Blueprint for 79+

- Fluency is King: In Speaking, never correct yourself. Keep moving. Pauses and hesitations are the biggest score killers.
- Typing Precision: Aim for 40+ WPM with 98% accuracy. Typos in "Write from Dictation" can cost you 20-30 points.
- Structure over Content: For essays and summaries, use our proven templates to ensure you meet all scoring criteria (Content, Form, Grammar).
- Mock Test Marathon: Don't sit the real exam until you've scored your target in at least 3 consecutive official mock tests.
