Other Americans Just Twiddling Their Thumbs...

and waiting for IELTS to be offered? CELPIP is offered in California, but completely sold out through the rest of the year in California. What are you doing to cope?

I gave my IELTS in July in Oregon. Flew out from Wisconsin to give the test. Go here: https://www.ieltsusatest.org/IELTS and go thorugh the states. I see dates available for Arkansas and Kansas. Don't know how long they'll be available.

Try to go through the official practice tests instead of the tests you find on YouTube. Use YouTube to learn tips on each section and you should be good. Speaking should be easy, but Writing is annoying. Reading and Listening are easy if you pay attention in the exam. If a question seems to have more than one possible answer (this happens in Reading), try to fit all possible answers into the question and see which one makes most sense logically and grammatically. That'll usually be the correct answer. Keep an eye out for synonyms in such questions. Good luck!
