First of all,im really grateful to ms.Grace for all knowledges she gave. All the methods she taught and homework she gave were really useful! In my opinion, listening is actually easier compared to other tasks in the ielts exam. Sections 1-2-4 were fine for me,I could manage to get every answer and most of the time,they were correct. But my biggest problem was section 3, multiple choice questions. I used to miss the correct answer all the time. And a couple of weeks before my exam,i forced myself to take notes. Ms Grace always says to take notes,but i was just lazy to do that. But in the end, i did that anyway🥲 So,just do whatever ms Grace says,its always useful. Reading was my weakness. I couldn't complete all the passages in one hour, and consistently had 6.5. More than a month before my exam, I divided the Cambridge books, like one book for one week. I practiced one day with Cambridge, and the next day I did reading from other sources. Due to this daily practice, I learned to finish all the passages on time. Analyzing my mistakes was also important. After I started to ask and explain to myself why I made a particular mistake, my score increased. Can't say anything extremely useful about writing, because it wasn't my strong side too🥲 just do more practice Speaking: if you don’t have time at home to practice speaking,or just lazy like me,at least stay after lessons at Cambridge and practice a couple of hours with your group-mates. Learning new words is also really important,if you learn a lot of words, you won’t struggle on the exam to find a word to describe something. Take your friend to your exam to practice a little bit before exam,to switch your mind to English.

Assalamu alekum everyone. First of all, I have advice for those who will take test for the first time, exam is not what you are thinking of , it is easier than tests you are doing during the class. Even real exam is actually easier than Cambridge's mock. As for listening, in this section, i could have got 8.0 with ease, my 5 mistakes were spellings 🤦‍♂️. I did a lots of practices until the exam focusing mainly my comprehension which means i did not work on my spelling skill and i missed 5 questions. That is why i'd advice to work on all skills at least one month before exam. Apart from that, we got videos in the class and we had to talk this. That helped me understand what i was listening and increased my speaking. Reading is my favorite section. We did a lots of passages with msGrace during the class and we always discussed questions together. I think this helped me improve my reasoning , vocabulary and comprehension. And we had to prove our answers , this helped me understand whole topic and made the lesson interesting. Besides, we learnt complex grammar structures during the class and this was one of the main factors which led to good score in reading. Unlike others, i like writing. Until the exam, i wrote tons of essays and read hundreds of examples. Despite such efforts, i did not understand basis of writing. But two months before exam, i started to realise what the writing actually is with help of msGrace. I got 6.5 on writing section since i did not manage my task one , i wrote it in a hurry. I think i got enough knowladge about writing from my teacher to get 7 and above. Speaking was really challange to me. I practiced on this skill less than others. But i always tried to do tasks like retelling articles and so on. And i gave my all effort in last days practicing with my great partner. I think this helped me to feel confident while i was speaking in exam. In a nutshull, it is possible to get desired score on IELTS. For that , you have to be patient, just keep what you are doing and what teacher gives you. Thank you msGrace🖤. I am glad to have chosen your class !!! @byrosh

Dear my students 🙏 Please send your IELTS certificates (results) if you haven't sent it to me yet Here is my profile link @grace_sw Waiting for your messages 🙌

Hi there! Before going to details, i’d just say, relax because it’s not going to be as difficult or as complex as you might be scared. It’s just an exam where you have to prove that the times you’ve spent on English were worth it. Speaking: It actually was the section which i practiced the most, although i got lower score than i expected. I mostly practiced speaking with my group mates and friends and thanks to them i could constantly gain something new. Here i must thank my support teacher as well since he also put a lot of effort. When it comes to exam itself, i’d say it was good. My examiner was a nice person and due to that fact i could feel comfortable and talk freely. Note that it doesn’t mean your speaking test mood must be up to examiner’s mood. As Ms Grace says: you’re the boss of the exam, therefore be confident. Listening: I’m still happy that taking notes actually helped me in this section. Section 2 and section 3 were full of multiple choice questions so i took notes. I’d advice you the same but you’d better practice it for some time to get to know which information to write in order to get an appropriate answer. Stay concentrated and listen carefully. By the way, make sure you can spell words correctly. I made a silly mistake by misspelling the word barbecue, so try not to repeat it. Reading: I had matching headings and matching information so i mostly wasted my time thinking about only one question. Don’t do like that. Also, writing your answers straight away to the answer sheet can save you time. Well, i can only recommend practicing reading and analyzing as they’re totally essential. Furthermore, trying to prove your answer even though you’re wrong can actually help you to get a better explanation of correct answer during your preparation, that’s why try your best. Writing: I always write, firstly, the introduction and overall parts of Task 1, and then instantly go to Task 2. That’s exactly what i did on my test. But before even starting writing something, i planned both tasks. I highlighted some striking changes in Task 1, and divided my thoughts into two groups in Task 2.  I got agree/disagree question so i sticked to my own point by positioning it stronger than the other side and gave some examples. My advice here probably would be - plan. That’s really important to sort your ideas out. Finally, i’d also recommend to do some practice tests before the main exam to adapt yourself to the condition. But don’t overload yourself. One reading passage along with 2 sections of listening might be enough. Don’t be nervous. Good luck;)

Personally, I was always very nervous about the IELTS exam, and I imagined it to be super difficult. However, when I actually took the test, all my worries were nothing. I will start with listening. 1. Listening: My biggest problem was concentration. I guess, because of this I couldn’t achieve my dream score. That’s why I suggest to find your own way of being focused. So, to improve my listening skills, I listened to podcasts and watched videos on various topics. They helped me to learn new vocabulary and broaden my knowledge. Of course, practice, identifying my own weaknesses and using Ms Grace’s strategies were crucial 😁. 2. Reading: The reading section was easier than I had expected. I found all the passages interesting, which allowed me to manage in time. I recommend to read all articles that Ms Grace sends. Compared to books, articles have topic-related vocabulary and reading on different topics helps to broaden your horizons. Additionally, doing consistent reading practices at home and with Ms Grace are indeed important👍. 3. Writing: Don’t skip writing practices🥲, so from writing I can recommend to plan your essay carefully, in order to not forget about your ideas or words during your writing. Also, as I mentioned before, watching videos and reading articles on essential topics, help to produce your ideas effectively. Don’t forget about improving your grammar :) 4. Speaking: The speaking section was conducted via Zoom(which I didn’t expect) was disappointing😪. So, It's crucial to be calm, despite the situation. I suggest practicing speaking as much as possible, using a variety of vocabulary and grammar structures in your speech, to improve confidence in your own speech. Also, in part 2 spend your time to plan wisely, choose an answer that is easy to describe, as this will help avoid pauses during your speech. Finally , I recommend having something sweet to eat before the exam and finding someone to talk with. They can boost your mood and alleviate stress. Also, listening to something before your exam helps to warm up to your listening section.

Jamshid's feedback for those who are taking computer delivered exam👇🏻 Hi guys. As a person who chose computer-delivered IELTS these are my suggestions: 1) Don't risk unless you are a good typer 2) If you really want to choose CD IELTS, practicing in PC is beneficial, also increase your typing speed. In my case Listeng part was quite fine but unfortunately the "Multiple choice questions" which is my weakness were too many in section 2, 3 which i didn't really expect. So if you have some problems find them and fix them. Also taking notes is useless in CD IELTS because in the end of the Listening only 2 minutes are given to check the answers and in addition in the end of the each section when 30s are given it is better to read questions of next section. In reading 1 and 2 passage were easy, I was able to finish and double check them in 30min, but the 3 passage was disaster with full of unknown words. I am certain that all the mistakes I made were in that passage. I think only learning new words can increase your reading score. In case if someone is taking CD IELTS you don't have to type in reading you can use just these buttons  Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. It really saves your time. Writing was challenging for me. In Part 2 they didn't ask me about my opinion that's why i felt trapped because I used to write about topics that required my opinion. Before the speaking, watching in YouTube other's speaking exam is helpful which i did. Also if you are too nervous try to imagine that you are gonna talk not with examiner but with your friend. Finally always try to do homework although you get more homework as punishment and be ready to the worst case scenario ( don't assume "i will not have these type of questions" like me in writing)

In Sevinch's words: First of all, all homework which is given by Ms Grace should be done 100% 😎🤓, because her teaching style is unique👍. She doesn’t work only on IELTS strategies, but she helps to improve general English as well, which is why students get high scores. 🤩🤩 You don’t have to only practice a lot before your real exam! What most students do is that they practice a lot, so struggle to improve their band score on IELTS🤦‍♀️. Instead, it is better to focus on improving general English first. If you do, you are likely to get a high score. If you have less time before your exam, practicing with analyzing helps. You must ask a question: Why did I make this mistake? Why it is not 9.0? And answer to that, no matter how much time it takes. Because as life circle, if you don’t work on your mistakes, they will appear again and again. When it comes to a test, the most important thing is that it is your mindset. IELTS is just a test: it only shows your level in English, which means you don’t have to be anxious before and during your exam. Just be calm and confident! ☺️ Mistakes that I have made and that I don’t want you to make is that:🤫 1) Work on managing your time in reading, don’t be interrupted by anything. 2) In listening, I had a map. I have made mistakes in map because I didn’t take notes. You have to takes notes! Otherwise, you will forget everything in recording. 📝 3) Work on all types of graph and questions in writing. Remember! You don’t have to use something that you don’t know, writing is like speaking: examiner should understand the graph in your essays without a handout. You have to just answer to a question. 4) Well, speaking is a long story! In speaking, I had a difficult topic: Air pollution, but I could get 8.0 on that. 😅 Having passed real IELTS speaking twice, I have understood that you must work on your general English. What you must do is that: 1) Talk a lot. No matter whether you have a partner or not, you must talk in English more to get high score. 2) Analyze your speech! Record your answers to questions and work on each mistake. It can be a pronunciation mistake, grammar, misusing a word or others. Work on your weaknesses, do not repeat the same mistake. 3) Imitate TEDX TALKs for your fluency as Ms Grace says. If you do, you will be able to talk like a native speaker! Having talked to a lot of students who came to pass a speaking exam to Idp and got low scores, I have realized that they learn answers on app by heart. However, they don’t know that it is obvious for an examiner. For this reason, you don’t have to do this, instead answer to questions naturally!😉

In Durdona's words: First of all thank u so much Ms. Grace ❤️ i got that score because of you. I was so anxious before my exam therefore I wasn’t feeling myself well I had a headache. So, I had some pills. If your anxiety causes some problems, take some pills like me. It helps. Listening is the easiest aspect in Ielts examination. It can be improved without much effort. In order to get high score from it u should just listen something in English constantly. Me personally, had watched almost 200 movies and cartoons and also I tried to listen to podcasts every single day. I was so into writing every single word from podcast or cambridge listening section 4 and it helped me a lot maybe that’s why I got high  score from listening. Reading was my weakness. Even though I had read a lot of books in English I struggled in it. I understand the text but can not find appropriate answer. If I will ever take ielts again, I would  work on my reading harder.   Considering my level, I needed to do more reading passage I mean practice, but I didn’t do that😅 Speaking of my writing, I should admit that I didn’t work on my writing much. So I can’t recommend anything 😅 I always thought that I could get 7 from speaking. But 1 month before my exam I only did listening and reading, I didn’t speak much in English. Therefore my speaking had lowered My biggest inspiration and the reason for my success is ms. Grace honestly. Without her I wouldn’t get my dream score.  Thank u so much for all your efforts ❤️❤️❤️

In Nodir's words: Listening: stay concentrated during the exam, don't think about previous question like me if you miss one. 39 out of 40 is still band 9. And also, try to keep your headphones away from your hands, it creates some distraction and as a consequence the quality of the audio drops. Reading: do not choose the options unless you see the proof; do not make conclusions in your head. If you finish all the questions, recheck it, especially passage 1 cause I've made a mistake in that passage and i realized it as soon as they took away my answer sheet 🥲 DO NOT WRITE TRUE FALSE IN YES NO NOT GIVEN QUESTIONS!! Writing: I'd suggest to start doing from task 2 since it gives you more of your score; don't try to use fancy words if you're not completely sure how to use them. Speaking: before the exam, speak for about an hour in English with someone, it helps you switch your brain into English. Also, try to evaluate your performance by yourself cause examiners tend to underestimate the candidates just like in my case

In Diyora's words: Hiii,First of all guys, don't miss the lessons, it was my main problem, I will explain why. For the listening part,it was pretty easy,and I think Ms Grace's method works really good(I'm talking about note taking),also by myself I watched TV series, movies and others and I tried to watch without subtitles. For the reading part,I can say that my most hated sections are writing and reading. And as you understand I did it by hard. I can only recommend you reading books, and try to do every reading part in Cambridge books,and try to do reading at lessons with miss Grace, it is really effective. Because of my absences(I was mostly absent when they were doing reading, and writing section)I had some misunderstandings somewhere. About speaking,for me it was cool. It seemed to be easy, but for the 3rd passage I changed my mind. First of all I can say that your good mood,and your confidence really affects on your score,because if you have good mood you will definitely share it with your examiner. Before Ielts I went mock billion times,and you know every examiner said that I have simple structure sentences,and I tried to develop my sentences, and worked on it,but on the day of exam,i forgot everything,because of stress. Definitely you should improve your vocabulary and grammar, but mostly try to answer in that way that you Definitely understand, and examiner will not look at your other staff. If it comes to writing,I missed a lot of lessons,and that's why I think I got low score,for example in exam for the first part i got table,and you know at the lesson when they were studying tables I was absent,and I think I got scores only for my second task. I can only recommend you improve you grammar skills,do some destination,learn topic related words,and read every science articles that ms Grace gives you,because it helps to broaden your horizons,and you will have more ideas, and imagination for second task Wish you well,and get high scores
