Writing Preparation Strategy
Focus on Task 2 first — it is worth double. Learn the five main essay types and practise writing a full essay in 40 minutes. For Task 1, learn the key vocabulary for describing trends, comparisons, and processes. Aim to write at least two full practice tests per week under timed conditions.
