Brilliantly written. Simple style. Easy to tackle. I have my IELTS exam next week and I'm almost confident this book will be of a great help in acing my test. I'd given it 4 stars for now, however, I'll be willing to give it the 5th when I get a high band score as guaranteed in the book. I would highly recommend it for everyone preparing for their ILETS exam especially those with limited time and busy working hours.

Thanks to the tips I was able to reach band 8! It is a easy and helpful book to prepare for IELTS and to get a better score!

Actually, I wasn't expecting to get such useful and working advice from this book but they work! Firstly, I was reading this book superficially and wasn't satisfied at all due to the fact that all the techniques were basic and simple. That was completely my fault. I shouldn't have expected any mysterious and marvelous methods to deal with both reading and speaking sections. All I had to do is just be patient and highlight the tips that looked odd at first, but they made sense with time.
I gave only 4 stars because writing section seemed unfinished and it didn't cover all the things you need to keep in mind during the exam. Overall, the purchase is very affordable and it contains many things that you need to pay attention to in order to ace the IELTS.

I loved how it shows us the significant point per section and includes all of the detail, such as what should we do when the writing section was the simple line graph. The main points are well summarized, easy to follow and understand. This book helped me know how to start writing, since I didn't know what to write first when I saw the complicated graph. I give five stars since this book had definitely helped me improving my wiring score of IELTS.

This is one of the best books that helped me to gain 7+ overall of my IELTS.

Really the new edition is an add on to the improved knowledge that anyone can get through this edition

[Henry · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book can summarize what I need to pay attention on each of 4 sessions of my IELTS exam. It not only gives me an example of each type of questions in detail, but also provides me a list of high-level vocabularies or sentences to memorize for the exam. At the end, I can also practise on each kind of questions that were illustrated previously. That can ensure I fully utilize what I understand from the earlier part of illustration.

I purchased the digital version of this book recently. At first, it looked very simple and full of the basics for IELTS success which many readers are already familiar with. However, these are the areas where the candidates fail most of the time. The writer has focused on those mistakes and instructed in an easy language on how to avoid the pitfalls. It seems that following the guidelines and regular practice, an IELTS examinee is expected to score at least one point higher with the help of this book.

This is the most magical Self-study IELTS book I've ever read.
Yes you may think it has nothing outstanding by judging its cover or a few first page, but believe me, my reading band score before reading this one was only somewhere below 7.5 but after finishing this, it's soared up to 8.0 and even more!

A highly recommended book!

[Reza · Rating 4 out of 5]

کتاب خیلی خوبیه برای همه اسکیل ها ولی کتاب آموزشی برای اسکیل ها نیست و صرفا یکسری تکنیک هایی داره که با کمک اونها سوالات هر اسکیل رو میشه زودتر و راحت تر جواب داد

[Agostina · Rating 4 out of 5]

Extra useful for my next IELTS test and for improving my English band.

[Watyuyu115 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Personally, I can say that your book was so fundamental to my preparation that without it I think I would barely receive a 6. It has an excellent approach and I've already recommended it to all of my friends who think about taking the IELTS.

ブログと共に日々の勉強に役立てています。

[Yuki · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ieltsを受験する方に本当におすすめの本です。日本語なので理解もしやすく勉強に役立ちました！

[Shoichi Sato · Rating 5 out of 5]

無理に英語版読むよりも日本語版でのほうがテスト対策として適してました。最高の一冊だと思います。

[Ebaa · Rating 3 out of 5]

The truth is there are some useful information and tips that helped me in the book. However, in my opinion, if you want to get 7 score in the exam you need to study from different resources as well, because, the book doesn't cover every thing about the IELTS exam. Furthermore, there's no audio CD so I had to visit the website to practice the listening, unfortunately, the website didn't work for me.

[Safaa · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very good book. It gave me the full picture of the IELTS test.

[Johanna · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a good book to get a general idea of the IELTS tricks and tips but it's quite an old book so some of the links suggested are out of date.

[Julia · Rating 5 out of 5]

ライティングの例文がかなりの量のっているので、参考にしやすい！後ろの方にあった勉強スケジュールを使うことでやる気アップできた！

[Andi Ina · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is fantastic! With all tips and explanations, I really convinced to take the IELTS test later.
This is a book that I strongly suggest!!
