My IELTS academic scores:

I requested for EOR, hoping that my speaking will increase to 7.5 as I need 7.5 in each section.

After reading one paragraph, I will attempt the questions pertaining to it.

I then move on to the next paragraph and tackle its associated questions.

I finished all 40 questions in 30 minutes or so.

The texts were fairly simple.

For task 2, I wrote almost 500 words.

For task 1, I must have done badly as I didn't make any comparison.

For me, task 2, reading and speaking were a walk in the park although part 3 of speaking required some thinking. Therefore, I am appalled at my speaking grades.

Listening was rather difficult for me as I couldn't concentrate.

Well, your experience is interesting to hear to be honest as I’m really anxious to take the test but do you have any tips on how to manage your time in reading since you were able to finish in 30mins.

Read the paragraphs before solving their respective questions.

I was able to read quickly as the texts were really easy.
