From Struggle to Success: How Marta Achieved Her IELTS Goals and Secured a US Scholarship

Have you ever felt stuck while preparing for the IELTS exam? Meet Marta, a bright student from Ukraine who turned her IELTS struggles into triumph. Let’s dive into her story and see how she went from a 6.5 to a 7 in both writing and speaking!



 

Marta’s IELTS Journey

Marta needed high IELTS scores to join a university programme in the United States. She faced three big challenges:

  • No feedback on her practice attempts
  • Worry about missing the required score
  • Fear of wasting time on confusing online resources

Does this sound familiar? Many IELTS students face similar issues. But don’t worry – there’s hope!

The Turning Point

Marta found help through IELTS Podcast. At first, she was unsure about online learning. But she soon realised it was just what she needed. Here’s what made the difference:

  • The essay checker tool gave her personalised feedback
  • The speaking simulator boosted her confidence
  • Focused practice improved her skills quickly

Marta’s Success Story

On test day, Marta felt ready and confident. Her hard work paid off with amazing results:

  • Reading: 8
  • Listening: 8
  • Writing: 7
  • Speaking: 7

These scores helped Marta secure her scholarship to study in the US. What an achievement!
