Hi Ryan,
I have scored 8.5 in both listening and reading , but scored 7.5 and 7 in speaking and writing respectively. I had been trying to get 7 in writing for last six months and finally scored 7 . I want to know is it possible to get 8 in all sections of Ielts. If yes, how can I do that . I mean what I have to concentrate on . As far as I can remember , I have revised grammar more than four times and I have been learning variety of vocabulary words , but I don't know where I am lacking . Please help me .

Hi Penny,

You pose a very broad question. Yes, of course it is possible to score band 8 (or even 9!) in each section. For speaking and writing, you likely will need coached guidance. Join one of the Skype study groups online and look into getting a writing coach that knows the exam well.

Good luck,
Ryan
