Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Robeena
I did my 1st IELTS back in 2012 and in a course i was having the instructor was calming us saying that i nthe beggining you are going to get very bad scores.
and yes i think british accent is inflated but can we do its the Native tongue. and i actually think at times that i enjoy speaking the British way and try getting used to it.
anyway i was so scared of listening above all and guess what i got 8.5 listening , 7.5 reading, 7 speaking, 6.5 writing (i didn`t prepare well and i did a very silly mistake in writing that i realized after the exam) that was the academic version of the test though.
Im now going again to get 4X 7,0 in each module in the 1st of november. practice while relaxing is the best way to do it and even get higher than you might expect
good luck
Nabil
