In the month of August I have taken the official IELTS exam and I have achieved the score I needed to present in the total Master 7 out of 9 and they have told me that it is equivalent to C1. I am super happy because a friend had recommended this academy to me and I want to thank it because it has been very useful.
Alberto
Some friends told me about TLA and I didn't really want to do the online course, but I decided because my friends were very happy. My experience has also been very positive because the material is very good, it is very well organized and the teacher I have had knew very well the contents of the exam.
Helena
Thanks to TLA I have managed to overcome the 5.5 that I had already taken before without having prepared myself and now after the course, I have raised my score to 6.5 and that is what I wanted for ERASMUS. I really liked how the materials, the tests and the strategies that have made me improve in each section of the exam are presented.

Test format: listening comprehension (30 minutes).
You will listen to four recordings in English and then you will have to answer a series of questions.
