Congratulations to the winners! A day like this shouldn’t go unnoticed – and so we are sending your certificates of achievement to your emails. Your IELTS results will be displayed in the IELTS-Blog hall of fame – please feel free to show off to your family and friends!

I’m sure everyone is wondering how these lovely people were able to score so well. At the moment we only know that Fara Adam (Band 8) prepared using our book “Target Band 7”, Pradeep Pandian (Band 8) was using ‘Ace the IELTS’ and Vijaya Inthulan (Band 8) sent her essays to our teachers for checking and correction. 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.

Writing task 1 (a report)

We were given a table describing medical care in three European countries from 1980 to 2000. We had to write a report on it for a university lecturer, comparing the data where relevant.
