IELTS Pro Tip #4 – Test attitude
Have a good test attitude
The test is NOT testing your ideas and opinions
The test is testing your ability to communicate in
English
Think of the test like a performance
You have 14 minutes to show the examiner your
best English
ALWAYS speak in full sentences
Try to give extended answers
