People often ask me what they should do in the final week before an exam.
My advice is that it's probably too late to learn anything new. It's best to review what you have already studied and make sure you "know what you know".
Go through the topics and techniques that you have studied, and make sure that you have learnt from any mistakes you have made. It's too late to worry about what you haven't studied; just focus on what you have.

Dear Simon
I will take IELTS next week. I found out your web site a little bit late. But I hope I will give good news after the exam. By the way, the reason of my investment time and effort in IELTS is manchester university. see you next year there:=)

hello simon,
I am wondering whether this sentence is authentic and academic:
as compared with adults,most students are less self-disciplined.If they are compelled to be absorbed in the academic world.....
thank you for you help and have a good day!

Dear Simon,
i just got the result of the exam.
Listening : 8,5
Reading : 9
Writing : 6
Speaking : 7
Overall : 7,5
I definitely have to thank you and your amazing website!All in all,i am quite disappointed about the writing,especially because i put so much effort in it!
For the reading and listening i honestly didn't prepare because i knew i was strong on them,so I spent days and days on the writing part,over your examples and tips,and i was feeling quite confident.I really don't know,i am so tempted about asking an EOR,but these damn chinese would charge me 100 pounds for that,so i don't think is really worth it.
Anyway,i cannot complain.It's just that i wanted to beat my brother,who took as well 7.5 :) However,the bastard has spent a highschool year in the States,so i consider myself a winner!
Thank you again Simon,
Cheers from China,
Albi
