Edvantage bolsters IELTS readiness for Kuwaiti students

KUWAIT CITY, Aug 6: Born out of a shared passion for education and empowerment, Edvantage has been making strides in its mission to prepare Kuwait’s youth for the global stage. The local startup’s most recent initiative, the IELTS Mock Exam Experience, held in collaboration with Australian University (AU) on July 22, 2023, stands as a testament to this commitment. The event’s results highlighted a pressing need. With an average score of 3.8 out of 9, the results highlighted the necessity of focused preparation and guidance. In 2022, Kuwait’s average IELTS score was 5.5, lagging behind the global average of 6.3.

The IELTS Mock Exam Experience aims to provide students with an authentic exposure to the IELTs, a key standardized test that many international institutions require for admissions. By simulating an exam environment, the initiative aims to alleviate students’ test anxieties and identify their areas for improvement. Alongside personalized feedback, participants receive one-on-one postexam consultations and a select group benefit from a comprehensive 2-week IELTS preparatory course. These efforts underline the program’s commitment to helping students succeed.
