Clarie - iPass student of the month
Clarie is a registered nurse from The Philippines who needed to pass IELTS with a minimum of band 7 in each component in order to apply for the NMC in the UK.
Like many others in her position, Clarie found it relatively easy to get the required score in speaking, reading and listening, but always got stuck with 6.5 in the writing test. After completing the IELTS Lite course and getting feedback from her iPass tutors, Clarie realised that she still needed to improve her writing skills to get the required band 7.
So she went on to take another course - Writing Plus - so that she could really perfect her writing skills and go into her next IELTS test with real confidence, knowing that she was now capable of getting the score she needed.
And we’re very happy to say that in the test she took last month, she actually exceeded her own expectations and increased her writing score by a complete band, from 6.5 to 7.5.
Needless to say, this was fantastic news for Clarie and she was very relieved that she wouldn’t have to repeat the IELTS test again, but instead can focus on her nursing career and her exciting move to the UK!
Everyone on the iPass team wishes Clarie all the best with her future plans!
