3.0 out of 5 stars Pricey, but contains helpful advice, June 24, 2001

By

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: The IELTS Tutor (book & video set) (Paperback)

This short video and accompanying booklet contain some valuable hints that may help you during the test. The hints will help you focus on your task during the writing section and the oral examination, and will also save you precious time during the reading comprehension examination.

However, the pack has many shortcomings, too. It does not contain much practice material (there's nothing at all for the listening comprehension part), and thus it forces you to look for such somewhere else (happily, there's ample practice material on the Internet). Besides that, its entire focus is on the Academic version of the exam, while the General exam (which features different reading and different essay types) is totally ignored.

The bottom line is that although the advice in the video and the booklet might end up helping you to one extent or the other, the package is simply too costly for what it delivers.

This review is from: The IELTS Tutor (Book and CD-ROM Kit) (Paperback)

I am an IELTS teacher. This CD-Rom and book are excellent in that they really help students to understand the requirements of the IELTS test. It is full of helpful suggestions and if the instructions and tips contained in this publication,are carefully
followed and practiced it will definitely prove to be a very useful study aid. My students think it is so helpful that I decided to write this review so that others can benefit from this CD-Rom and book.
