IELTS Results competition winners in October 2017

Today is a great day, because we get to congratulate 10 winners on their IELTS success. All those nights spent going through the books, doing practice tests and working on grammar and vocabulary are finally over; now a much more exciting chapter in their lives begins! The majority of our October winners come from India (what’s up with the rest of the world?), and their scores range from the near-perfect IELTS Band 8.5 to a very honorable Band 7.5.

Well done guys, we’re applauding you! As a token of our appreciation we are sending your certificates of achievement to your emails. 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, how does a person get a high score in IELTS? What does it actually take? All we know at the moment is that Chetan Soni (Band 8) used our website to get the most recent IELTS questions. He also told us how he prepared, and we will share his advice with you later this week. But there must be so much more information our winners can contribute!

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.
