I studied it for 72 days, for around 3 hours a day.
No, I did not attend any class. Don't waste your time and money.
However, I wrote seven essays and tested with an IELTS teacher.
I'm busy now. That's why I didn't post my experience here.
I will share my experience in depth after this. But in the meantime.

Writing
First and foremost, I need to know my writing level. Therefore, I wrote two essays and sent them to IELTS teachers.
Also, I took several free online tests to figure out my level.
Then I focused on my mistakes and tried to improve them daily. I started writing a day journal.
I started this thread to practice writing and the same time, help you guys. but not successful here. Therefore I went to Reddit.
Also, I did practice some touch typing techniques to improve my typing speed.
Actually, this is a very brief summary of what I did. I will talk about this in depth later.

PS: I did computer-based IELTS and had the best experience with the British council Colombo.
