We get a lot of questions in our private Facebook group.  There are over 30,000 people in it and we answer questions every day.  You can join and speak to IELTS examiners anytime; it’s free.

So, we got this question from one of the members in the group

“What are some effective methods for preparing for the IELTS Writing Task 1 and Task 2?” 

and we left this to one of the IELTS writing examiners that works with us to explain the quickest way.

I am going to save you hours and hours of your life. Seriously. If you are going to IELTS and you need a specific score to move on with your life, and you are worried about IELTS writing, here is what you can do.

1. Contact http://www.upmyielts.com/contact
2. They will send you a full IELTS writing to try.
3. Do the test under exam conditions and send it back to them.
4. An IELTS writing examiner will assess and correct your writing.
5. They will also show you what you need to do to get higher marks.
6. Read the feedback. Are you happy with the result? Great. No? Then you need to use the feedback to work on your writing.
7. When you get the score you need, book a test.
8. Do the exam, get what you need and move on with your life.

Now, this is the quickest way. How much do you value your time? If you are going to watch hours and hours of YouTube videos all telling you to do different things, or watch videos by people that have no idea about IELTS, then go for it. Spend months and months going round in circles.

Good luck whichever you decide to do though.
