My IELTS Success Story: From Underestimating to Achieving Band 8 with My Travel International

For many, the IELTS exam seems like just another English test. I thought the same at first—and that’s why my journey began with a big lesson.

 My Band 8 Results

  • Listening: 8.0 

  • Reading: 8.0 

  • Speaking: 8.0 

  • Writing: 7.5 
    Overall Band Score: 8.0


 My First Attempt – Not Taking It Seriously

On my first attempt, I joined My Travel International’s IELTS training, but honestly, I wasn’t serious about it. I believed IELTS was just about knowing basic English skills, so I didn’t put in enough effort or practice.

When exam day came, I quickly realized how wrong I was. IELTS isn’t just about speaking English—it’s about understanding the test format, time management, and applying strategies. My results reflected my lack of preparation, and I didn’t achieve the score I needed.


 My Second Attempt – A Change of Mindset

After that disappointment, I decided to give IELTS the seriousness it deserves. I rejoined My Travel International’s training program, but this time I was committed.

The training gave me:

  • Structured practice through timed tests.

  • Personalized feedback on writing and speaking, where I struggled most.

  • Proven strategies for each section of the exam.

  • A supportive environment that kept me motivated and consistent.

By taking the training seriously, I saw massive improvement in my confidence and performance.


The Results – Band 8 Success

On my second attempt, I felt prepared and focused. I managed my time well, applied the strategies I had practiced, and stayed calm throughout the test. When my results came in, I was thrilled—Band 8 overall (L-8, R-8, S-8, W-7.5)!

It was more than just a score; it was proof that dedication and the right training can completely change your outcome.


 My Advice to Other IELTS Candidates

  1. Don’t underestimate IELTS—it’s not just basic English.

  2. Take training seriously—commit fully, and the results will show.

  3. Stay consistent—practice daily and track your progress.

  4. Learn strategies, not just language—success is about smart preparation.
