I'm in preparation of IELTS. Ask ko lang, in your opinion, how will you rate yung difficulty for each band? From this kasi, I'll set my time frame, mas madaming time for the 2 most difficult. Yun yung plan ko.

Anyway in the actual exam, you'll be answering each section separately so you'll be spending the same amount of time per section.
As for reviewing, based on what I've read here, feedback from friends & personal experience as well,the "degree of difficulty" is not always the same for everyone - different sections, different people - different outcome.
With that, I think it will be best to do a review of all sections first, take some practice exams, check your answers and find out where you're weak at. After that, you can spend some extra hours reviewing and doing practice exams for that section.
God bless!
