How did Chetan score Band 8 with 30 days preparation?

• Canadian Immigration told Chetan he needed the IELTS for a visa, however he had:

• Nobody to practise with.
• 
  
• 

• No IELTS Tutor.

I invited Esther because pronunciation is often overlooked however it is CRITICAL to scoring high.


Imagine, you speak perfect grammar, you have an excellent vocabulary, but the examiner can not understand a word because of your strong accent. Then it’s all worth NOTHING.
