Staff Reporter, Dhaka : British Council IELTS has recently launched a new service, IELTS Ready: Premium, providing innovative support for those preparing to take an IELTS test with the British Council. The IELTS Ready: Premium platform is powered by GEL – a leading provider of digital learning in English Language Teaching based in London.

The new platform will include 40 IELTS mock tests, recorded classes and fully supported native English-speaking IELTS experts. Users can perfect their IELTS preparation with practice tests in both timed and untimed formats, with all answers analysed to inform the most useful exercises for test-takers to practice.

Through IELTS Ready: Premium, test-takers can access writing practice with model answers to show what examiners are looking for to achieve the required scores. They will receive feedback on every reading and listening question and tailored support on their identified areas of improvement. Familiarisation videos will allow test-takers to better prepare for the tests.

Test-takers will receive unlimited free access to IELTS Ready: Premium from the time they register for IELTS with the British Council up to their test. The platform achieved high user satisfaction and engagement among test-takers during a successful pilot period. 97% of users said it helped them achieve their desired score, and 98% stated they would recommend the service to others.

Andrew Mackenzie, Director of IELTS, British Council, said, “We want to give our IELTS test-takers every tool we can to achieve their ambitions of living, working or studying overseas. We are therefore excited to launch IELTS Ready: Premium to help them feel fully prepared and have the best chance to fulfil those dreams.”
