IELTS exams in Turkey and Saudi Arabia were the same, according to N. and A., who shared the details they remembered. Unfortunately none of them could remember the Reading or the Listening sections, but on the bright side, they did remember the questions in the Writing and Speaking sections. We all thank N. and A. and wish them a great score in their exams, and here are the questions:
