How to avoid taking IELTS many times and get your target score straight away

Pelawat, it's no secret that people are often pressed for time preparing for their IELTS tests. Here is one reason why: test takers find out they have a date by which they must get their target IELTS score. The date may be set by a government agency, a university where they would like to study or a potential employer. Then people are starting their IELTS preparation, and they often have 2-3 weeks to get their English and IELTS skills to the necessary level. This order of events is less than ideal, because the right way is working on your IELTS skills first, until you are reliably getting your target score at home in mock tests, and then booking a date for your test, to ensure you don't take it more than once. Reza, a test taker from Iran who got a Band 8 Overall score in IELTS, approached his exam the right way – he made sure he is able to get his target score in a mock test at home first, and then took the real test. He needed Band 7 in writing, and in order to get there he worked hard, wrote and submitted more than 30 essays to our writing correction service. He followed our teachers' suggestions and improved, and when he started getting Band 7 for his Writing Tasks 1 and 2, Reza knew he was ready. In the real test his Writing score was Band 7, and his Overall score – Band 8. As a winner of our March round of IELTS Results Competition, Reza shared some advice that will help you prepare for IELTS the right way: "Using IELTS-Blog.com writing correction service is highly recommended. It provides practical feedback which can effectively increase test takers' scores. Furthermore, I ask everyone to read the past IELTS questions they publish on the website. It helps you get familiar with different topics that come up in Writing and Speaking. As for the Listening and Reading – I did a test every day. It was very helpful in improving my concentration, pace and confidence. Cambridge IELTS books and many online sources can be used for these parts. Thank you to IELTS-Blog.com for your incredible help and support. We all owe you big time." How about YOU winning the IELTS results competition? - Pelawat, did YOU get a good result in IELTS?
