'I was able to get pretty high marks in IELTS. For that British council helped me. Environment is peaceful'.

Dr Arukatti Patabandige Arjuna Upashantha, Overall Band Score 8.5

'I have seen the IELTS exam have been advertised in a lot of places. But I always thought that British Council was the most reputable place. I didn’t want to take any risk with any other establishment. I always thought that the British Council is the safest place.'

Mr Kumudu Manohara De Silva, Overall Band Score 9

'I didn’t know much about the format of the exam, so I attended the one-day workshop. That was really helpful. At least I got to know about different sections, the timing and the marking strategies and things like that. I used the membership I got with the library, so in the run-up to the exam I did a couple of papers there which gave me confidence.'

Ms Tanisha Isharie Panditharatne, Overall Band Score 8.5
