I have an IELTS exam next Saturday 24 Sept and I was looking for any good materials to study from like some writing samples and such. I wonder if anyone here did that exam before....I am a bit nervous since I need to get a high score. Please keep me in your duaa and I will appreciate any links for studying that exam. I already have some but I need some ready samples for writing section for charts.


JazakumAllah khair in advance.

Year ago I helped my friend took IELTS, ill tell you the truth, you are excellent in writing and much better than her, she got 6 something in total which is not bad for Egyptian who never really used to write or speak English, now she's in Canada

The key is dont be nervous and focus on the questionnaire, I hope others can give you materials inshallah, try youtube pls or google it

Wa Alykom Assalam sis,

Thanks a lot for the advice, I already watched some advices from youtube about reading and listening.
I remember taking that exam when I finished high school 6 years ago and I got 5. I need to take it again to see how much I improved during my University studies which was all in English, I need to get above 6 because I might apply for Master

Yeah

No, but even here in UAE universities ask for IELTS and the Master program I am interested in asks for 6.5

The IELTS speaking test was yesterday, Alhumdulilah I did very well especially at the beginning but I got nervous at the middle of the conversation and I think that will reduce the score because I got my thoughts confused.

I will see how the IELTS test tomorrow will be, I hope I will be more relaxed tomorrow. Keep me in your duaa please.

How was the exam sis? I hope it went well :). Share the results also :D.

It was quite good, but the problem is always the time, there is no time for revision I managed to finish the exam just in time and I couldn't have enough time to go through my answers....three hours were like 3 minutes. The results will be announced on Oct 6, I pray that it will be a result that deserved to be announced here :nervous:

Of course it was much easier than the first one I did 6 years ago which might be a good sign that I will do better this time :)

Salam Alaikkum UkhteeInshallah you passed meeting your expectations. Amen

Okay the grade was announced today, I am a bit disappointed though, I was expecting a higher grade like more than 7.
Writing exam did lower my grade since I had to follow a strict structure of essays, I think I was more like a free style writer. The overall grade was 6.5 and it was as the following:

Reading: 7
Writing: 5.5
Listening: 6
Speaking: 7

I was told that I need 6.0 but still, I was aiming for a higher grade. I wanted to test my English and see how much I improved during the last years.
