    Expert Tips for IELTS

    1

    Reading: practice skimming and scanning — you won't have time to read every word

    2

    Listening: practice with British, Australian, and American accents

    3

    Writing: learn the IELTS essay structure (Introduction, Body 1, Body 2, Conclusion)

    4

    Speaking: record yourself and review — most improvement comes from self-awareness

    5

    A score of 7.0+ in each band is the gold standard for top universities
