IELTS Preparation

About IELTS
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) test exam is taken with pencil and paper, and takes three hours and 45 minutes to complete. It is divided into four sections: Speaking, Reading, Listening, And Writing. 

Listening (30 minutes): You will hear voice recordings of both monologues and conversations, on different topics and in a range of accents. These recordings get more difficult as the test goes on. You will then have time to answer questions on the recordings to demonstrate how well you have understood them.
Reading (60 minutes): You will be given three written passages to read (from books, magazines, newspapers and journals). You will then answer a series of questions testing your comprehension of each passage.
Writing (60 minutes): This paper consists of two tasks. First, you will be given data in the form of a chart, graph, diagram or table and will need to write a 150 word summary demonstrating your ability to understand the information and describe the main features. In the second section, you will write a short essay of around 250 words, in response to a statement or question, demonstrating your ability to construct and articulate a brief argument.
Speaking (11-14 minutes): You will have a face-to-face interview with an examiner, during which you will be assessed on your ability to answer questions, interact with the examiner and talk at length on a familiar topic.
All candidates take the same listening and speaking tests, but there are different reading and writing tests for the Academic and General Training versions. If you are taking the test as part of a university application, you will need to take the Academic version. You should inform the administrator of this before the test begins.

My Experience
In this section I would like to share my personal experiences regarding the IELTS test. However, in this section, I also like to share the materials which I have found for my test preparation. I hope these will be helpful for you too.

Speaking Test Preparation
First of all I would like share a video with you which was helpful for me. This video describes, whether it is the same that to practice at home and a real test performance. These two should be different.
