Some people think that to be successful you need to get in a University education, whereas others say it is not true. Discuss both ideas and give your opinion.

It is generally argued that graduates are more successful in life than non-graduates, while some believe that it is not obvious. In my opinion, it is not necessary to study

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
