I regularly read articles on British & US news sites, besides HBR.org. My need, therefore, was to refresh the phrases and vocabulary that I had read earlier. Sitting with a dictionary to understand meanings and its correct usage helped. Rather than writing complex, I prefer to write in a way tha...

Well, these were the things that I tried this time for the writing test (last attempt I had a 7.0), and they worked :) I wrote a couple of practice essays (but that was more to get some practice to write fast).

I recently got my GT score and did L 9.0, R 8.5, W 8.0, S 8.5. In case anyone needs, I will be happy to help. However, since I do a full time job, weekends may be the only possible option.

Hi Ariel,
The Australian High commission reverted that they can not consider scores from two different tests. The scores have to be on the same test. So, I had to take the test again. All the best!

Finally, I took the IELTS again and this time the scores came out better - L 9.0, R 8.5, W 8.0, S 8.5.
Happy that I have an 8 in each, as this was important to get the required points.

Going through this site and tips from the participants has helped a lot. Thanks everyone for your help!
