Just got my results: 7.0/7.5/8.0/9.0 (W/S/L/R) overall 8.0. One month of preparation, mostly from E2 videos and mock tests. Good luck to all future candidates :)

Got my IELTS results! L: 8.5; R: 9; S: 8; W: 7.5; overall: 8.5 😭

Edit: Since some people keep asking — I’m not literally crying; as a matter of fact, I’m very happy with my scores. The crying emoji doesn’t necessarily mean sadness or actual crying. It is often used as part of pop culture lingo when you want to express something that made you very ecstatic that you cry from happiness.

For all the doubters out there:
I was pretty demotivated throughout my preparation for this exam. I just didn't show any sign of progress or improvement. Still, I continued practicing and watching videos from this chanel. What I'm about to tell you is important. I only had a month to prepare. By actually watching these videos and trying to understand the way in which I have to think to answer correctly I improved my score, in reading at least, from 6.0-6.5 to a staggering 8.5. I got a band 8.0 and wasn't expecting anything higher than a 6.5 or 7.0. However demoralized you might feel, keep practicing, keep pushing through. Trust the process.

Hello Jay,

I got my IELTS scores last week...
L:9 R:8.5 W:7.5 S:8 and an overall of 8.5
All thanks to you... definitely couldn't have done this without your videos! ❤️🙏

Guys...don't go around paying for crash courses for your prep. Jay's videos are everything you need!!!!✨

[motunrayoerhurhu]

Hi E2 family. I just got my results some minutes ago, scored 8.0 overall in ielts academic on my first attempt. I couldn't have done it without you guys, I am super grateful. The writing was a bit of a shock though, I had prepared for graphs and charts but the question was on periodic landscape analysis.
If you're here, please register with E2 for preparations, these guys are the best.

This is hands down the best reading video tip and trick I have come across. I had less than a week to prepare for my exam, but after watching this video, I completed my reading and still had about 10 minutes to spare. I took my test yesterday on the 13th of January 2024, and I'll be back on the 26th of January with good news. Thanks to you, Jay, and your team for all you do.

January 26th... Listening 7.5, reading 7.0, writing 7.5, speaking 7.5. Overall: 7.5

I had only 2 weeks to prepare for IELTS academic and E2 IELTS free YouTube videos helped me a great deal. I used videos from other channels but these guys were my main tutors. I thank you for the free content and I should make a little donation.
Overall 8
S: 8.0 L:8.5 R:9.0 W:7 (i didn't plan time well and I didn't complete neither of the two writing tasks but by God's mercy I still had a 7)
Thank you Jay!

[fidelischinagorom]

I bumped into your channel just 4days to my exam, and I got lots of helpful tips. Sat for my exam on 26th Feb (General training) and I passed with an overall score of 7. One week preparation.
And I passed in one sitting. 7.5 listening, 6.5 writing, 7.5 speaking, & 6.5 reading. Thank you so much.

This was my first attempt, thanks to E2 and Jay. I couldn't have done it without your helpful videos.

[gmatbuddy]

THIS IS THE ONLY VIDEO YOU NEED TO GET 9 IN READING SECTION. Alhamdulillah I got 9 in Reading section and I always recommend this channel for others to nail their Reading Section. I only learn from YouTube and exercise using free practices on websites. Thank you very much, Sir! Thank you E2 IELTS! Good luck everyone!

[ShadowLeague]

Just wanna thank E2 for posting all of these inspiring videos, I got a band 8 score with just a week of preparation. I don’t think I could have done it without you! Words can not express my gratitude.

[maheshikumararathne]

Thanks Jay !!! Done with IELTS and scored R: 9, L:8.5, W: 7.5 and S: 7.5, Overall 8.0. Your videos were helpful in preparing for Reading and Listening and I watched Alex's videos for writing tips.

[Luzanneloves]

GUYS THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I only had 10 days to prepare for my IELTS- very risky for a first time taker but I have a deadline so I had no choice. I needed to get at least 7 in all tests so I just watched your videos, followed your tips and practiced writing for Tasks 1 and 2. (I was confident with my reading and listening so I just took a test for each test type maybe twice.) My scores:
Overall - 8
Speaking - 7.5
Reading - 8.5
Writing - 7.0
Listening - 8.5

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your lessons!!!

[pruthvichaudhary]

Thank you very much Jay and Alex, I just watched your videos for my Computer Based - IELTS no more than a week and got 7.5 in reading and 6.5 in writing. You guys are doing great work. Thanks again 😄

[WildSkyGalaxy]

I would like to say thank you to E2. I binged your videos for a whole week and my IELTS score improved significantly. At first I only got a mere 5.5 overall. After I watched most of your vids, I got 7.5 overall. My speaking was 7.5, reading and listening was 8.0. My writing was 6.5 (which I am currently studying to improve further). Yey!

[wasaimary]

I got my results today L-8.5, R-8.5, S-8.0, W-7.0 and I just came on here to say thank you, 1 and half week of preparation with your videos and they were all so helpful. Thank you E2
