How to Ace the IELTS Exam with TOTAL Confidence

I know how it feels going to the IELTS test hoping to pass this time, and at the end have the feeling it didn’t go well!

Today, I help other IELTS Students to overcome the fears, the anxiety, to increase your confidence so you don’t need to keep repeating the exam over and over again until you get the score you aspire.

How long it took to ace the IELTS exam

Back in 2009, I moved from Portugal to Australia for an overseas experience. Improving English was my number 1 priority. I thought at that time if I immersed in the culture it would be more effective, and indeed it was!

You know that moving to another country either to learn English, to work, to immigrate, or to study, if English is not your native language you need to prove your English proficiency, right?

And IELTS is the most popular exam you can take.

I repeated the IELTS exam 4 times until I got the score I needed. I know the feelings, the anxiety and stress that comes over you before, during and after the exam.

I had always taken short IELTS preparation courses to be better prepared, and it helped me, but the nervousness was still there. In fact, it was really obvious on my third attempt.

Let me tell you about my third attempt.

After completing the first 3 tasks, yet still feeling a little bit anxious, there I was waiting for the last part. Speaking was always the easiest task for me, where I was most comfortable.

I love speaking, I always have something to share, and in this task the goal is to assess your level of communication: if you understand the question, your answers are clear, and so on.

I simply froze. My stress centre was activated and when this happens it is very difficult to think, to come up with ideas.

If I had taken a few deep breaths, I am sure I would recover my ability to think again. But you know, I wasn’t expecting that. Who does?

The funny thing was to stay in front to the examiner looking at each other waiting for the minutes to pass. It was a fiasco.

Well, I don’t wish this to anyone!

Use your own MIND to ace the IELTS exam

Some people find passing the IELTS exam easier than others. For those who lack confidence, feel anxious, stress, have repeated the exam many times I want to say that you can overcome these fears, beliefs, self-doubts that are on your way to get the score you so desperately need.

So, why would you want to keep yourself in this loop? There is no better moment than now to use your own MIND power to change the course of your future.

Many students have approached me to be their IELTS tutor. It is not my purpose to become an IELTS teacher.

I call this the “missing piece” for those who are struggling to get the score they so much aspire.

This missing piece consists in bringing neuroscience into practice, in this case help you to pass the IELST exam with ease.

You see, you can learn new skills, install new beliefs, make your mind work for you and not against you. And all this because the brain has the ability to change its connections and behaviour in response to new information, motivation and so on. This phenomenon is known as Neuroplasticity.

First, let me share 3 things you need to know about your mind. It:

The process begins with you filling a form where you share information regarding your struggles when you’re under exam pressure.

Then, I prepare a recording for you to listen based on your information and results you want to achieve.

This is done by giving the right instructions, so your mind understands what you want it to do. Every time you listen to the recording, you’re reinforcing the new neural pathway you have created.
