Why Most IELTS Test Takers Score Below Band 6 - And What YOU Can Do About It

If you must take the IELTS test and this is your first time, or you have failed to reach your target score in IELTS before, please know this:

The latest official report from the IELTS Organization showed that test takers from the top 40 countries scored on average below Band 6 (in Academic and General Training tests).

At the same time most universities want you to score 7 or above - and most immigration laws require band 6.5 or higher.

But how can you beat the average? Is it possible?

Yes, it is definitely possible. You CAN beat the statistics and easily get Band 7, Band 8 - or even Band 9.

IF you're willing to listen.

Here is the formula: Your success depends on one thing only - the way you solve the tasks. The way you answer the questions and write your reports and essays. And people, who know the right way, get higher scores. But people who don't - score average or below. It's really that simple. Good news is that anyone can learn the right way quickly and easily. Even better news is that in one moment you could have access to it. You are literally one click away from a book that is GUARANTEED to help you maximize your IELTS score.

This book is 100% GUARANTEED to maximize your IELTS score and transform your exam preparation from chaotic and frustrating to systematic, productive and enjoyable. Between you and me, does this sound familiar? You must get a high score in IELTS, and have no idea how to do it. Writing a good essay is hard, because you don't have enough ideas and they take long to generate. By the time you have something to write about, there is not enough time left to finish your writing. You have trouble expressing your thoughts and the sentences come out just wrong. Graphs are difficult to describe because you have trouble analysing them (well, you're not a scientist, are you?), and no matter how much you try, any report is taking longer than 20 minutes. How do I know this? Because I've been there, too. I know what it's like to always run out of time in the Reading test, because the passages are hard to understand and the questions are confusing. I know what it feels like to be a slow reader and always lose time, or concentration, especially if the texts are long. I, too, felt the frustration of losing points on grammar, because there is no time to check your answers. I understand the desperation of not being able to achieve you target Band score, no matter what you do. Just like you, I used to get nervous while speaking, worried about my grammar or pronunciation, and was desperately looking for the right word to say. You are not the only one whose English is often misunderstood by people, and who is convinced that unless there is someone to practice in speaking with, they will never get better. It's not just you, whose mind goes blank when you need to speak on a topic for 2 minutes, who's left with no ideas what to say or with no words in their vocabulary. And it's not just you who panics in the Listening section, when they go too fast, or speak with an accent, or because it's hard to concentrate and you're afraid to miss the answers. If any of this describes your IELTS preparation, I've got great news for you: I've Had It All. And I Know How To Help. You are about to be given a step-by-step guide to IELTS preparation, that will transform your studying from frustrating, labour-intensive, long, boring and hopeless experience into an effective, focused and a much shorter one.

And when you do take the IELTS exam, prepare to be surprised by your score - it might be higher than you expected.
