Good luck with your exam. I have entered TOEFL a couple of years ago but from what I heard about people who had taken IELTS exam they all complained about listening and speaking. So you'd better focus on those. Also, try to remain calm.

It's an English proficiency test same as TOEFL.

I did IELTS many years ago. Simply carry a normal conversation and don't bring up memes.

How did you do. When I took mine years ago, the used a fucking Irishmen for the listening test. Fuck. Lost so many points there.

Empty your spaghetti beforehand and try not to say "fuck" or "cunt" too often.

Thanks for the tips, I think I did well, the only part I would say that didn't go as great is part 2, when you need to talk about a topic for 2 minutes without stopping.
The interviewer kept nodding and saying mhm, alright, good... but I think thats only to help you relax so I don't think I should go by that.
How did you guys do on your exams, would you say they were hard?

I fail hard at not being a memelord or cursing all the time since I only use English actively on imgboards
Feels bad

IELTS exams aren't "hard" or "easy", they are an attestation of your English level. I got 8.0/9. If it hasn't changed, the maximum level is 9.

You're welcome.
I had taken TOEFL iBT back in 2014 so my results are no longer valid. ;_;
By the way it was a Computer Based Test (CBT).
The overall score was 90/120, pic related says its equal to 6.5/9. wew
