If you are wondering how these people were able to achieve such wonderful results, you’re not alone – many of our readers email us and ask this question. This is why we always contact the winners and ask for their tips and advice for other test takers. Anything they share we post on IELTS-Blog.com, so everyone can use the same technique and get a better score in their own exam this month.
I’m pleased to tell you that some of the winners used our IELTS materials and services to prepare for the exam: Michael Effiong used Ace the IELTS book, Tinashe Gimani used our practice tests, and Natalie Cohen used our Writing Correction service.
Meanwhile, we hope to hear from the other winners the stories of how they prepared and studied, and what helped them achieve success in IELTS.
