Congratulations to the winners! You’ve done an amazing job, and a celebration is in order. To make this a day to remember we are sending your certificates of achievement to your emails, and your IELTS results will be displayed in the IELTS-Blog hall of fame.

I am sure everyone wants to know – what is the secret of such success? All we know at the moment is that some people used the book Target Band 7 to prepare (Jennifer Robinson, Christoph Rommel, Joyce NG), or Ace the IELTS (Dhara Pankaj Parekh).

But we are definitely looking forward to hearing from the winners their stories of how they studied, and what helped them achieve success in IELTS. Anything they wish to share will be posted on IELTS-Blog without delay, so everyone can use the same technique and get a better score in their own exam this month.

P.S. IELTS results competition runs every month, and everyone is welcome to participate. Learn how to enroll here.

Today I am proud to announce the winners of our IELTS results competition. 9 hard-working IELTS candidates from 5 different countries have won, with scores ranging from Band 9 to Band 7.5.

We should really find out how these lovely people were able to score so well. All we know at the moment is that Saeed Ali (who got Band 8 ) was studying by the book “Target Band 7”, and Sajjad Hussain (who got Band 8.5 ) was using the book “Ace the IELTS” in his preparation. But we definitely need to know more!

I look forward to hearing from the winners their stories of how they prepared and studied, and what helped them achieve success in IELTS. Anything they wish to share will be posted on IELTS-Blog without delay, so everyone can use the same technique and get a better score in their own exam this month.
