Winning IELTS results will be displayed in the IELTS-Blog hall of fame – so if you won, please feel free to show them off to your friends!

So, what does it take to get a high score in IELTS? How do you make it happen? All we know at the moment is that Fuad Ahmadov (Band 7.5) used our book “IELTS Success Formula”, and Prithvi Hemmige (Overall Band 8 with straight 9’s in Listening and Reading) used our book “Ace the IELTS”. But there must be so much more information our winners can share!

We hope to hear from the winners the 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.

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