IELTS Grammar: verbs with 'exam'

 A lot of students write to me saying "I gave the IELTS test yesterday". Please note that "give an exam" is not correct.

Don't say:
- I gave an exam.
- I gave the IELTS test.

Do say:
- I took the IELTS exam/test.
- I passed the exam. (i.e. you were successful)

In other words, use "take" not "give".
