I am very limited on my time for a document which needs to be proofread. Can I still submit it?Yes absolutely. Documents can be proofread within 72 hours.
-
Do I need to have a specific number of lessons to be ready for the IELTS test?No, your progress depends on a variety of factors, such as how strong your reading and listening skills are at the time of taking lessons, how easy or challenging it is to improve in a particular skill, what your vocabulary knowledge is like for both writing and speaking, among other aspects.
-
How long will it take me to improve my score?This depends on whether you are familiar with IELTS, and how you are performing in all skills at the time of taking lessons. It also depends on how you respond to certain skills – you may find reading easy to develop, but struggle with speaking. Therefore, your reading skills may improve a little faster than your speaking skills, which will take that bit more work to develop.
