Thus may become possible due to globalisation as well as to the educational and professional opportunities available in the international field. The present work analyses efficient learning-to-learn strategies, plentiful educational resources and the influence of the professionally- prepared mentors during the preparation process. Moreover, common challenges encountered by pupils are being discussed and potential solutions are being proposed, the goal being improving the general performance and candidates’ increased self- confidence. Conclusions offer recommendations for the optimal target group’s preparation, by outlining the importance of the individual approach and ongoing support for the aspired results in the IELTS examination.
