2. Hi Meesh,

   I can actually recommend a good book (which I wrote especially for people to prepare in as little as 3 weeks). Have a look at Target band 7 here, you can download a free trial version and decide whether you like it or not. People are telling me it does wonders for their IELTS score.

   Cheers,
   Simone

4. Hi,

   Could someone tell me how useful will be my TOEFL study for taking IELTS? Should I take full course of study or I may skip some parts?

6. Really appreciate all the great iellts information. Thanks.

7. I really wanted to comment on the post about the dangers of relying on internet information. As fabulous as it is (“the world’s biggest library at our fingertips”), it’s difficult to know if some item you’ve found is the current best understanding on the topic. You cant go by the copyright date at the bottom of the screen as that may be controlled by a script that auto-updates each year.

   Cheers,
   Gary

8. Well in this website you can rely on the dates – they are in the titles of the posts and are never changed by any automatic software. I hope it reassures you.

   Comment by admin — January 8, 2010 @ 4:21 am

9. I really love this Blog and I recommend every one who is taking IELTS exam must read and make a habit to visit this site. I bought the book “Ace the IELTS” just couple week before the exam and I read only once. I did excellent in my Exam.
   Thanks Simone

12. Hello,IELTS-Blog!

    Firs I’d like to thank you for your existence 🙂 unfortunately i failed at my first IELTS exam but without you it would have been a lot worse.
    And second i have a question, I really suck at essay writing, and there is nothing I can do about it 🙁
    The help of private professionals is really good but kind of expensive, that can you recommend, cos I’m really desperate.

    Comment by dager — March 16, 2010 @ 4:35 am

13. Hi Dager,

    What private professionals do you mean, and what do they charge to check your work?

17. The IELTS can be difficult for some and this information on your site is very helpful. I have read many other sites that are free and that is where I would direct my time on, I would never pay for it since there are a ton of resources online.

28. Hi I did the IELTS on 17th November and scored 7-Reading, 8.5-Listening, 8-Speaking, 8-Writing. I needed perfect 8s in all the sections. Will a re-mark improve the 7 because I’m wondering why it’s the only 7 yet reading is relatively simpler than the rest

    Comment by onyangoliech — December 8, 2011 @ 12:37 am

29. Sorry to tell you this, but the chance re-marking will improve the reading score is not big. Writing and Speaking are sort of subjective skills and sometimes it will help to get the work re-marked by another examiner. Reading and Listening are clerically marked, there is no examiner’s judgement involved – the answer is ether correct or it’s not.

    Comment by admin — December 8, 2011 @ 4:23 am

30. Hi folks! I´ve just received my academic test score. I got an overall score of 7, which I must say it´s great for me. Well, thanks to all your contributions!!
    CU!
    Gustavo.

    Comment by gustavo — December 16, 2011 @ 5:50 am

31. Hello Simone,
    First I would like to say thank you for this great website and the book Target Band 7. I used it intensively and my first attempt was over all-7 (7L, 7R, 7W, 7.5S), while second time improved to 7.5 (8L, 8R, 6.5W, 7.5S). As you can see, for the second time although overall score was higher, writing was reduced to 6.5 which is quite minimum. My question is which result I shall submit to university application. Even though the first result is lower, it shows evenly over 7 in all sections, which may give a better impression than having writing 6.5 even other sections resulted in better scores. Some schools require 7 in each section, so there is no question, but question remains for those requiring only overall 6.5. Thank you for your advices.

    Comment by Malgretout — December 16, 2011 @ 10:39 am

32. Hi Malgretout,
    Congratulations on getting these excellent scores!
    In regard to your question, I think you should send the score that meets the university requirements.
    Some places rule out 6.5 and in that case you should send the result where you have 7+ in all skills.
    Well done! Good luck with your application.
    Simone

35. Thank you for the job that you do for IELTS students. The book you published is really useful!

    It would be great if you post several IELTS Speaking model answers with different bands.

    Cheers!

41. Hi,
    I have been following this website for quite a while. This blog has definitely helped me in my preparation for the exam.I have recently given my Ielts academic test in Australia.

    Writing

    Task1

    They have given two pie charts, they represent the different kinds of energy produced in the years 1983 and 2003.

    Task 2

    Please explain both the views and your opinion.

    Speaking
    Do you stay in a apartment or a house?
    Which is the favourite room in your house?
    Are you planning to move house in the future?
    Cue card: Talk about your childhood friend
    Do you think children need friends?
    Is it good to have multicultural friend for a child, in what way?

46. Plz help me my writing is so weak I want to get good score in ielts n i am so nervous about exam

    Comment by Sajina — July 29, 2018 @ 5:46 am

47. Hi Sajina, sorry to hear you’re nervous about the exam, but it’s completely normal – everyone is. The best medicine to cure that feeling is to prepare well and feel in control of the exam material. If your writing isn’t good enough now to get the score you need, you can use the most recent writing topics we post daily on our website. Train to quickly come up with ideas on what to write about for each topic, and train to write according to IELTS format (read more about that here). If you need someone to check your writing, we have a team of experienced IELTS teachers to help you.

49. Hii, am manpreet
    My exam date is 25th august nd i want some suggestions, how i scored 8 bands in writing as well as speaking. Plzzz help me.. I have alot of problems in that modules. Thanks

    Comment by manpreet kaur — August 7, 2018 @ 7:51 pm

50. Hi Surinder, we can see your subscription is active and you received and opened two of our emails. You can expect an email from us every weekday, and it may include IELTS questions, materials, resources, tips or sample answers.

    Comment by Simone Braverman — August 8, 2018 @ 6:52 am

51. Hi Manpreet, without discouraging you I have to be honest, 2 weeks may not be enough to raise your score to Band 8. Reading your comment I can see some spelling and grammatical errors, Band 8 candidates need to be good at grammar and spelling. This book can help you raise your level to Band 8 – but it will take more than 2 weeks. If you can, consider postponing your exam date to allow you to study the book first, and once you are scoring Band 8 at home reliably doing practice tests under exam conditions, you can book a real test.

    Comment by Simone Braverman — August 8, 2018 @ 7:00 am

52. hello sir..I had written ielts exam several times and Iam stucked with my writing.Iam very much worried and sometimes I doubt about the test reliability.what will I do to improve my writing score

    Comment by sherin — August 9, 2018 @ 1:16 am

53. Hi Sherin, IELTS is quite reliable in terms of assessing your writing. If your score is consistently low, it’s probably not because there’s something wrong with the test. Our writing correction service can help you understand what mistakes are causing your score to remain low.

    Comment by Simone Braverman — August 9, 2018 @ 8:56 am

54. Thanks for all the information.

    Comment by Olatunde — September 5, 2018 @ 7:38 am

61. Hi Olatunde, IELTS Success Formula has everything Ace the IELTS has and more, there are additional resources in it for Writing and Speaking in particular, this is because it aims to prepare test takers for scoring Band 8 or higher in IELTS.

    I am looking for essay corrections.If I send 8 tasks together will I get them corrected in three days Please Explain and one more question,are you an Ex-Ielts examiner.

    Comment by Shaheen — September 19, 2018 @ 11:14 pm

69. HI I recently took the IELTS advanced test. The first time I was not satisfied with my writing results but didn’t get it remarked. The second time I received a 6.5 in speaking. (I am Canadian) I have perfect English. So I got it remarked and received an 8.5. How is a difference that big possible? I would advise Everyone who is not satisfied with their results and takes the exam in Bulgaria to get an EOR. Clearly they’re failing people on purpose or just don’t know English.

    Comment by Unhappy person — September 20, 2018 @ 8:34 am

70. Hi Shaheen, thanks for your comment – yes, you can send 8 essays in one day, and get them back corrected 3 days later. Just make sure each essay goes to us in a separate email message – but we will send you detailed instructions how to submit them, so don’t worry. The IELTS teachers checking essays on our writing correction team have a great deal of experience, they would have checked thousands of tasks, you can trust them with checking yours.

88. I am not quite happy with my IELTS results and would like to apply for revaluation. Is there a chance that my marks get actually decreased if I file a EOR form?

    Comment by Tammy1705 — December 16, 2018 @ 6:08 pm

89. Hi Tammy, yes there is a chance your score can go down, just as well as go up or remain unchanged. What you can do is ask to remark only the sub-test(s) you’re not happy with (Listening, Reading, Writing or Speaking). Assuming the current scores in those sub-tests don’t help you and you’d have to retake the test if remarking doesn’t increase your score, it seems you have nothing to lose, right?

91. Hi Vimmi, if you purchased your books on our website, or on Amazon, please look at the first page of any Listening test. At the top of the page there is a box with web address, that you need to type in your browser. That will take you to the page where you can download all the audio recordings for your books.

    Comment by Noreen — January 13, 2019 @ 5:11 am

93. Hi Noreen, it may help if you read high-scoring IELTS essays,letters and reports that other people wrote, because you can learn new types of sentences, synonyms and expressions you can use in your own writing.

96. I got 5.5 in writing, but want 6.5, so what I have to do?

    Comment by Karan Chhotala — February 1, 2019 @ 5:02 am

97. Hi Karan, I recommend that you send your writing to our teachers, to get their feedback and suggestions what you need to improve to get a higher score. Visit this page to choose a writing correction package, make a payment and start emailing your essays to our teachers. They will mark them and return to you, with feedback and an estimated IELTS score.

98. Hi Simone,

    I’ve just come across your website this morning. I sit an Academic IELTS exam 10 years ago and got 6.5. This time I am aiming for an General Training IELTS score of 8.5. If I buy your book and find it unhelpful, please tell me what is the return process?
    I’m very sorry if my question make you feel uncomfortable.

    Thank you for your time,
    Khanh

    Comment by Khanh — February 5, 2019 @ 11:23 pm

99. Hi Khanh, this is a totally reasonable question, and a very good one to ask! If you find that any of our books or practice tests aren’t right for you, for any reason, just email us to let us know, and your money will be refunded straight away. I must say this very rarely happens – but in case you don’t benefit from our materials, we would never keep your money.

100. Dear Sir,
     Hope you are doing well.

     I need overall 7 and 6.5 in each.

     I scored 6.5 in speaking, 6 in writing, and 5 in reading and listening as well. Please let me know how to improve reading section.

101. Hi Mala, you can get better at Listening and Reading with the help of some tips to improve your performance. For example, there is a way to listen actively and avoid missing answers when you hear them. Check out the free trial of IELTS books ‘Target Band 7’ and ‘Ace the IELTS’ available here.

     Comment by Sahar jalalizadeh — March 10, 2019 @ 5:47 am

104. Dear Ms. Simone,
     I would like to ask which of your ebook would best suit my situation, if my interest resides in enhancing my writing skills, and overcome the 6.5 score, that I had accomplished in three successive IELTS GT attempts. My target is to reach the 7 band score, though that more than that (7.5) would be surely beneficial.

     Appreciated your feedback,

     Yours Sincerely,
     MI

     Comment by MI — March 13, 2019 @ 1:52 pm

105. Hello MI, depending on the amount of time you have left to study, I recommend Ace the IELTS if you have about 3 weeks until your exam, or IELTS Success Formula if you have 6+ weeks of preparation left. ‘Ace the IELTS’ is more condensed and it can help you get Band 7 or 7.5, and if you’re aiming at Band 8+ then IELTS Success Formula will be a better fit, because it has lots of additional resources (vocabulary, grammar, sentence formation) that you will need to lift your score.

     Comment by Simone Braverman — March 13, 2019 @ 4:23 pm

106. Thanks Ms. Simone for your prompt reply.
     I will consider the IELTS FORMULA ebook, as I still did not book a test schedule.
     Last question, if I would like to purchase the Kindle version (Amazon) , could I download the PDF version of the file ?

     Thank you,
     Regards,
     MI

     Comment by Jegede modupe opeyemi — August 24, 2019 @ 10:46 pm

131. If you already have your first attempt score, you know what the gap is between that, and the score that you need. You can start by looking at the skills with the biggest gap, and then dive deeper and analyse the reasons why you can’t reach the score that you need. So, for example if it’s Reading, start looking at your wrong answers and try to understand if there’s a pattern, and the reasons why you get some questions wrong. We will send you techniques how to achieve better accuracy in IELTS if you subscribe to our free daily emails here.
