2.ielts speaking is not a job interview;it is like an informal conversation with a pleasant stranger
3. Preferably wear sth that will make you comfortable
4. Don't forget your passport or I'd (original)
5. Arrive at the venue early
6. Have something to eat
7. Have a good night's sleep prior to exam
8. Don't take ielts without first doing a mock exam
9. You will be nervous before and during the exam day but be courageous
10. Prepare well before the D-day.
Thanks for sharing Mark.

[@percylanga2797]

11. Bring a transparent water bottle (no labels, no writing of any kind)
12. Use the loo before the test (using the loo during the listening test (30 mins) is not allowed)
13. During the reading test, use the 1 minute pre-test time to quickly read through the questions and make notes of key words / themes / names. This will help you to identify the paragraphs that contain the answers.

Hi E2 Ielts! I scheduled my IELTS academic last August 27 and took it Sept 3. For a week of self-review, I just binge watched your videos and took down tips most especially for the writing part. It was my first try and prayed to get the band score I need. After 4 days,I got my results (L:7.5,R 7.5,W 7.5,S 8.5) with band 8 overall. I just can't thank you enough for these substantial videos you share with us. I was candid during the speaking test and enjoyed it a lot. Writing became easier with all your tips. Continue helping Ielts takers with your videos. God bless you all! from the Philippines.

Warm Greetings to E2 IELTS Team!
I really wanted to say Thanks to E2 IELTS for all your constant hard work helping students like me to achieve their desired scores.
Back in May and July when I was preparing for my exam, I watched so many videos on this channel, which helped me a lot to clear so many confusions regarding how to deal with different all the four modules and their distinct type of questions.
I got 7 score in IELTS and was able to apply for my PR.
