We should really find out how these lovely people were able to score so well. Some of them are our students, so we know they used our books – Roger George ( Band 8.5 ) and Nikhil Pujar (Band 8) used “Ace the IELTS”, and Mihirani Mkumarasinghe and Leyla Khaspoladova (Band 7.5) used “Target Band 7”. But we definitely need to know more!

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.
