Generally, IELTS results are released within 13 days after taking the test. However, in some cases, if there are no issues with your test or if you took a computer-based test, you might receive your results slightly earlier.

If you have concerns about your IELTS results or the testing process, the first step is to contact your test center directly. They can provide information and address your specific issues. If you feel that your concerns are not being adequately addressed, you can escalate the matter by contacting IDP officials.

You must be judicious about your time. Try to allocate more time to those sections that trouble you. If IELTS writing task 2 is posing more problems, then allocate more time to it. There is no definite number of IELTS essays that you must practice in order to score above 7.0. However, you must appear for as many mock tests as possible. Moreover, go through the official IELTS websites and Cambridge IELTS books thoroughly. These must be at the base of your preparation.

Definitely not. Please remember that IELTS essay writing is not a test of how many difficult words you write. Rather, it is a test of your writing skills that must have coherence and clarity. Even if you memorize “high-level” words, you will not know whether they can be used in the text or not. Having a strong vocabulary definitely helps, especially in paraphrasing, but it is just one of the scoring criteria. Your focus must be on writing an essay that has a flow where all the points are connect to each other via logic.

IELTS essay writing is not tough if you have prepared well for it. Students must make sure that they understand the basics of writing a coherent, concise, and clear essay. Rather than memorizing IELTS essay types, it is much better if you practice them. Try to understand what kind of essays are asked. Moreover, you must understand IELTS essay scoring parameters. Practice writing essays that are logical and coherent. Do not deviate from the topic. Moreover, do not skip mock tests. Once you learn the art of writing coherent and logical essays that “answer the question”, you can score very well in the exam.
