girlonfire:

Overall Band 8.0
Listening 8.5
Reading 8.5
Writing 7.0
Speaking 7.5


It was really easy thanks to God so dont panic.
People may have had bad results but just tell yourself that your case will be different.
Practice and understand the model for writing at ieltsbuddy.com i just looked at it a night to my test and I scored well. I dont know what I would have done if I didnt. Thank God.
Then for listening, try to be attentive and calm. with much practice, you will know how to concentrate and answer questions.
For reading, practice and time yourself in your practice. reading is a bit technical because there is no model way of doing it. I read my questions before passage and some do it the other way round. the most important thing is being able to know the answers. when you practice, you will learn how to get answers that were not outrightly stated in the passage.
Speaking was very cool. The interviewer was very friendly. There was a bit of tension but I tried to focus on answering the questions. Some did not apply to me so I told him I have not had that experience but I also told him what I have heard about it or seen in movies.
About the main topic to talk on, it really did not apply to me and i was distabilzed but my one minute to plan was counting. immediately it was up, the guy asked me to start talking. I just had to be creative and follow the guideline he gave. I tried to imagine it and I was able to talk.
The most important thing here is you being able to fabricate a story and relay it to the interviewer. so your brain has to be creative and you have to be ready to speak directly from your creative thoughts. (this is if you have never had the experience they are asking)

Overall it was a great. and thank God for it.

Still wondering how some of ya'll got 7 and above in writing. I have written ielts twice now (my mistake, wrote the ordinary one first before i found out i needed to write one for UKVI) and i have only managed a 6.5 in the writing. The second one came out nice, 8.5 in both the reading and listening and 7.0 in the speaking. Anyways, Just tot i should add a few more tips.
1. ieltsbuddy.com is probably the best website for you. They will help you through everything. I suggest you head there first before practicing with the materials.
2. For the speaking test, apart from the tips on the ieltsbuddy website, Make sure you get there on time. You will meet other applicants so strike up a conversation with one of them. For someone like me who doesn't speak english always, i was able to sort of 'warm up'. When i got in, it was uphill from there.
3. For the Listening. You will only hear the recording once so please, don't think about that girl you straffed yesterday or that fine boy inside the bus on your way to the center. If you lose concentration just for a few seconds, you will find yourself a couple of answers short. It is pretty easy to get a 9.0 here.
4. For the reading, they have a lot of long ass piece for you to read. I am used to reading and enjoying center spreads of newspapers so it was nothing . Try to enjoy the story/article. That is the best way to really understand it. The questions are also in the order the passage is written so the next answer is in the next paragraph and you don't have to remember where an answer is or start looking throughout the entire passage to answer the next question.
5 As for the writing, there are enough tips on the website and there are enough written examples towards the end of the materials posted on here (Go back to like the first couple of pages). If you are not dumb as i am, you should probably get something higher than i did.

IELTS has one golden rule though, Always read the instructions. See heh, failing to do that singular thing almost guarantees that you will pile 4.0s in all bands. Writing has minimum number of words to be written for both sections. Anything less than that and you are done. Reading and listening has the amount of words they are expecting for every answer. If the section says 'Only one Word' and you write more then one, sorry is your name oo.. If the instructions says not more than two words from the passage and you write something else. Bro, you are on your own.

I hope this helps sha. If you need anything else, Holla, If i can help, I will always help. Also if you are applying to study in a UK university, Please register for IELTS for UKVI instead oo.. It is more expensive and only online payment is accepted (last time i checked)
