The following are few tips that will certainly help you in performing better in IELTS Writing.

Practice: This is absolutely essential. Before booking a date for IELTS, see that you have enough time for preparation. Prepare a proper schedule so that you can give yourself good practice. Practice writing both on known as well as unknown topics. Check out for the topics that are often asked in the IELTS. Keep yourself abreast of the current topics.

Self Checking: Monitor yourself properly when practicing IELTS Writing. Time management is very important as each module of the IELTS is timed strictly. So, when practicing IELTS Writing, limit your time to 17 to 18 minutes for Task 1 and 37 to 38 minutes for Task 2. Never go beyond that even if you are unable to complete the writing. This will create a type of discipline in you, and when you practice for the next time, you will take utmost care to complete the task in time.

Develop Good Vocabulary: The only module in the IELTS where your word power (vocabulary) is tested is IELTS Writing. So, you can easily impress the examiner with good vocabulary. Hence develop good vocabulary. Don’t repeat the words very often in your essays, use synonyms if necessary.
Make your position clear on the given topic: When attempting IELTS Writing, you will need to think much less on Task 1 when compared to Task 2 as you will be writing on the given information or data in the task 1. But, in case of Task 2, you will be writing either on a discussion topic or on an argument topic. So, you have to make yourself clear about the question asked. If you are asked to write an argument essay, make your position clear on the given topic before beginning the essay. Remember that there is no compulsion to stick to the opinion mentioned in the question. You can either agree or disagree to it, but whatever you write, it has to be done sensibly and logically right. Giving examples to support your opinion is the best way of expressing your ideas, and such an essay will be treated with great respect and will fetch your good score.

Use simple English: The best way to minimize errors in IELTS Writing is to use simple English. Candidates often think that complicated language with great diction will score high. But, in this way you will only increase the number of errors. Your sentence structuring will be flawless and your expression will be more vivid if you use simple English. Added to these, writing in simple English is much easier than complicated one.
