IELTS Results competition winners in August 2021

For most of the world, 2021 has been a rollercoaster, with countries entering and exiting lockdowns and so many of us feeling unsure of tomorrow. Yet, there are many inspiring stories of people quietly working towards and achieving their target IELTS scores. These stories need to be amplified – and that’s where our monthly IELTS results competition comes in!

Proudly presenting the winners of IELTS results competition in August 2021:

Congratulations on your success! To celebrate your achievements we are sending your special certificates to your emails. Winning IELTS results will be displayed in the IELTS-Blog hall of fame – so if you won, please feel free to show them off to your friends!

How did they prepare for IELTS?

Some of the winners relied on our services and materials: Mihir and Prabu used our writing correction service, Maria learnt techniques and strategies from Target Band 7 book, and Samuel used our practice tests.

In addition, Mihir was subscribed to our daily emails with IELTS questions – and it helped! He said,

“All of the questions that were asked to me were exactly same as the ones mailed by you guys earlier. I had practiced all of the questions over the past 2 months and I cannot stress this enough, Thank You for everything! I got a band score 8, all because of you guys!”

Samuel, too, credited our website with helping him get his target scores. He said,

“I just want to thank you guys at IELTS-Blog.com for the great work that you do. Your materials and advice was really helpful to me in achieving the scores I needed in both the general and academic modules. You are all wonderful and much appreciated.”

The winners of this competition are fighting the good fight – against inertia, hopelessness and negativity. They found the gift of motivation within themselves and are giving it to us all, at a time when we really need it.

We would love to hear from our winners, because anything that helped them achieve success in IELTS, can help YOU, too! Their advice, as soon as we get it, will be posted on IELTS-Blog without delay, so everyone can use the same technique and get a better score in their own exam.

P.S. IELTS results competition runs every month, and everyone is welcome to participate. Learn how to enroll here.
