Achieving IELTS 8.0 in one month with Prep Edu

Three years after her first IELTS attempt with a 7.0, Tam Tran raised her score to 8.0 in just over a month with Prep Edu. With this achievement, she met the requirements to graduate from National Economics University and confidently applied for a Master’s program in Data Analytics in the UK.

Tam Tran’s tips for a 7.0 in IELTS Writing 

Scoring 7.0 in Writing, Tam Tran was delighted with the noticeable improvement in just over a month. According to Tam Tran, the most effective way to prepare for IELTS Writing is to break it down into 6-7 major topics and collect useful vocabulary for each. She also followed a simple but powerful structure: Idea - Explanation - Example, a method from Prep Edu’s lessons that became her favorite. 

Reflecting on her practice, she shared: “I focused mainly on Task 2 since I had practiced Task 1 many times in my first attempt, and Prep Edu gave me a lot of support. My favorite writing lessons are with teacher Tu because his classes were both inspiring and straight to the point”. 

“Additionally, Prep Edu’s Virtual Writing Room (VWR) provides high-quality sample essays with topic-related vocabulary and an ideal environment to practice my writing skill. By following each step with Teacher Bee AI, I learned how to develop and connect ideas effectively. The Virtual Writing Room was truly helpful for me!”

Tam Tran also utilized Prep Edu’s Writing feedback feature, where teachers provided detailed comments by praising strong sentences, pointing out mistakes, and suggesting improvements. Thanks to this support, she no longer wrote in a scattered way but learned to analyze questions with better focus and clarity. Her essays gradually improved, and she became more confident in her writing skill.

The progress was accelerated by following Prep Edu’s study plan

Tam Tran prepared intensively for IELTS in just over a month to meet her graduation deadline and apply for scholarships abroad. She shared that, since her English foundation was already solid, she did not feel too worried. To save time, she decided to follow Prep Edu’s study plan, which provided a clear structure and guided her step by step through each skill.

Another feature that Tam Tran really enjoyed was Prep Edu’s Virtual Speaking Room, which created a simulated test environment that allowed her to practice speaking under the time pressure just like in the real exam. The program also offered a wide variety of practice tests, which she found extremely helpful. 

Preparing intensively for just over a month, Tam Tran admitted she felt lucky to have Prep Edu as her companion. Her IELTS practice experience on Prep Edu was almost identical to the real test. With just the intensive IELTS course, she was able to handle almost all of her preparation without needing extra materials from external sources.

“I think choosing Prep Edu was the best decision. I had taken offline courses before, but didn’t learn much. With Prep Edu, the preparation process was much more effective and faster”.

“A proud IELTS journey with Prep Edu”

“Whenever I felt discouraged, I reminded myself to stay patient, and keep calm in order to achieve my goals. Looking back, I feel proud of the entire journey with Prep Edu because my score even exceeded my expectations” Tam Tran shared.

For others preparing for the IELTS exam, she advises starting as early as possible and making full use of Prep Edu’s resources. “My biggest tip is to follow Prep Edu’s study plan because it really helps you reach your target faster. I also recommend practicing with Virtual Speaking Room and Virtual Writing Room to improve your performance.”
