Many people think the best way to prepare (be ready for) their IELTS test is to study new phrases, speak lots, practice writing, or take General English lessons to improve their English level before the test. This makes sense, but because of the way the IETLS test works, it is wrong.

There many are different questions and answer styles in the IETLS test. For each question there are different rules about how you can answer. You have different times for each section, and there are secret (no one tells you) things that will make your results lower.

So, what is the best way to prepare? It takes at least 6 months to improve your English enough to change your English level, but you can improve your IELTS results with just one lesson. Take IELTS prep classes and learn the best test STRATEGY (how to answer). Here are some things you can learn with IELTS prep classes:

·         What sections there are in the test, and what is expected of you.

·         How much time you have for each question.

·         How to answer if you don’t know, and how to use the answer sheet best.

·         How to write your answers. (No abbreviations? Write out numbers in words? Etc…)

·         When you use full sentences, and when you should answer with one word.

·         Which questions are worth the most points.

·         What tense is best to answer a question in.

·         When you should write in proper English and when slang is OK.

·         When idioms and phrases are good, and when they are bad.
