Barron's IELTS with Audio CDs: International English Language Testing System

Barron's for IELT

by Lin Lougheed

The IELTS is taken by over 1.2 million people and is internationally recognized by more than 6,000 institutions in 120 countries. IELTS test scores are used as a measure of English language proficiency by educational institutions, government departments and agencies, and professional organizations. This revised and updated test preparation manual for ESL students covers all parts of the IELTS and all of its question types: multiple-choice, short answer, sentence completion, flowchart completion, graphs, tables, making notes, summarizing, labeling diagrams and maps, classification, matching, and selecting from a list. The manual also offers four practice tests that reflect the most recent actual tests. The book’s tests come with audio for all four tests, answers, and listening and reading modules with answer keys.

یکی از بهترین کتابهای آموزش زبان انگلیسی که خوندم متن ریندینگها آنقدر قشنگن که آدم رو خسته نمیکنند و اون پارتهایی که خانواده لغت رو می‌گفت خیلی قشنگ بود کامل برای آدم جا میفتاد و لیستنینگ هاش همون ریدینگها نبود بلکه یه نوع بحث در مورد ریدینگ بودن و این مورد برام خیلی جالب بود. انگار اون لغات رو در دو متن با فرمت‌های مختلف ولی مفاهیم یکسان یاد می‌گرفتی یعنی یه مجموعه لغت به دوشکل ریدینگ و لیستنینگ

I'm glad that I bought this book. I used it for studying for my ielts exam and I got an outstanding score which is more than I expected to get. I think that the most important thing that helped me is the four complete practice tests on all the sections. I'm satisfied :D

I have the 2010 version. I could practice the reading and writing passages but it might be applicable for the current exam.

This book is great as a starter for those who are still trying to figure out the structure and format of IELTS. However, for those who have already familiar with the test system and just want to do some practice, the questions provided in this book are way too easy compared with the real IELTS questions.

[Christopher Pell · Rating 2 out of 5]

Although Barrons is a big publishing company, they are not an IELTS company. As such, there is general information about the test but nothing to help students with their specific needs.

Some of the advice is also misleading.

This book isn't the best way to prepare for IELTS.

depending on personal experience . you can use this book papers to dry your wet hands or to wipe your as* , but don't ever use it for IELTS . i solved every question written in this book . I took every exam made to estimate my scores . but they all were way far from reality . believe me when i tell you that this book is old and the IELTS test difficulty has changed , well ,not too much ,but much enough to make this book worthless .

It's an OK book. I think, the practice tests still a bit easier than the real exam .
