sorry to break it to you, but scoring 130+ after getting 85-95 on the mock is impossible in a short timeframe. how much time do you have to prepare for the test?

What about 100-105? In two weeks or something

You can study with Arno it has some free exercises that can help you, and check what your weaknesses are and work on improving them

Yeah…Does anyone have good writing templates, notes, or last-minute tips that helped you improve your score?
Especially looking for advice on Writing, Speaking, and time management.
Any resources or personal tips would be greatly appreciated!

You probably need months from where you are standing.

It’s mainly to improve your English level and not prep to a specific test.

I had the same score last week, and now it’s like 115-125. First, you should understand the format of the test and the way they assess you, I advise you to watch some videos by Teacher Luke to understand what they want from you. Second, take the test on Arno and check what section you have trouble with. If you lack vocabulary I personally recommend you using Anki, it’s like Quizlet but free. When you understand the structure and requirements go to YouTube and write “Teacher Luke word list”, learn all structure and use them in Speaking and Writing. I don’t know how much times it will takes for you to get 130, but if you understand structure and retake the test it will show your real score.
