Is there anyone that has written both ielts Academic and general and which would you say one could get a higher score in, all other things being equal. I know the purposes of both are different anyway.

wrote both and had almost the same scores so I wouldn't say either is more difficult it depends on your capabilities.

Greetings all,
I just registered for IELTS, I will make my payment tomorrow with a bank draft. I registered in Benin, and I intend sending my passport n bank draft through DHL to either British Council in Lagos or Portharcourt. Between Lagos or Portharcourt which will be better for me to send my details?
and should I send the original bank draft or a photocopy?

Please send study materials to prettyolade@yahoo.co.uk

Its practice,practice and more practice. By practice I mean actually writing some essays and timing yourself and having someone proofread for u. If theres nobody, u will sure feel when ur writing has improved. Another means of preparing is reading a variety of sample answers to the same question so it can give you an idea of how to tackle different questions, what is expected of you and also you will be able to connect those different methods of writing to produce a strong/quality essay.
Another thing is the length of your essay, ive written IELTs 4 times, first for admission, then for immigration and last 2 times for certification and ive come to the realization that the length of your essay matters alot. I"ve always written almost the exact 250 words because all this while I thought you couldnt write above that. That way I always limited myself in expanding my ideas. This time around I wrote 6 solid paragraphs. Paragraph 6 was the conclusion. I made them as coherent as possible. E.g my paragraphs were :intro, causes, cons, pros, solutions and conclusion. Guess what, I had a maximum of 2 related but well elaborated points in each paragraph. Mind you I didnt finish writing my conclusion.
Using a variety of Vocabulary is also of essence. Trust me, I used a few "terms/big words" in the right context though.

NB I PRACTICED USING THE WEBSITE GIVEN BY IDP (their writing section is well disected) , IELTSBUDDY AND WATCHED A FEW YOUTUBE VIDEOS WHEN LAZY WHICH WERE OF HELP THOUGH. I prepared for a maximum of 7days but it was intense because I wrote a minimum of 5 essays and alot of reading different writeups.
You can do it, good luck my dear.

Impressive dear, had 6 in writing in my last exam , the part A Of academic is always a problem for me , any tips on how to go abt that
