Needed 6.0, got 7.5 overall
I needed a 6.0 for my university bachelor’s program and ended up with a 7.5 overall.
I’m not a native speaker. English is my third language and German my fourth, and my program is taught in both languages.
Unfortunately, I didn’t really have time to prepare. I only watched around 5 short YouTube videos about the test format and what to expect.
If there’s one thing I’d recommend, it’s familiarizing yourself with the format and knowing what’s expected of you in each section. I think that helped me a lot.
Good luck to everyone taking IELTS soon. Hope you get the score you need!
