It's complete with audio recordings and sample questions.
I practiced answering as many sample questions from various years as I could.
Since, I was sure my Centre uses headphones for the listening test, I practiced with headphones too.

Wish you success on your next attempt.

Tips from Ieltsliz helped me a great deal.
I watched her videos on YouTube and read her blog.
I found the video on True, False and Not Given especially helpful. As questions of that nature are the easiest to fail, the video contains valuable tips on how to answer such questions.

In addition, a tip that came very handy during my test was :
Don't try to read the entire passage before answering the questions, the time will be insufficient. Instead, skim through for a few minutes to get the general overview and then go straight to the questions. After reading a question, use the key word(s) from the question to locate the answer from the passage.
It is also important not to try to understand everything in the passage, your duty is only to find the answers.

Repeated practice helped me perfect this technique.

Is your registration number the same as Test Report Form number? I will be glad for your response because I am having issue in collecting by TRF

I guess so.

I wrote my test on 16th September, 2017 and the result supposed to be available on 29th September, 2017. When I checked my result, what I have been seeing is NO RESULT
What could have been responsible for this?

Hello great guys
Please I registered for IELTS myself and get an email confirmation. I received every details to pay and I complied with it. I saw pay through bank transfer and I transferred the money to their account at standard chartered directly which I received alert. But I have not heard of any confirmation from them. Hope I have not wasted 68k just like that.
Please need your advice great mind

Please what eventually happened with this issue, i have same issue now. thanks

Long anticipated IELTS result out.First attempt
R-9
L-8.5
W-7

It will be unfair if I fail to share my story as I have gained a lot from this forum.
1.Make sure you have someone that have written IELTS,whether they pass or not, they have important tips that can give the extra marks you need.
2.Belong to a good online IELTS forum.
3.IELTS is a serious exam, your preparation must be detailed. Going through this thread from page 1 to 50 will really help.
4.Concerning the common question about the duration of preparation,it varies. But to be candid,for the average student expecting a minimum score of 7 and above in all sections, you need a minimum of two weeks preparation which will barely be enough.To be on the safe side, pls prepare for minimum of a month.
5.SPEAKING:This is a tricky one, the best way to prepare is to find a speaking partner that will critique your speaking.
6.READING:This is the best place to score cheap marks as all the answers you need are supplied already. All you have to do is practice untill you keep scoring 39/40 consistently.Initially,I was stuck at 36/40 untill I learnt how to tackle my weaknesses.There are some question types that gives people problems, what I did was to trace my score pattern in both reading and listening and as expected I discovered I lost more marks in particular segments,so I searched online for how best to tackle this type of questions:
For T/F/NG,if you have issues with this, pls go and download IELTS LIZ video on it and do the exercises on T/F/NG on IELTS LIZ, you will have testimonies.
For summary of paragraphs, after trying many methods, I discovered the method that suits me is to read each paragraph then look at the options to pick the appropriate heading.
For which of the following paragraph contains the following information, I discovered the best method for me is to read the whole essay before answering the questions.
For those that scored 8.5 and above in reading,I spoke with some of them,one thing common to all of them is that they can finish reading any essay within 7 minutes maximum and answer the questions in another 5-7 minutes.I practiced untill I could achieve this.In my exam, I had 26 minutes left when I got to the third essay.
LISTENING:this is another section you can score 8 and above.
When I analyzed my result patterns during my practice, I noticed section 3 was where I usually lose more marks.Guess what is peculiar to section 3?There are multiple speakers and the questions are MCQs so by the time am still struggling to answer one question, the speakers would have moved three questions ahead, what I did to solve this was to read at least a question ahead so that by the time I can't find answer to a particular question, I wouldn't miss the next question and immediately the speakers moves to the next question, I move with them.
I also hate maps, unfortunately I got a map in my listening, am sure that's what accounted for my 8.5 rather than 9.Still yet to find a solution.
Writing:its adviseable to start with task 2 on exam day, it carries double the mark of task 1.

BONUS:For those about to start prep for IELTS, I strongly recommend EDX, it a free IELTS online tutorial organized by University of Queensland Australia, am still shocked that people don't know about it yet. To get the best out of the tutorial go to www.edx.com using google chrome or download their app.
My recommendations:
Writing - Ryan task 2
Simon task 1
Speaking - Makkar

Finally,pray well.

From people's experience on this thread, it is better to pay by bank draft. The solution is to go to the nearest british council office to complain
