IELTS Success Story: Anna Band 9.0!

My IELTS Classroom Podcast

Achieving a IELTS Band 9.0 is very special indeed. I am not sure of the official figures, but my guess is that less than 1% of test-takers receive this score each year. Having a Band 9.0 shows not just that a student has a C1/C2 level of English, but that they have excellent academic skills and are able to perform well under pressure.

Today, we have the pleasure of interviewing Anna Pakhomova who achieved this score in May 2021, with the individual bands of 9, 9, 8.5, 9 (the 8.5 is for writing). We discuss the dangers of preparing online (and trust me, Anna has some amazing stories about this!) and what she did to reach that elusive score. This is a great listen for any teacher or student who has the lofty goal of reaching band 9.0 - if nothing else, you can know that it is possible!
