IELTS is not a Test which will require you to be an Expert in the Language, you'd need to learn how to tackle the test and time it well, 7.5 is doable provided you put in the required hours and understand how the test is designed and how you must attempt it, the test itself is designed to know if you can really communicate in the real-world scenarios. You'd ideally need around 30-40 hours of preparation and ofcourse a lot of mock tests will help determining your readiness for the real test, Good Luck ! read less

Depending on your English proficiency, the coaching time frame will vary. If it's just a matter of brushing up and understanding the structure of the paper a 40 hour course is enough. But , if you additionally need to brush up or improve your English skills, a longer time period may be required.

Hi, I have prepared for 15 days and gave my exam! I got total band score 8. I just practiced some test papers and did a lot of speaking. Speaking is actually critical because it can either increase your overall band score or decrease it.

Your question itself is very confusing and I will explain why. First, it depends on the student. Second, the background. Third, an independent assessment, as far as Speaking and Writing is concerned. Reading and Listening modules are quantitative, so you can judge for yourself. However, the other two module, Speaking, and Writing does have some very well defined parameters, yet, i dare say, it would be impossible for 10 examiners to assess a student and come to the same conclusion, say 6.5 or 7 or maybe between 7.5 and 8.If your aim is to get a high band say. 7 and above, you must find a guide, a trainer, preferably ONLINE. read less
