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.
