IELTS Myth #1 ⬆️ | @IELTS_8

Reality ⬇️
You can go from 5.5 to 8 but it takes a quite a long time and a good teacher, good preparation and hard work.
Definitely, not with such shortcuts.

IELTS Myth #2 ⬆️ | @IELTS_8

Reality ⬇️
This is kind of true; you should write "complex sentences" but not complicated. Your essays shouldn't be complex to understand.

#IELTSMyth
IELTS Myth #3 ⬆️ | @IELTS_8 🗯

Reality ⬇️
In IELTS writing you'll often be asked:
"Do you agree or disagree"
"To what extent do you agree"
"What's your view"
etc.....

So it's totally fine to use:
I think ... I believe .... I feel ... Etc.

You must give your opinion if the question asks your opinion.

IELTS Myth #5 ⬆️ | @IELTS_8

Reality ⬇️
No, You can't. You're gonna use Skimming and Scanning to deal with Reading test. But careful reading is the most important in IELTS Reading. Yes, you're gonna use strategies but if you're using authentic materials, you do have to read the text.

IELTS Myth #6 ⬆️🦠 | @IELTS_8

Reality ⬇️
Some people say that the more linking words you use, the better. But this is not true, the criteria the examiners look at, say "Don't overuse and Don't underuse linking words". 3 or 4 linking words are enough in one essay. Linking Words 👈

IELTS Myth #7 ⬆️🦠 | @IELTS_8

Reality⬇️

IELTS Myth #8 ⬆️ 🦠 | @IELTS_8

Reality ⬇️
This is not true; when you're doing your IELTS Speaking test, you should speak at a moderate pace: not too quickly, not too slowly. Simple.

#IELTSMyth 🔗 @IELTS_8
IELTS Myth #9 ⬆️🦠 | @IELTS_8

Reality ⬇️
This is not true. You have to repeat vocabulary when you talk about sports, children or advertisement, etc. You shouldn't overuse one word; 3 or 4 in one sentence or 5 or 6 in one paragraph. And it's totally fine to repeat the words in the question. ❗️

Also, you can't find a synonym for certain words; for example, banana.😄

IELTS Myth #10 ⬆️🦠 | @IELTS_8

Reality ⬇️
IELTS test is not a trick. It's, however, extremely challenging, really tough test, it precisely measures your English language level. If you're not getting the score you need, you should do something about it; improve your fundamental skills and do proper preparation.
