•Write all your answers in the question sheet, you've got an additional 10minutes to transfer them into the answer sheet.
•Write them in capital letters, e get why.
Dear UKRNIJN,
HERE ARE LAST MINUTE TIPS I'VE COMPILED SPECIALLY FOR YOU BEFORE WRITING THAT IELTS ON SATURDAY.
For the listening:
•Ensure your headset is well connected and audible enough before the starting time.
•Concentration is key, try all means not to lose focus.
•Write all your answers in the question sheet, you've got an additional 10minutes to transfer them into the answer sheet.
•Write them in capital letters, e get why.
This is the toughest aspect for me but I trashed it.
•Use the formula 15:25:20
I will explain how it works
•Always start with passage 1, it is the simplest,spend ATMOST 15minutes to answer it.
Go to passage 3,spend 25minutes here cos It is the simplest/complex.
•In my next tweet, I'll be teaching you a strategy that I later used to trash the reading aspect.
It was the simplest for me. I had as high as 7.5.
•Start with task 1, it's the easiest and has the lowest mark.
•The most important aspect is your 1st (Introduction) and 2nd paragraphs (Overview)
•For the overview, you can't do this without first studying the given table/Graph. Know the trends and exceptions, this is the key to a good task 1.
•Try not to write above 180 words.
•Task 2, more complex and has times 2 of the score for task 1
•Spend 40 minutes here
•Be open-minded, brainstorm and jot those ideas down.
•Never you start a paragraph without your connecting words.
•Try not to exceed 280 words
Speaking:
•Be confident
•Be audible
In all, I'll recommend IELTS Makkar for this. You can DM to get it.
•If possible, go and know your exam centre on Friday to avoid difficulty in locating the centre on the Saturday.
•Avoid rings, wristwatches, hand bands and glasses that are not recommended, you won't be allowed into the hall with them.
•Have a sound sleep before leaving for the exam, your brain needs rest to function optimally.

We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.
Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)
It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.
Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
As a dean of a major academic institution, I could not have said this. But I will now. Requiring such statements in applications for appointments and promotions is an affront to academic freedom, and diminishes the true value of diversity, equity of inclusion by trivializing it. https://t.co/NfcI5VLODi
