I scored 9 in my IELTS Exam !

Did you think that scoring 9.0 (the full mark) in IELTS is impossible?
Well, it's not. Meet Ayman Idris, an IELTS candidate who scored the full mark in the IELTS exam!

We had small chat with Ayman and he shared some useful tips on how to improve your English and prepare for the exam.

What do you do?

I studied software engineering at University of Khartoum and I currently work as Chief innovation Officer at Banan Information Technologies. I did my masters in innovation management at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm - Sweden.

Why have you taken IELTS?
To work in Australia.

How did you study for the exam?
I resolved my problem from its roots, I started by improving my English Language a while back, during university my English was horrible, to improve it I started listening to western music, read books and magazines, which later on became my hobby. I subscribed to 35 publications and spent at least 2 hours of my day reading in English. I avoided translating what I need to say in English in order to speak naturally.

The advice I would give to the candidates is to rest well before the exam, because the exam requires concentration, the listening part plays only once! So you need to focus and listen well. For speaking, just let yourself go and start talking, don’t be afraid of the examiner.

As for the reading, you need to become a fast reader, practice reading and learn to extract information quickly because the time is tight for the reading section. Same for the writing, practice a lot! Practice makes perfect.
