Statistics are not recommended for IELTS writing task 2

If a question is about crime, some candidates might write something like this:

According to a recent report from Oxford University, around 60% of prisoners reoffend after being released

Although this looks like an 'academic-style' sentence, it does not meet the IELTS requirements. Here are two reasons why:

• As you don't have access to research in your exam, statistics like these seem 'fake' to examiners.
• Statistics aren't really appropriate for the style of writing that examiners expect. They are expecting an opinion-based essay, not a research-based assignment.

Express your own views without statistics

I haven't worked with these practice tests provided by ieltsmaterial.com
Well, I'll start today.
I won't do the full mock test.
Instead, I'll focus on listening part 1 only

It is not correct to say "most favourite."
"Favourite" already implies the highest preference, so it doesn’t need further emphasis with "most."
Instead, you can just say "favourite" or use an alternative like "absolute favourite" if you want to add emphasis.

❌ This is my most favourite book

British Council on the word count for task 1:
Write 150 words...or A LITTLE OVER

Pauline Cullen:
150-180 words are sufficient for task 1

If someone tells you to write as much as possible (300, 400 words, or even more in task 1), show'em this post so that they can shove their incompetent opinions back where they came from
