I took the IELTS exam on July 25,2015( academic version ). This was my first attempt.
I received an overall score of 8.5 with individual scores of Listening -9, Reading-8.5, Writing - 7.5 and Speaking -8.
I wish to work as a doctor in the UK and i needed to score an overall score of 7.5 and a score of 7 in each component of the test individually for getting professional registration.
I worked hard for about 40 to 45 days prior to the exam. I must thank Ryan sir as I feel his online materials and tips were very useful for me to crack the exam with ease.
I also wish all future ielts takers the very best for your exams.
thanks sir. i scored 8.5 overall in academic test
