I am satisfied as I needed 7 in each band and this was my very first IELTS attempt so I am glad that I am through

I followed Ryan's techniques only on the writing and I give full creadit to Ryan and his material for this. I had many friend who even got overall 8 and 8.5 but could not get more than 6.5 in writing. Ryan's techniques simply proven and work
