IELTS Test Results competition

It’s time to announce our IELTS results competition winners, people! I am relieved to see that we’ve had more participants in February than in January, so this is great, and I’d like to thank everyone who responded and sent his or her test result to be in the competition. Now our March competition is open and everyone is invited to send in their scores and participate.

Without any further introduction, let me tell you that this month we had 5 winners, and they are:

Aqrar Khan from India, Band 8.5 in General module

Ravishankar Srinivasa Sarma from India, Band 8.5 in General module

Deeksha Dhingra from India, Band 8.5 in General module

Marasimhan Rishi from India, Band 8.5 in General module

Divya Mathur from India, Band 8.5 in Academic module

My dear winners, you must feel so proud! Congratulations, your special certificates – the evidence of your triumph – are on their way to your emails, and as always, your results will be displayed in IELTS-Blog hall of fame very soon.

And now it’s your chance to give back. I am asking you to share your best tips, that are responsible for your success.

Please send me an email and answer this question: “What does it take to get a high score in IELTS?”. Your answers will be published to give everyone a chance to learn from the high achievers.

Before we get to announcing the winners, there is something I want you to know. I am a little bit worried. We used to get many people participating in our monthly results competitions in 2009, in fact the number of winners grew every month.

Now we’re at the beginning of 2010 and I don’t see as many people sending me their test report forms. I know that everyone is busy and has a million things to do, we all work very hard, but let me tell you this – if successful IELTS test-takers don’t continue this tradition of winning the competition and then sharing their tips and advice, we all lose. The winners lose their “15 minutes of fame” and everybody else loses the chance of getting valuable advice from the high achievers.

So what do you say, will you help me get this going again?

If you’ve taken the IELTS exam (no matter when), send me your test report form to info[at]ielts-blog.com and be included in the monthly results competition.

And now, finally, the winners of January 2010 are:

Gagandeep Oberoi from India, Band 7.5 in General module

Nargess Mottaghi from Iran, Band 8.0 in Academic module

Lean Heong Foo from Malaysia, Band 8.0 in Academic module

Congratulations to the winners! Your very own special certificates are on their way to your emails, and as always, your results will be displayed in IELTS-Blog hall of fame very soon.

And by our tradition that goes way back, I am asking the winners to share their best tips, that are responsible for their success.
