By 3 November, 74 BUA students had received results from the four-skill EduZMS Benchmark, with an average estimated band of 5.1. The Benchmark gives students a starting point for planning their practice before taking IELTS.
James also presented BUA with a copy of each of the IELTS 20 and IELTS 21 preparation guides he helped write with New Channel (新航道), giving the university two more resources to support students preparing for IELTS.
