you don't have to prepare, just show up and take the test and wish for the best

On a serious note, watch a lot of movies (excluding porn cuz there's not a whole lot of plot in it) should help

Recommend series: Sherlock (BBC One)

Then I don't think you even need to revise. But if you really want something then buy some Cambridge's Examination papers and do all of them.

1 year is more than enough for you, especially when you have skill in reading and listening. I found out listening and speaking are the most time-consuming if you want to perfect them. With your current English skill (base on your TOEIC point), you can get 5.5 - 6.0 with no big trouble. All you have to do is just take some good materials and study about the IELTS. Have fun studying and good luck with your exam

Hi all, I would need some advice here. Last year, I achieved 870 TOEIC score, now I'm planning to get IELTS certificate. Is it possible for me to get 6.5 or 7.0 with such background?

Depends on how intensive you try. The gist is familiarising yourself with the test format. It would probably take you longer to polish your writing skills. Then push yourself to use as much English as possible, by doing a lot of reading, keeping a writing journal, watching movies etc. These help heaps but also require your commitment. Good luck

TOEIC is not the same as IELTS, or should I say the former is far easier than the latter. Because IELTS is more academic, so you must practice to get used to it. You should read the book called IELTS target band 7, in which there are a lot of tips and methods for you to do IELTS test, this book is quite useful and it could help you save time. Anyway, practice makes perfect, only tips and methods are not enough, you have to master your skills if you want to get your goal. A book for IELTS is also a good book to get used to IELTS format, you should buy it

well in a nutshell: read, write, listen, speak a lot. read news article, write essays on certain topics and ask for comments (here maybe), listen to TV (with sub but don't just read sub, TRY to listen), speak to foreign people or to your mirrored self about a topic

btw I thought GLNN was dead until I came here
