Other test takers always wonder how our “Olympians” prepared for their victory. It feels great to tell you that we contributed to the success of two of them: Jane Soria (Band 8) prepared using our book “Target Band 7” and Thi Le (Band 8) was using ‘Ace the IELTS’. However, we’d like to hear from the other winners, too!

This is why we’re asking all the winners to share their 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.
