What does it take to score IELTS Band 8.0?

How easy is it to score IELTS Band 8.0? Well, obviously the answer is "not very easy", but we work with dozens of  students who are able achieve this score each year. Today, Nick and I discuss  what you can do to help move up to a Band 8.0.  We will  go through each part of the exam, offering our advice as to what you should be focussing on to move from a 7.0 in each area. A Band 8.0 is not a score that everyone can achieve, but if you have the underlying language skills, it really is possible!
