Academic IELTS gives a lot of people stress. But don't worry, i'm going to give you a lot of information on how to succeed. The test is somewhat tricky in the sense that they want you to do well if only you can avoid traps.

I am, of course, here to help you. This is purely about the test and not registration process.

Do so and you'll do well. IELTS is just Academic and so, they are testing your skills. All sections are so important.

TOEFL and IELTS are easy to pass. IELTS do not test for accent but your academic use of English.

While TOEFL, however, is okay if you're looking forward to demonstrating more of North American English.

So the ball is in your court right now to decide on the particular one to take.

You need solid 10 weeks. You probably have to get down to business now, if you really want to take part in this test.

Pls..how much for registration?

The IELTS itself is quite daunting because of the different sections there and the things that need to be done in order to scrutinize the questions and come of with the right responses.

Lots and lots of people write the test every year and in my own view they all write it for one reason - to pass (Like we don't know obviously). Lol. But many still fail despite that. Most of the online materials are not tailor made for Nigerians. They are meant for Pakistanis, Chinese and so on. They do not even have a definite curriculum or study plan of an academic setting. They are all bits and scraps here and there which does not provide a definite course to make people (Nigerians) break the score bank.

My two cents here is that you get a study center and prepare. Lectures costs a lot of money so you should be ready to do a little spending. Also, invest in materials. And that is the catch. Many of these materials too are half baked. They just throw them out there. So, you need to "Shine your eyes" .

Doing well on this test typically has to do with taking the right course.... And you might need to invest in that, so that your time and resources don't go to waste.
