I’m sure everyone is wondering how these lovely people were able to score so well. At the moment we only know that Martin Petkov (Band 8.5) use the book “Target Band 7” to prepare for his exam, Usha Siddaramaiah and Ravinder Singh (Band 7.5) prepared using ‘Ace the IELTS’ book, and Paul Cherayath used our writing correction service to improve his writing skills.

But every winner has his or her own story! This is why we’re asking all the winners to share how they prepared and studied, and what helped them achieve success in IELTS. Anything they wish to tell us 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.
