Need IELTS to get in Uni

Post by Anne_marija »

Hi,
my story quite sad but I'm willing to change it.
I have taken IELTS 3 times and didn't score 5.5 in writing that's why I didn't get into uni and now I'm ready to do it all over again. I'm looking for huge improvement in writing part, I know my weakens is spelling but I really don't know how to improve it.
I'm looking for useful books, websites or on-line course that could help me.

Thanks a lot, Anna

Spelling only covers a small part of the criteria and is very unlikely to prevent you from getting 6/6.5.
Most candidates need to ...
1. answer the question, not the topic
2. use clear vocabulary rather than throwing in higher level vocab that is incorrectly used
3. use a variety of grammar structures
Good luck!
David
