Today you’ll learn from self-taught learner Thiago’s 7.5 on IELTS!
You met Thiago in a previous episode, because he was the Writing Wizard Winner.
Then, he surpassed the scores he needed on his first IELTS Exam!
He got 8.5 on Listening, 7.5 on Reading, 7 on Writing and 7 on Speaking, for an overall 7.5!
And these amazing scores are all due to hard work and online learning, as he has never been in an English classroom!
Thiago hustled through his IELTS learning with our course, The 3 Keys IELTS Success System.
He notes that preparing for IELTS is a grind– it requires a huge commitment.
To stay motivated through this process, he visualized himself in Canada.
Even on test day, he overcame his anxiety by keeping this bigger dream for himself and his family in his mind. Once he got the first answer, though, he calmed down and performed at his best.
We have an idiom that describes this situation- you can’t see the forest through the trees. This means that it’s hard to perceive the bigger picture when we are so focused on present anxieties and details.
