It took 6 months ,4 attempts and more than 50k for me to get an overall band score of 8.0 despite being a naturally eloquent person.Everytime I tried I lost for either listening/reading by 0.5 score...after the third attempt I felt devastated..I almost gave up.I couldnt figure out what to do next, as immigration was my long time dream...My CRS dropped from 475 to 414 with the marginal difference of 0.5....Somehow I managed to attempt for one last time,but after the exam I felt I'll lose for Listening as it was too tricky...I was hopeless again ,finally while looking for my result I started shivering,I was too weak to handle another failure but I realized I had to face it,no matter what and I checked my results ,I saw the overall score of 8.0 ,I scrolled down to see the magic number ..I could not believe my eyes,I had finally made it...

I dreamt of seeing this on the screen for months finally my hardwork paid off.I want to tell you all,to be persistent...just know you are getting closer to your dream.Even if you are confident about your lanugage skills ,you might be making silly mistakes on the day of exam out of stress,dont panic..Just believe,Life doesnt end here.The most important thing for IELTS is to remain composed on the exam day,no matter hw hard you prepare ,if you panic on the exam day ,you will lose for sure also once you feel exhausted after giving 3 or more attempts in a row give yourself a break ,take some time and then prepare.Good luck to all and I really hope you all get the desired score soon.....
