Our latest winner, IELTS candidate from Philippines, Donmarl Camua explains what he did to achieve Band 8.0 in his Academic exam.
“MY ADVICE
Coming from the Philippines, a country where English is the second official language, I do certainly have some advantage in taking the IELTS. However, in IELTS – just like in any exam – preparation is always the key.
I may be good in English, but if i didn’t take time to do homework, attend a class or do online exercises, I may not have the score that I need for my Immigration Application.
If you want to get high scores, dedicate enough time to studying.
WHAT I DID
Prior to taking the exam:
I did some research. I searched and downloaded reviewers and e-books on the Internet. I gathered all the reviewers I could find. I made sure that I do at least one reviewer a day.
I subscribed to the IELTS-Blog.com. I thank the creators of this website, because it helped me a lot during my review. The “overview of IELTS Exams” shared by blog subscribers, helped me plan what to practice in.
