I had just one week to prepare for my IELTS, the sample tests and questions were good for preparation but I didn't not have the time to practice.
Simone shared the Ace the IELTS book and the tips were of great help.My score wasn't what I wanted but its was good enough. I highly recommend the book!

I wanted to pass the IELTS examination and I have been living in English speaking country for more than 5 years so I thought this would be really easy for me, but I WAS WRONG!!

I have purchased this book 2 months before to get to know more about the examination. The tips that have been provided in this book helped me a lot, really. The author, Simone Braverman, has used the language in such a way that it is very easy to understand. Initially when I started I was able to score 5 bands but after 2 months of practice and following the tips provided in this book, now I am able to score 7.5 - 8.5 bands, easily. Now I am ready for the test and I will be giving the test next month.

To do all these, I never used the paid instructor or classes, I just followed the book and now I am happy with the outcome. I recommend this book to everyone who is new to IELTS.

If, like me, you too are looking to score high bands on all parameters in IELTS, then this is the best book to read. It has everything we need - tips, tricks and suggestions, examples and so much more. The book is divided into different sections as per the test and covers each section in great detail. Preparing for a test is definitely crucial however knowing where we can go wrong is equally important. This book covers all the possible mistakes we might make while answering. I actually found out so many of my own flaws that were keeping me from scoring good marks. So, I would recommend this book for all the people who, like me, are going to appear for their IELTS exam.

私はカナダ在住です。移民取得のためこの本を使いIELTSを学習しております。今までは日本語の参考書を使用していましたが本番に慣れるためAll Englishのこの本を選びました。この本は主に問題を解くコツが載っていて練習問題は少なめですがスピーキングの例題が多いのは助かりました。また併せて筆者が運営しているIELTS-Blogの練習問題も学習することをお薦めします。

I mostly used this for help with the listening and the reading; even though I was doing the academic and not the general. The advice on how to manage your time during the reading test was particularly helpful.

watch out, though because some of the information in this book is NOT true. For instance, they tell you that spelling mistakes don't count in the listening part which is just not true.

Google the latest test rules and regulations yourself and don't rely on any information that didn't come from a certified Cambridge/British council source.

Buono per chi vuole avere un'idea su come siano strutturate le varie parti di questo esame prima di sostenerlo e fare pratica mirata in tal senso.
Di certo non un libro che insegna l'inglese, ma nel suo genere è molto utile e ben fatto.
