During IELTS preparation period, which skill do you find most challenging?
Is it writing, speaking, reading, or listening?
9 answers from our tutors
it should be writing cause its the last thing we decide to learn
If you have the suitable tutor, no skill is going to be too challenging for you; but generally speaking, I would say listening could be a little bit harder for students who had put all their effort and time practicing production skills (speaking and writing)

That depends on the questions they post. Sometimes writing and speaking tests are the easy ones and the listening part is the difficult one. My advice is before taking the actual IELTS is to constantly practice your listening skills and constantly attend simulations.
It's actually depends to the students but as far as ,I remember mostly they are having trouble in speaking and writing.
The speaking is the most challenging because of pronunciation. One can be able to read a sentence or a word but when it comes to pronouncing it or speaking it out,it becomes a bit difficult.
I think it really depends with each candidate. But with the students I’ve tutored, they seemed to have challenges with writing and reading.
The IELTS candidates I have taught, usually struggle most with the listening section. I think this is the most common issue, a lot of this comes from the type of English course they studied in the past.
@Kabiwa what about speaking? you need vocab an grammar there as well.
The writing part since you have to master vocabulary and grammar skills
