Hi,

Results out and I got 7.5 overall band.
Reading = 8
Listening = 7
Writing = 7
Speaking = 7.5

I am satisfied as I needed 7 in each band and this was my very first IELTS attempt so I am glad that I am through :-)

I followed Ryan's techniques only on the writing and I give full creadit to Ryan and his material for this. I had many friend who even got overall 8 and 8.5 but could not get more than 6.5 in writing. Ryan's techniques simply proven and work :-)

All the best to everyone.

Regards
Asmi
