IELTS Results competition winners in August 2023

“Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.”

This was famously said by Pele, a legendary football player, 3 times World Cup winner and probably the best-paid athlete of his time. Pele knew what he was talking about, and the 12 people whose success we are celebrating today would agree with him 100%!

They worked hard and didn’t give up. They sacrificed freedom and sleep to study. And that is why they got these amazing results!

Let’s give a very warm welcome to …

How did they score so well?

You would have noticed that our winners come from all over the world – we have people from India, Ghana, Bangladesh, Iran, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. They speak 6 different languages, some of them took the Academic IELTS while others took General Training, some needed an IELTS score for work visa, others to study overseas.

But they all had something in common, something that helped them achieve these wonderful results. Can you guess what it was?

They were using IELTS-Blog.com to prepare for their tests. They subscribed to our daily updates and followed advice we are sending out daily, to keep everyone motivated, engaged, accountable and hard at work.

Here is what some of them said:

Suren Berry, the IELTS trainer at Berry IELTS institute in Punjab, India said,

“Writing you to share some amazing results of my students. It goes without saying that your contribution to these coveted achievements is immense. It’s a huge honor for me and my students [to get their results published], since all the students were getting regular updates from your esteemed IELTS-Blog.com.”

Raj Vinit said,

“I got my required score. Now I can become a Registered Nurse in the UK. Thanking you because I followed your instructions; I regularly read the emails [you sent me] and practiced different Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking questions and answers.”

We would love to hear from more winners, because when you share your stories and tell us how you studied, you are helping thousands of test takers, preparing for their exams right now.

Goodness got Band 8 in IELTS while 8 months pregnant, doing these simple steps

IELTS High Scorer's Advice Band 8 Tips July 2023

Hi everyone, this is Simone and today I would like you to meet someone special.

Goodness Okeke is a proud Nigerian woman, a native Igbo speaker, a new mum to a 5-week-old baby, AND a very successful IELTS test taker.

I was delighted to hear about her success when Goodness sent her IELTS score and asked to participate in our monthly IELTS results competition. Not only did she score Band 8.0 overall, but also got a Band 8.5 in Reading and an amazing 9 in Listening!

In her winner’s interview Goodness shared the simple steps she took to prepare for the test that ensured her success:

“My advice to everyone out there preparing for IELTS exam is first to understand that to pass the exam, you need to use the right resources. Not everything online is genuine. Most are targeted to extort money from test takers. I used resources from Simone Braverman and I am glad I did.

For Listening, you must avoid distraction at all cost. You must listen attentively not just for answers, but for every word.

For Reading, time management is very, very important, hence it is advisable to use skimming and scanning techniques to save time whenever you can. Know the question types these techniques can be used for and practice in applying them as much as you can.

For Writing, first you need to understand what you are expected to write. Don’t just rush into writing. Take your time to plan and prepare what to write. Writing without preparation often leads to lots of error. The examiner is looking out for these errors. Write legibly and ensure you write above the word limit.

For Speaking, practice different IELTS Speaking topics every day and while doing so record yourself, then listen to the recording, do some corrections and speak again.

Above all, you must not give up. Keep pushing until you get desired score!”

Thank you so much Goodness for taking the time to help everyone, and we wish you and your young family all the very best!
