I took IELTS{International English Language Testing System) last week and its hard for me to reach a score of 7 in all categories like speaking, listening, writing and speaking. Im planning to apply in Australia or London but they required academic module with score of 7 in all categories. I got only 6.5 and its very expensive. Are there any review center that guarantee passing rate of 7? I'm very weak in reading. What are the techniques? Please share

Good luck jackie. mylot will also help you be able to be good in writing and also speaking because you are speaking in your mind before you write.

Jackie, I do not know anything about this because it is beyond my area of expertise. I will say, however, that being active here at MyLot seems to improve the language for many users. I would say this is a good step for you and it is free to participate. In fact, you will earn a little bit of money while you are learning. Do select English speaking friends on the site so that you will see the language written well. I hope you achieve your goals.
