More tips to pass IELTS

Okay, you can't really pass or fail IELTS (the test gives you a band score, not a pass/fail score). But there are some tips to get the best possible score.

So, some tips for your IELTS test:

We regularly write easy tips in our IELTS News and Articles. Most of these short, easy blog posts give you an insight into the IELTS test with some tips on getting the score you need for migration, work or study. For example, our Grammar 101 series explains the difference between commonly confused words: believe vs belief or elude vs allude When you start looking, you’ll find a lot of these words that are spelled the same, but have different meanings. They’re called homophones, homographs or homonyms.

Other articles help you with your general English language skills. Do you know how to pronounce “debut?” Our most visited post 50 most commonly mispronounced words provides a good start to help you articulate and enunciate words correctly. We also have some quick guides on understanding verb tenses or how to improve your vocabulary and spelling.

If you are new to IELTS, you can also have a look at some of the pages that explain the test. For example, learn about the IELTS test: test types, delivery formats, and sections. Should you do IELTS Academic or General Training? Or, what test can you take when you look to migrate to New Zealand?

Also, you can download the IELTS by IDP app to gain app-exclusive access to IELTS preparation courses, such as a free trial to an IELTS short course by E2 Language. With the app, you can also book your test, practice with quizzes and other preparation content, and even check your results.
