The first time she took the IELTS Exam, she got 5.5 on everything except Reading, in which she got a 6.
Vivian needs higher scores so she can get her Master’s in another country, and is aiming for an overall 6.5.
As she’s now a 3 Keys student, she feels she’s learned a lot to improve her score.
Her listening has improved a lot, as she’s learned how to calmly follow the speakers using our strategies, and hear the answers without anxiety and panic.
