Hello All,
My name is Sachin from Bangalore and I am very new to this forum. I had already taken IELTS but I must admit that I failed in almost all the sections :( .. I made a terrible mistake by not following this forum at frequent times, perhaps I should say that I was new to IELTS. But now I would like to talk to you all and gather information. I have registered IELTS again, my exam date is Apr 24 and I badly need to score 7 in all sections. With all your experience, please let me know how I can score 7 in all... I know very well that i'm bad in writing but I would like to improve it in order to achieve band score of 7.

Thanks,
Sachin

What were your scores last time for each section, if you want to say publically? Thank you.

First of all it is quite difficult sometimes for learners to get 7 in each section, although some do manage it.

Listening - keep practising even if 7.5 - the next exam might be more difficult.
Reading - try to do one exam a day for example and see if your grade starts improving - if not, you need extra strategies.
Speaking - get correction from a teacher and also speak and record your voice and other techniques such as practising speaking exam questions etc..
Writing - practise exams and get feedback from a teacher - be careful of handwriting and grammar + vocabulary complexity etc..

Thank you for your response. I have difficulty in the Reading section, especially with Yes,No,NotGiven or True,False,NotGiven. What is the trick to identify the answer when it comes to this in particular

I normally teach the speaking and writing, however Larry from this site has some tips and may know more than me about it: "http://ieltsbootcamp.com/ielts-reading-tips".
