hello everybody, congrats to all good scorers, and best wishes for all. I did the Academic Module since I was trying to be ready for many opportunities, I sat for the exam in December 10th, and got overall band 8
L=9, R=8, W=7.5, S=7
I was prepared for the exam 6 months earlier; I began by a book called "Ielts Intermediate" wich contains all 4 parts of the test, then practised some complete test samples, in the last 2 months I went for "Ielt Master Class" book which was hard but really interesting and informative. I downloaded MP3 listening files from the following website (learnenglish.britishcouncil.org) and talked in english with my fiancee.
Since CIC request the General Training version, I must sit again for it.
Note that languages are Skills not Knowledge.
Best wishes for All
