IELTS 7.5 in 9 Days — The CBSE Student's Guide to German University Admissions
On April 7, 2026, I started IELTS preparation from zero. On April 16, I scored Band 7.5 — Listening 8.0, Reading 8.5, Writing 6.5, Speaking 6.5. I had nine days. I am a CBSE student. I was applying to a German university.
This guide is everything I learned, everything I would have done differently, and everything that actually moved my score — written specifically for students exactly like me.

This is not a generic IELTS guide.
Every tip is specific. Every resource is rated honestly. The story is real and the score is verifiable.
Most German universities require 6.0–6.5. A Band 7.5 puts you above every German university's requirement. That's the target. This guide shows you how to get there.
