Hi Mark,

Nice to meet you. Have you taken the IELTS before? If so, what was your band? What is the target band for the 7th?

I hope this community proves helpful.

Its my very first time and doing it to gain admission and student visa into Australia

[Ryan]

So does this mean you need at least band 7 in each skill?

[matuatua]

Don't really know Ryan Thats why I'm here to seek for advice and learn from your vast experience

[matuatua]

Ryan most respectfully how do I start, which module should I start with first and foremost . is it the Reading, Writing , Listening or the Speaking module

Hi Matuatua,

I wrote an article detailing what I think is an effectively approach to IELTS prep. You can read it here: http://ieltsielts.com/more/study-plans/

I think the first thing to do is get a feeling for where your current level is. When you have this info, creating a time-sensitive study plan to get to your target band becomes much easier. It also allows you to focus on your weak skills.
