Confident Student Conquers 7.5 IELTS After 3 Months of Effective Study

Step-by-Step Progress with a Dedicated Guide

As a third-year student with a goal to become an English teacher, Thanh Mai set a personal challenge to achieve a 7.0+ IELTS score on her first try. Starting from a 6.0 IELTS score and limited prep time, she was initially anxious about her abilities. It was only when she discovered Prep, combined with her determination to self-study and persevere, that she exceeded expectations with an excellent score.

With just three months to prepare, Thanh Mai trusted Prep’s Study Plan. This plan, which organizes daily lessons and personalizes based on proficiency level, became her ideal study partner, helping her tackle initial learning challenges.

“I followed Prep’s Study Plan entirely. Teachers structured the curriculum from easy to difficult, so I didn’t feel discouraged. Each day, I spent an hour on each skill. When I had time, I studied three hours in the morning and an extra hour in the evening,” Thanh Mai shared. Alongside her dedication, Thanh Mai diligently applied effective study methods, progressing step by step with Prep.

"When I took the test, I felt confident thanks to my thorough practice with Prep’s Virtual Room."

Thanh Mai admitted she was initially nervous to the point of considering postponing the test. However, after encouragement from Prep, she regained her confidence, practicing regularly with the Virtual Room to strengthen her skills and mindset.

“At times, I wanted to delay my test date. But the teachers motivated me, so I pushed myself to practice in the Virtual Speaking and Writing Rooms to boost my confidence,” she explained.

For Speaking, Thanh Mai maintained daily practice in the Virtual Room to build vocabulary and generate ideas. “For Speaking, I mainly practiced in the Virtual Room, completing three sessions each day. Over time, I saw a clear improvement in my fluency and vocabulary. With vocabulary upgrades, I expanded my word bank. I also referred to Prep’s sample responses for new ideas.” Regular practice even helped Thanh Mai encounter familiar topics on test day: “Prep frequently updates predicted questions, so when I took the test, I luckily encountered one of the Part 2 topics.”

For Writing, Thanh Mai was highly impressed with Prep's AI, which provided detailed and personalized feedback on her work. “After studying the theory in my course, I practiced writing in the Virtual Writing Room. I was surprised that the AI could provide personalized feedback rather than general comments. The AI even revised my essays based on my ideas, helping me improve my development skills.”

In Listening and Reading, her highest-scoring skills, Thanh Mai diligently followed Prep’s methods and practiced each test multiple times. “The teachers showed me effective and time-saving strategies. I practiced the tests, and after a while, I reviewed them again to memorize vocabulary and strengthen my thinking.” This dedication led her to perfect scores of 9.0 in Listening and 8.5 in Reading.

With Prep's structured guidance and personalized feedback across all four skills, Thanh Mai was able to overcome every obstacle and achieve a remarkable 7.5 IELTS Overall score.

A Rewarding Outcome of Relentless Effort

As someone who successfully surpassed her initial goal, Thanh Mai takes pride in her hard work and achievement. The 7.5 IELTS certificate not only recognizes her recent efforts but also acts as a “golden ticket,” unlocking many career opportunities she has dreamed of.
