I'd like to know about some good Youtube channels or other websites, or any online sources which can offer good material for preparing for the IELTS exam. I'd appreciate if you could recommend which ones are good for each of the 4 modules of the IELTS exam.

1. I would recommend you to first go through the official guidelines.
https://takeielts.britishcouncil.org/take-ielts/prepare
Take practice tests on this website, and attend as many webinars as possible.

2. For more rigorous practice, this is a great resource.
https://www.english-exam.org/IELTS/
Writing part in this website is especially good. They provide you with many samples (solutions) which you can use to improve your answers.

3. Practice as much as you can.

4. Take the computer-based exam, it's highly recommended over the written exam. Use the following website to practice computer-based test:

Thanks for your response.

I noticed in your signature that you have a good IELTS score! Did you also take the computer-based test? Also, how did you practice writing and speaking?

Yes, I took the computer-based test.

For writing, I used sample questions from the same that website I mentioned above.
https://www.english-exam.org/IELTS/general_writing_samples_task_1/
I solved some of these questions on my own and then compared them with the answers given there. It gives you a really good idea of what to expect and how much to write. Also, there are some very valuable tips given on top of each writing sample. They are quite handy, be sure to go through them.

For the speaking part, you just have to know the pattern of the exam. It is available on all the resources that I mentioned earlier. You can choose some sample questions from the websites above and practice answering them in front of a mirror or with a friend. Try to improve your vocabulary and speak English as much as you can in daily life. It will give you confidence to speak when you appear in the actual test.
