Ama’s tips for improving Speaking scores

She loved everything she learned about excelling in front of the Examiner.

The 3 Keys Speaking module taught her what the Examiner is looking for.

This gave her confidence because she knew what was expected and what to say.

Confidence makes all the difference!

It’s extremely difficult to remember the great vocabulary, phrasal verbs etc. you have been learning if you lack confidence and are nervous.

How the anti-anxiety module helped Ama

3 Keys IELTS has an anti-anxiety module.

In it, Lindsay shares her expertise about how to control and use the energy that comes with anxiety.

Reviewing this module right before the Speaking exam helped boost Ama’s confidence.

She feels this greatly improved her performance on the exam.

This is evidenced by her amazing score of 7.5!

She was able to be comfortable and relaxed, which helped her speak natively and show her fluency.

Writing scores improved from 5.5 to 6.5

Ama had taken the IELTS exam previously and scored 5.5 and 6 on writing.

This was really hurting her score!

Even though she scored 9 on reading, that 5.5 pulled down her overall score.

She realized she needed strategies to improve her writing score.

With the 3 Keys IELTS strategies, she was able to increase her Writing score a full band point.

Ama’s Tips for Writing Task 1

She took the academic IELTS exam.

Ama found the module on Writing Task 1 especially helpful.

This is a very unique type of writing that is difficult to prepare for.

You need strategies.

She learned vocabulary to describe numbers on the charts and graphs.

In addition, the templates helped her to organize the essays.

She felt this knowledge would be useful even after IELTS.

The module helped her feel that she knew how to write a high-scoring Task 1 essay.

On test day, she had a Change Over Time essay and knew exactly how to write it.

Advice for controlling breathing

Often, when taking an exam, your heart will be beating very fast.

It’s a stressful, nerve-wracking environment.

Ama suggests to take a deep breath before each exam.

Give yourself a confidence boost.

Take a moment to meditate and have a ‘moment of zen.’

This will calm you and help you control your breathing and stress level.

Take a moment to recognize how much you’ve accomplished and acknowledge that you’re ready!
