Hi, how's your exam? Any news? I just want to have some tips and advice regarding GT IELTS. Is it okay if I ask you some clues or tactics? Cause I'm going to have my exam on this coming 4th March. Hoping for your positive feedback. Thank you.

Your overall band score would be the average of the individual band scores. So even if you get, let's say 4.5 in a writing' you can still secure an overall band score 5, provided that you get higher than 5 in other module(s).
Mustafa
Yea surely you can get it. They take out an average of your score to produce your accumulated result.
Kuljit
Hello, I'm going to have the exam in December in GT. I need 5 band score. If I can't do all parts (listening, reading, writing, speaking) equally can I get 5 band score?
