My failed IELTS tests

Tell us about a time when you tried something (like an exam, or a job application etc.) twice and both times you failed. How did you bounce back from that experience??

The title is a little bit misleading because I didn't take any real IELTS tests, I only take free online sample IELTS reading tests. It's a free online test, right? Then how can I failed? I failed because I put very high expectation since I usually get lower score on real tests. But this completely backfired and cause me to give up as my score fluctuate between 6 and 7.5. And as I slowly losing my sanity, my scores gradually dip, it've even got to a point that I got a 3.

tbh, I haven't got back to do any IELTS tests. I just found a better way to learn English and that place is here, langcorrect. Langcorrect, imho, is the best place to learn English so far and the most enjoyable one too.

My failed IELTS tests

The title is a little bit misleading because I didn't take any real IELTS tests, yet (with yet it sounds better, you may take them in the future), for now I only take free online sample IELTS reading tests.

~~It's a~~They are free online tests, right?

They may sound better, you were taking about free onlie tests in the previous sentence.

Then how canould I failed?

But this completely backfired and caused me to give up as my score fluctuated between 6 and 7.5.

what do you mean by "this"? your expectation or lower grades in real tests? it is not clear?

And as I was slowly losing my sanity, my scores gradually dipped, it~~'ve~~ has even got ~~to a point that I got~~ten (sounds more natural) to a point that I scored (got = repetitive) a 3.

tbh, I haven't gotten back ~~to do any~~on IELTS tests.

I just found a better way to learn English and that is (that=way, not place is) here, langcorrect.

Many thanks for your reply! It was really eye opening to read your experience. I am having similar issues with German. I only had to make small changes. Please watch out for tenses in sentences with connectors! Good luck!

Ironically, I can speak understandable English but I can't get a high score on an IELTS test. I think IELTS test is only for testing purposes, not for learning purposes. This realization is the real reason I gave up on taking IELTS tests. This is only my opinion though :)).
