If you're aiming for a band 7 in IELTS, you're not alone! I was totally stressed about the requirements at first. One of the best tips I can give is to focus on your writing coherence and grammar. Use clear topic sentences and logical paragraphs.
Another key point is practice. I did tons of practice tests and timed myself to get used to the pressure. Check out some online forums or study groups to discuss answers and get feedback. It really helped me find my weaknesses.
Finally, don’t forget to read academic articles; they can boost your vocabulary and improve your understanding of complex sentence structures.
