How to quickly prepare for an English test
"Of course, it is very important to be sober when you take an exam." - Terry Pratchett
By following our advice and using all the features of the Ultrafluent service in the preparation for IELTS writing, you will quickly build a vast vocabulary and learn how to write English quickly and competently. And here it is important to understand that writing well in English and passing the IELTS test for a high score are not always the same. With the right preparation, you can always train yourself so that you gain a decent score at least in writing, it will not take too much time, but you will not know all of the written language either.
Tests or exams are designed to test your level of English, but they really can't tell you everything. It has always been easier for many students to split English into two separate skills - English for life and English for tests and exams. And they are right, because spoken English does not meet the list of requirements for an IELTS essay, though they are connected.
If you are preparing for the Cambridge A1 exam or any other exam, there is an optimal way to prepare and get the best possible grades. As we said earlier, don't waste time on things that you are unlikely to use. If you are preparing for the exam, focus on practicing on the UltraFluent simulator. Always think about the Pareto efficiency concept: what 20% should I focus on to get 80% of the results I want?
All preparation for exams, starting from the very first day, should consist in passing mock exams. The UltraFluent service provides a wide range of opportunities for passing IELTS writing on a simulator that completely repeats the electronic interface of a real exam. This helps to mentally immerse yourself in the desired state and use all your available knowledge base to assess the degree of your preparedness for a real exam. Those who use the approaches to memorization described on our website quickly navigate what they have learned - it has been tested in practice.
That way, when it comes to the actual exam, you'll sit down and feel comfortable, as if you've done it a dozen times already. Because that's the way it is. In addition, in addition to a keyboard simulator and a tool for training individual parts of an essay with auto-checking, the service has the option of submitting work for proofreading to qualified teachers. They will comment, point out mistakes, tell you in which direction to develop further in order to get your desired scores on the real IELTS.
