Chloe Cheng (Band 8) is a VIP Club member, she joined a few weeks ago and has been using the IELTS Online Prep platform to prepare for the test. Our writing correction team helped Chloe with her writing tasks and she improved her Listening and Reading considerably using the practice tests on our website. Chloe said, “I think the most important thing is to do mock exams as much as possible. I practiced the ones on your website and I went from 7 to 9 in listening and reading.”

Tapan Patel (Band 8) used the book Ace the IELTS and practice tests to prepare. He said, “Your books have helped me a lot, and I will make sure to leave an excellent review, to ensure others use this resource too.”

Ziaad Nuseeb (Band 8) solved many of these practice tests while preparing for the real exam, and Yi-Hsuan Lai (Band 7.5) relied on our writing correction service to improve her essays and reports. Almost all of the winners were subscribed to our daily IELTS emails with the latest questions, model answers, tips and advice.
