It's kind of boring, but I have to describe my background in order to establish this experiment's starting point.

So. I'm 24 years old (for another month). I'm BSc in computer science and applied math (graduated from Lomonosov MSU) and now I'm doing my master degree in St. Petersburg State University (yeah, I'm in Russia). But I was born in Tashkent ( Read more... )

I'll cover it in the next post - I've discovered several opportunities (free and paid).

if I am not mistaken TOEFL 100 is about 7.5 IELTS? Well, yes, I think you can do that, just some practice is needed.

Not exatly, I've found several comparison tables for IELTS and TOEFL. 100 on TOEFL iBT is equal to 7 on IELTS and it is not fair, because TOEFL is much more difficult. For example, my friend passed her IELTS recently, she got 9 on reading, 8.5 on listening, 6 on speaking and 6 on writing, and her band score is 7.5 which is considered as a relatively high level. However it is obvious that it is not a good level for graduate student.
Even by means of mathematics 100 iBT should be equal at least to 7.5 or higher.
