The Writing test takes 60 minutes, so make sure you plan your time accordingly. Most test takers spend approximately 20 minutes on Task 1 and 40 minutes on Task 2. But make sure you leave some time at the end to quickly review your answers and make any necessary changes to your responses.

Cohesive devices help you connect your ideas and help keep your writing responses organised. Use these words and phrases to connect your ideas and help your reader follow your writing.

Some cohesive devices you could use, include: 

  • Furthermore 
  • However 
  • Next 
  • First, second, third 
  • Finally 
  • So  
  • Then 
  • In addition 

Take some time before you take your IELTS test to study and practice using these words, as well as other cohesive devices (linking words). 

Take time in your IELTS preparation to review some sample questions and answers online. You can gain a better understanding of the IELTS test format, the kinds of questions you may be asked and read model answers.
