This was my first attempt, and I definitely didn't expect to get CLB 6 in writing. I knew my speaking section didn't go very well because I was extremely nervous. Since it was my first time taking the exam, I think my nerves got the better of me.

I also found the listening audio much faster than I expected, which is probably why I scored lower than I had hoped.

I think I need to focus on improving my speaking and listening more than anything else before my next attempt.

Has anyone else struggled with nerves during the exam? If so, what helped you stay calm and perform better? I'd really appreciate any tips or advice.
