Review
Amazing course.
Really improve my Reading score for my actual test.
I love this course, it has every IELTS students need to know about it. Lots of examples and the most important, the instructor teaches you how to answer.
Reading module was always a bit difficult to me personally, compared to the others. I feel confident now and hoping for the best.
Initially, I found this course a bit monotonous, however, later i could able to understand the tricks and guidance provided. My understanding about the types of questions and way to answering them..has improved a lot.
I presented the Academic IELTS exam last May and I got 6.5 in reading with a lot of complications. Then, I took this course, and I presented the exam again, this August, and I got 8.0 easily, without overthinking.
