved my desired score by watching all your videos.. Thank you Jay.
Thanks Jay, i prepped 2 weeks before i took my Ielts test, got my results and overall got a 7 in first sitting and got 8 for listening, what let my mark down was reading and and writing, but i'm happy with my results and have you to thank for that.Thank you🌸
My first practice I got 23/30 will keep practicing 💪🏽
27/05/23 I wrote my IELTS exam
Here to give a big thank you to Jay and Team I didn’t practice for long I jus wanted to master a few things so I could get an average score which I did get 🤝
Score?
Thank you so much for the great content you share. I watched your video a month to my exam as a first-time test taker. I scored a band 8.0 overall. 8.5: Listening, 9.0: Reading, 7.0: Writing, 7.5: Speaking.
I'm grateful.🎉
28/30 ....I really appreciate e2 for their kind gestures towards seeing that students achieve their goals and aspirations.
Thank you for this great practice. I believe I will cope and performed well in my Exam.By The Help Of Holy Spirit
I have anxiety and get nervously distracted easily. For those reasons, IELTS is a massive challenge to me. Your techniques are helping me to calm myself down and keep developing my concentration and confidence.
Thank you 🙏 😊
Ohhh really the massive challenge becomes easy after just watching one video ? wow 😂 u must be an intelligent one !
Same the case with me😢 might be it would help
Hi Jay, I got 21/30. Last part is the more complex. I hope to improve sooner than before! Thanks a lot. You're a legend
25/30. My first practice for listening. Thanks E2 for providing such a material free of cost.

This is amazing. I am a stay-at-home teacher with TEFL and I am now going to help students with IELTS
I learnt a lot from this video. Followed through the practice test and got 29 questions correctly (the spelling of the word "trough" got me)... thank you E2
I just want to give a big thanks here to Jay/Alex and your whole team at E2. I am a Native English Speaker but had to attend this test within a 2 week timeframe. I was super crunched for time but following your videos I was able to achieve a 8.5 overall. Listening 8.0 Reading 9.0 Writing 7.5 Speaking 9.0 Overall 8.5. Thank you SO MUCH! This was very important for me to be able to move forward with studying abroad and will make my life a lot easier. Keep up the good work and excellent content!
@@blackstone611 look man I don't actual comment on many videos or channels. I only really comment where its due and honestly E2 is extremely professional, I do not even need to say anything, the content speaks for itself. If someone is reading this and thinking I am a liar, then go watch E2's content, go do the test and let the results speak for themselves.
Very Impressive, great job❤
This is an appreciation tweet for Jay and E2 academy. I had one week for preparation and found this channel on UA-cam. I liked Jay's style of teaching and binge watched most of his videos for all four sections. I am happy to share that I have got band 8 in my IELTS Academic that too in first attempt. To be specific I got;
Listening: 9
Reading: 8
Writing: 6.5
Speaking 8.5
I have not used any other source for preparation except for some online practice tests.
I only had 2 weeks to practice with all your tutorials in July and on my first attempt I must say I was quite impressed with my results because of your tutorials which made me more confident. You guys are the best and am highly recommending you. L8.5,W6.5, R6, L7.5 overall band 7 am grateful 🙏🏼 #practicemakesperfect👌🏽
I'm yet to write and hope I make it at first attempt.Congratulations
@@geesnaturaljuicesmoothies603 you will make it especially if you practice all 4 components with Jay. His teaching is so simple. All the best!

This was amazing.
I got 24/30 and I need more practice. Minor mistakes costed a lot. 😁
My first practice for listening. Thanks E2 for providing such a material free of cost.
A very short and simple and very informative tutorial. As a first timer I found it way easier after that. Scored 25/30 on the first attempt. Definitely recommending my friends to this channel.
24:30 ❤ please do you register in a center or online exam
Hey Jay! I want to say a special thanks to you for your videos as they helped me immensely during my IELTS preparation. I saw your videos for just 2 nights and I was scoring really well in all the sections. I was able to score a BAND 8 in my IELTS General exam just because of my hard work and your tips. Thanks for such help and you are doing great for so so many aspirants. Thanks for everything Jay! Your efforts are so so so so so precious. Thanks again !
Hi! Sanjeet. From, where can i find the General IELTS material in hard form?
All important things are covered so clearly and discussed in detail.
This is what I need, rest is done only by practice.
Thank you very much.
❤❤❤❤
Dearest Jay, I'm very grateful to E2 team for the videos , learning tips and excellent motivational support you guys showcase in each and every module videos. This helped me a lot and I have followed you all for more than a year... finally the results paid off, scored overall 7.5 (L-8.5, R7 W7.5 S -7.5) thankyou🥰
23/30. I hope to do better in subsequent attempts. Thank you for giving detailed explanation on how to go about each section of the listening test.
I cannot describe how grateful I am! Thank you so much E2 Team, for every video, for every lesson, they are amazing. I got 7,5,even tho I needed only 7 (it was my first time) I will keep watching your videos, just because I like it, not because I need it. W-6,6 R-8,5 L-8 and S-7,5. I would not score 6,5 in writing, if I did not watch your videos, they were extremely useful!
Watched your videos just the night before the test and with one days preparation I scored 7. As a non native speaker and with only one days prep, your videos really helped me. The videos are really precise and straight forward, which contributed vastly to my last moment prep. A big thumbs up! 👍❤️
😮
Thank you so much Jay and Alex for providing us with amazing strategies to apply on. Yesterday my result was announced and i got some decent figure as i desired.
How much did you got ?

Thank you Alex and Jay for your videos...I highly recommend to watch the videos here and practice the ielts 4 practice tests in the ielts booklet is sufficient for the actual test. I just followed the above and scored overall 7 with 2 weekend preparations.
(ps: as I am a working professional I couldn't practice daily.)
Scored 8.0 overall (L: 8.5 | R: 8.5 | W: 6.5 | S: 7.5) with approximately 10 full days to practice. Your videos definetely helped a lot! Thank you so much!

I attempted all 30 question and result is 17☺☺☺ but I 'm happy I understand all answers with jay thanks for u r video spelling mistakes is big problem
Hi Jay, I truly appreciate your efforts in preparing this informative video. I have a small observation. Regarding Q5, the answer is Perfect Green but in the answer key, it was shown as Perfect Red.
haha i thought i misheard that too.. and then I realised I was right that it was perfect green
Thank you very much to Jay and the other instructors from E2. I passed the exam for the first try because of your guidance. I got the band score I needed to work abroad: Speaking- 7, Writing- 7, Listening- 8.5 and Reading- 9. Your tips, strategies and examples were of great help.
I got 29 out of 30. I have my IELTS exam in 2 days. Please pray for me!
Today's the 1st day of my 30-day self-review and I just want to say this video helped a lot especially when you discussed the distractors. I got 24 correct answers. :) I am excited to check the rest of your videos for listening.. Well of course, same goes with the rest of the topics. :)
I scored 17 thank you so much.
Thank you Jay and E2 team. I was able to score 8.5 in listening, and overall of band 7, by watching your youtube videos🙂🙏
Really how🤔🤔🤔
Well achieved Sandeep
bro are we allowed to see the question while listening and write them or we should memorize them rather?
@@Cristianobishal As IELTS Listening starts you can look to any questions starting with Section 1 and ending in Section 4. Besides, you can write notes anywhere on your question paper, but not on the answer sheet. It can be useful if the next words of the Listening will not be appropriate. Better write them down or you might forget the word that you memorized because you have to concentrate on the next question.
@@xojiakbar4915 Thank you mate ! ❤
This video is amazing, thanks a million for preparing it for us ❤

Thank you so much for the video. Clearly articulated and helpful.
Thank you mate. I got a band 8.5 in listening because of you.
How u start plz can u tell me
@@HayatKhan-wx3xu practice is key. Try to converse and consume only English content for a couple of weeks prior to your test.
I promised myself that I would come back to this channel after receiving my result. I got my desired score of 7.5 (L:7.5, R:7.5, W:6.5, S:8.5) by only watching E2 videos. I only had 2 weeks to prepare, plus I was working full-time so I didn't have a lot of time to prepare through out the day!
Thank you so much! You guys make such great quality content, couldn't have achieved this without you!
Thank you, Jay! What an amazing teacher you are.
Thanks so much Jay, that was really beneficial. I scored 24 out of 30. The most challenging part for me was section 3. I still need more practice if I am to pass the listening exam.
This was my first Listening study ever and I got 18/30. I'm happy with this, but now I have to practice more. Thanks for your lessons! They are awesome! By the way I could get more because I used "crast" instead of "crest" and "trauff" instead of "trough" (this one was hard).

Maa Shaa Allah ❤
Thank you so much, Jay. I have a problem and since I haven't tried the IELTS exam personally it has been always a bit unclear for me how the process of the Listening part goes. For instance, you showed us the questions here before starting the 10-second count-down and we could look at the questionnaire and prepare ourselves but is that possible during the real exam? since they give you a minute to review your answers from the last section before 10 second preparation time for the next section.
I can't review the questions in only 10 seconds and I have to borrow time from that 1 minute for "reviewing the last section". Could you elaborate on this in one of your videos since I've searched the whole UA-cam and still can't get my head around this issue since many people suggest using the review time for the coming section but apparently you didn't do that here in this video?
thanks a lot again.
Got a perfect score with this exercise! Very insightful and helpful in doing the test 😊
Hello Jay. I sincerely want to appreciate you for these videos. I wrote IELTS on Saturday and the results is as writing 6.5, Listening 7.0, speaking 7.5, Reading 8.0. and Band score 7.5. I say thank you very much because I only studied with your videos
If you're as confused as I am to Question 5, the answer is PERFECT GREEN not PERFECT RED. Anyways thanks for this video, it's very educative.
Yes!😂
This is really expository😲 I learnt a whole lot about IELTS Listening. Thank you so much E2. I scored 25

brilliant job JAY !
E2’s got ya back!
Same. :(
Got 21/30. Very useful tips, will definitely help me further increase my score in this section as well as the others
Hello everyone, I'm planning to have an IELTS test next month. At the moment I'm kinda confused about whether to take notes or not in Multiple Choice and Matching categories:
- If I don't, I usually get confused by tons of information going out for a certain question because of the requirement of listening and reading back and forth, especially for questions with long sentences. I can't remember them all and easily get lost by distractors. But the pro of this is that I can keep track of the main flow or the ideas of the talk.
- If I do, I can save the information for double checks and careful consideration later on, but I can not note all the needed information (since there's lots of information) so sometimes these pieces of info can not help me get the ideas of the questions at all to be able to answer correctly.
Many thanks for your advice!
I just started the listening section, It was my first practice test without any preparation and I secured 15 out of 30..
I know it's not upto that level but it was my first time and I got confidence after watching your lecture. Thanks a bunch!!
i am happy to read atleast some one scored like me,it was my 2nd video overall of E2
