Some people contacted me by Whatsapp messenger, asking me if I could help them prepare their IELTS test that they would take soon. When I asked them how soon the test was, they said "next week" or "this Saturday" or "tomorrow". At first I had a positive thinking about them. They must have studied hard before so that they just needed a few sessions to "brush up" their memories. However, most of the time I was wrong; they had not prepared before; they had not taken an IELTS preparation course before; and to make it worse, some of them did not know what IELTS test looked like. When I asked them why they had not taken a course before, most of them said that they had not had any time, but then they had to take the test as an IELTS certificate with good scores became one of the requirements for their jobs or educations.
Well, maybe this is my focus: helping people with limited time to prepare for their IELTS tests.
Of course it is not easy to help them. With very limited time and number of sessions, I have to help them understand and master the test format, help them do the practice tests, correct their homework, remind them of everyday practices and encourage them to be self confident. Am I always successful? No, not always. Some students succeed; some others cannot.
Again, there are some factors that influence someone's success in an IELTS test. First, the student's English background. When their English has been in the intermediate level or higher, it will be easier for the student to understand what to do. Second, the target. If the target is reasonable. For example, someone who is in the intermediate level wants to reach the score of 6 will have more chances to reach the score that someone else whose language level is lower. Third, the student's commitment. If they are serious to spare enough time and to practise much, there is a possibility that he will score higher or at least reach his target.Last but not least, self confidence is one of the most important factor. You have it, and you will break a leg.
