I’m thinking of starting a program to help candidates move from a 7.0 to a 9.0 IELTS score.

I need your help with the name. The program will feature the number 729 to represent the journey from 7 to (2) 9.

I have a few options for the name, which I’ll present to you in the form of a poll.

By the way, how long do you think it might take to go up from 7.0 to 9.0?

I know I am not expecting any test results, but I still get the chills every time I get a text message from Edu Action 😃
