IELTS difficulty is overhyped

Hi guys,

just came back from the test recently and i want to share my feelings.

I was really nervous yesterday because of this test and resposes based on it by some of you here in this forum.

To be honest i was not preparing at all, i just took 1 mock test daily for about week from all of the parts. Despite that, i really do think that i did better than i thought. Iam expecting mark around 8.

Listening was clear, they really pay attention to "underline" the word or synonym you need to complete. Reading was quite tricky but the time they give you is more than enough to answer everything. Writing was my weakest part, because i always have so much crap on my mind that i lose focus on important things, but it was fairly managable. And speaking... oh god, i was so afraid of it, but there was no need to... The questions you will be asked are completely easy. You do not have to worry about speaking, just get som caffeine in your blood before it, have a peace of mind and prepare to ace it!

To sum up, personally i do not found this test difficult at all if you have atleast some knowledge of english, just be calm, be focused and you will be more than all right!

Good luck everyone. I will add my results here in edit later. :)
