Writing 8.5
Reading 8.5
Writing 6.0
Speaking 6.5

Overall: 7.5!

It is really my expectation score, but I never expect writing will get such a low marks. :(
Btw, it is the minimum requirement to apply my targeted university!

HOORAY!!

Tada, I am going to share my speaking test:

Part 1:
What is your name?
Do you work or are you a student?
Do you enjoy student life?
Which part do you enjoy the most?
Do you like photography?
Do you like to take photograph when you travel?
Why?
When is the last time you took photograph?

Part 2:
Describe a team project you have gone through.

Part 3:
What do you think we need project work?
What do you think a good leader should have?
What makes a good team?
What is the quality of a good team?
What else other than people?
Do you think children should expose to the team work?

(ps: The examiner din't let me speak for long answer in part 3. She just cut me off after I finished one sentence. This is quite different from the resources I get as they said I need to provide long answer for Part 3)

My schedule is on 3.15 PM but I started at 2.20 PM!

I think I speak quite fluent but I forget to notice I SHOULD USE PAST TENSE in Part 2!!!
Haiz, because of being too nervous! 

For self-study student, I always advise you to start one month before the exam begin. Below is some useful website you can refer:

1. Website from an ex-examiner: http://ielts-simon.com/ielts-help-and-english-pr/
2. Essay correction (AUD19.95 or about RM64 for 8 essays checking): http://www.ielts-blog.com/check-your-ielts-writing/
3. Cambridge IELTS question: If you need the books, you can ask my help to get the books in hard copies at cheap rates. Last time i used to buy Cambridge 4 to 8 for only RM60 (including postage). Ps: Its imported from China and might need 1-2 weeks to reach your home, but it is exactly like the one sold in any book store! (pss: you can reach me via kwenying900103@gmail.com)
4. Target Band 7 is also recommended. :)

That's it!

I think that will be sufficient enough. I don't know how to train my speaking, seriously. Anyone? 

Hi everyone,

Its time for me to share my IELTS experience, although I still have speaking test on 27 February later.

I was taking the IELTS test on this morning in my own campus, UTM. It is quite convenient as I do not have to take a taxi to go to the examination hall.

The listening test is quite hard. Below is the some brief about my listening test:
Section 1: Situation in Airport
Section 2: Meeting in Library and the expansion of library
Section 3: A student how had just enroll in university and conversation with Dr
Section 4: About music industry

While the reading test has only 3 Yes/No/Not Given questions.
Passage 1: About adolescence
Passage 2: forgotten
Passage 3: forgotten
Passage 4: forgotten

Writing:

After I take the examination on 23 and speaking on 27 Feb, I will share the useful link and provide the scanning of the materials I used for self-study.

Please urge me if I do not do so. Wish to help all the candidates who is suffering like me looking for materials since long time ago.

Wish me luck! Thanks! 

Its super crazy I had borrow this book from UTM's library. And I just found out it is actually a textbook for medical students and physicians!
