How long should I prepare for IELTS?

We recommend 3-6 months of dedicated preparation, depending on your current English level and target score.

Which is more challenging – Academic or General Training IELTS?

The academic version is generally more challenging due to its complex reading materials and writing tasks.

How many practice tests should I take before the real exam?

We recommend completing at least 8-10 full practice tests under timed conditions.

Can I prepare for IELTS without a tutor?

Yes, self-study is possible with proper resources and dedication, although guidance from a qualified tutor like David Morris can be more beneficial.

What’s a good IELTS score?

This depends on your goals. Most UK universities require a minimum score of 6.5-7.0, but requirements vary by institution and course.
