You can do most of your IELTS study yourself for FREE!\n\n1. Read for 1 hour every day. Do not use a dictionary. Read different kinds of texts (newspaper, novel, magazine, website...) every day.\n\n2. Listen to the news every day. When you are listening, write down 'what, where, when and what' you hear.\n\n3. Speak to a friend in English for 30 minutes every day. Do not use your language at all and do not use a dictionary. This will force you to construct sentences with the English you already have.\n\n4. Write a practice essay every day and get a teacher or myself to correct it and give you advice on how to improve.\n\nI hope this helps.\nMike

If you studied well, take a few hours off to rest.  Be sure to eat a nutritious healthy meal before you go in for the exam, breathe in deep when you sit at the exam table and get your question paper to help you relax, then calmly read the questions, take the questions one by one starting with the topics you know best and answer them to the point (no waffle and) in clear and legible language, use technical words whenever possible, and move on to the best.  Don't pause except to have a sip of water if you are allowed, and when you are through, don't forget to read through them one more time for a final check.  good luck

I call IELTS, British TOEFL.  It is a standardized test of English.  In the listening section, speakers are British.  You should know word differences between the countries such as sidewalk, flashlight, lift, etc.\nThe Academic writing tasks require a argree/disagree persuasive writing and describing a (in most cases) graph or process diagram.\nTry a Kaplan centre.  You can probably get some free information from them.

And alottttt of money honey..

I have answered many similar questions but to be brief, IELTS tests on the English worldwide with less linguistic bias than TOEFL, provincially focused on North American English. IELTS comes in academic and professional flavours.\n\nIt is difficult to tell which exam is easier (for individual prospective candidates :I ), but use the differences as explained above and answers to other similar questions to your advantage.

Reading, listening, practice.\nYou should read books, news in English.\nYou should listen to radios and watch TV channes in English. It is not necessary you to understand every word said. In this way you may get accustomed to speaking and listening English.\nThe best way is to be able to practice who knows English well.

Use good test taking skills. Get a good night's rest before the exams. Eat a healthy breakfast (lunch). Go in prepared and confident. Bring the materials you need. Take your time and answer carefully.\n\nAsk your teachers/professors what will be on the exams, and what formats they will use (multiple choice, true-false, matching, short answer, essay). Study carefully. Anticipate what questions will be on the test and what you will be expected to know.\n\nGood luck!
