Very pleased with the IELTS exam(01/10/15)) results, which I got today. L - 9, R - 8.5, W - 8.5 and S - 8.5.
I had very short period of time(<3 weeks) to prepare for the exams, was anxious, put in 3-4 hours of effort everyday and got the band I was hoping for. Wish everyone the best in their efforts
I also had a short time to get prepared, I studied for just 3 days plus I had my graduation a day before the test. But I was still able to achieve an overall band of 8.5. Plus I got an email yesterday stating that I might have gotten a band 9 in my speaking, which increases my overall band to 9.
