The two reasons why students fail IELTS:
2. IELTS Exam Skills
IELTS Exam skills are unique to the exam, and are not directly language related.
You might fail the writing exam because:
- You cannot generate ideas or you suffer from “my mind goes blank”.
- You struggle to organise your thoughts into strong coherent paragraphs.
- You have challenges to write two essays in 60 minutes (on a topic you probably know nothing about!).
Unless you have solved these problems you will continue to fail IELTS.
I know this because I have helped hundreds, possibly thousands of IELTS students pass IELTS (I’ll explain more later in this page), and I can help you pass too.

Hi, Ben
Happy New Year and here’s the good news!
I pass the exam with an overall 8, and 7 for writing, 7.5 for speaking!!! Thank you so much and the whole IELTS Podcast team. I would have not achieved this without your help. With this email, I’d like to share with you my story with IELTS and how I came to know you.
I first started to take IELTS in early 2017, then about a year later in 2018 and I started to take the exam quite intensively at the end of 2018, because I wanted to pass it as soon as possible, as you might know I lose marks with immigration as I get older year by year. However, my writing was stopping me from passing the IELTS. I got 6.5 for three times. That was when I began to really think I might have missed something or I might have made some mistake. Before I came to the IELTS Podcast, I did mock tests using the official test preparation books and self-mark my results.
I’d say after about two or three months of intensive self-training using your materials and methods, I finally scored 7 with my writing. Actually I scored 7.5 in writing in the first time and 7 in the second time, so it proves that what you are teaching is definitely working!!
Yours sincerely,
Weiyan
