IELTS: How I got an 8.5 score

I am now in my early thirties (yikes), and have been lucky to have the opportunity to live and work in several English-speaking countries these past few years.

Currently living in Canada, I’ve decided to undertake the IELTS General Training test for visa reasons, and to finally see where I stand as an English speaker! I took the exam last September (2019), and am grateful to say I got a pretty good score (a little humble brag, please don’t judge me). Since then, I’ve been meeting a lot of other foreigners wanting to take the IELTS and asking me questions about it, so I figured I might as well give back to my fellow English learners and write a post about it, to share my experience and hopefully help some people in the process. <a href="https://thierrymaout.medium.com/ielts-how-i-got-an-8-5-score-b0e2f93823fa">Click Here</a>
