For those who have taken their IELTS for several times, may you give me some advice on how to improve my result, I took my first exam this June and it was failed, hope you could provide me some pointers or tips on how to improve my IELTS score...do you think review center really works on it? may I also ask if which exam center is better between IDP and British?
Please help me... I starting to loss my hope, I got a very low score in listening and reading.
I am also aiming for 10 points from IELTS but in my profession I need at least 6 in all test.
God bless and Congrats to all who got their Visa!
