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 is only a IELTS introduction vedio with a small booklet. There is no excercise questions at all. I am very dissappointed!

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.

This video and book you must study. The best section is the writing which gave me many helpful things I can remember to pass. Also good reading tips and many speach helping ideas.

This study kit is very, very useful. It will help you to know what to do to get a good score. It has helped me!

This material is designed for Academic exam but I used it for General Training. The video is about 30min length.

The booklet is quite thin but the writing section is excellent with technics to write clear separate paragraphs. The thinking guide is great to have inspiration and arguments to develop in the task 2 essays. Three excellent task 2 essays are presented in that section.

The booklet does not cover the listening component of the test but the video gives a few tips about how to manage that. Three other components are as well covered by the tape as by the booklet.

Athough one can learn a lot from this tutor, I don't think this sole material will suffice to succeed the real test. I think it is vital to have real teachers for training you in the 4 components of the test before you sit for the real one.

Good luck

I am very disappointed that IELTS tutor does not provide with comprehensive exercises especially in Listening and Speaking. It's very essential to practice Listening with a CD-ROM. Moreover, the book's fonts are so tiny and does not have the helpful tips and lots of exercises. After studying the book and CD, the student is left without a skill on how to attack the test efficiently and effectively. A waste of time and money!

Contains inaccuracies - there's plenty more books on the market which have better info than this one.

This study kit is vry, very useful. It will help you to know what to do to get a good score. It has helped me!

It is really short but gives very useful tips to the students.From my opinion they should add one more speaking test interveiw.
