Conquering a 7.0 IELTS Score with the Strong Support of VSR - VWR

"If anyone asks where I studied for IELTS, I'll recommend Prep immediately!"

Yen Nhi first learned about Prep through a friend, and after experiencing the course, she was delighted, saying, "Prep is truly excellent!" She had heard about Prep before but was initially hesitant due to limited online reviews, unsure of what to expect.

"After enrolling, I found that Prep was an outstanding choice! The curriculum is well-structured and allows me to work on multiple skills in an integrated way. Prep’s assignments are very diverse—I keep working on them and never run out. My skills have improved significantly. If anyone asks me where to study for IELTS, I always recommend Prep to them!"

Yen Nhi also shared that Prep’s affordability and unlimited access were significant factors in her decision. Studying with Prep has helped ease the financial burden on her family, and since all courses come with lifetime access, she can continue studying to boost her score whenever needed.

Boosting Your IELTS Band with Prep's Virtual Room

“When I first started, I thought Prep would have us focus on one skill at a time, moving from one skill to the next. But Prep’s Study Plan actually mixes all four skills together and includes revision sessions to help retain information. I was really surprised by that!”

Besides following the Study Plan, Yen Nhi also created her own schedule to improve each skill, combining both approaches for effective learning while staying organized. During exam prep, she devoted at least 2 hours a day to studying and built a habit of engaging in English through music and reading news for both learning and relaxation.

This approach helped her quickly improve in Listening and Reading. Some of her favorite resources were Disney, BBC News, The Economist, and The Guardian. Along with listening and reading, Nhi practiced dictation for Listening and used Cambridge and Road to IELTS practice tests in the virtual test room to boost her Reading skills.

For Writing, which she felt less confident in, Nhi invested more time practicing with VWR to develop her writing abilities. “VWR’s feedback is very detailed. The first time I took a test, I realized my weakness was understanding and analyzing the prompt. Since then, I make sure to read each prompt carefully to pinpoint the main focus.”

Believing in “quality over quantity,” Nhi focused on just five practice prompts. She studied model answers thoroughly, analyzed her mistakes, and practiced repeatedly until she no longer made similar errors.

“VWR’s grading is strict. My essay had around a dozen grammar and spelling mistakes, as I don’t usually double-check my work. Prep taught me the importance of careful review. They also suggested vocabulary and collocations that are useful for the real test.”

When asked about Prep’s most impressive feature, Nhi shared that VSR was her top choice. “I’d rate Prep’s VSR feature a 10/10 because it identifies each pronunciation mistake and explains why I pronounced certain words incorrectly, showing me how close I was to the correct pronunciation. Practicing with VSR significantly improved my fluency and pronunciation.”

"I’m quite satisfied with my results. I may not be one of the top students in my class, but I still reached a 7.0, which makes me believe that anyone can achieve their target band with dedication."
