Alright, I’ve decided to adjust my data grouping slightly. What alternative approach would you suggest for better clarity?

Originally, I wanted to divide the data into the first and second six months, but I think there might be a better way.

Sorry, I was distracted, but here is what I was thinking:

Body 1: Ten Months with Four Test Dates

Body 2: June and December with 5 dates

Since this isn’t an actual Task 1 visual, I don’t think there’s much benefit in completing the entire report. The main focus should be on having a solid introductory paragraph along with a clear overview.

A new conspiracy theory: there is no night time :)

No wonder I don’t feel like sleeping at night 😁

To go vs to study

In English, it's very common to say "to go to [university name]" to indicate that you're a student at that university. In Uzbek, we usually use the word "study" to convey the same meaning. While "study" isn't necessarily incorrect, "go" is more commonly used, particularly in everyday English.

P.S. If you’ve paid attention, one of the first questions asked in your IELTS Speaking exam is: “Do you work or are you a student?” rather than “Do you work or study?”

Okay, so I just found the full clip. It turns out this guy, Darryl Vega, makes these funny skits for TikTok. The entire job interview scene, by the way, is pretty hilarious.
