How’s it going with your preparation…

[Silverobama]

I haven’t seen Ivy for a month. I saw her tonight. A month ago she told me she was preparing her IELTS test and would take the test this or next month. I said to her “It’s been a while” and asked her:

How’s it going with your preparation of the IELTS?

Is the sentence natural?
