This review is from: Target Band 7: How to Maximize Your Score (IELTS Academic Module) (Paperback)

It is a VERY good book for the IELTS exam preparation. It is especially helpful for the first writing assignment (diagram/graph/chart) and speaking section. However, it is not a full textbook: no CDs for listening, no texts for reading, no trial test, etc. I used this book along with several textbooks ("101 Helpful Hints for IELTS" and "Action Plan") and Cambridge practice tests (7 and 6). This books gives a rather good strategy, but it shouldn't be used alone for preparation. BTW, I got 8 score at the exam!

This is the MUST HAVE book if you are preparing yourself for IELTS. I always thought IELTS is about proficiency in English but i was wrong. IELTS is all about techniques and strategies in answering the 4 components of IELTS.

I have purchased the e-book a few months ago but didn't have time to sit in front of the computer quietly to study. With the hardcopy available now, i can bring it along wherever i go and it's really handy. It not only provides me with the necessary knowledge to sit for the IELTS but also improve my English generally. Thanks Simone for writing this book and i highly recommend this book if you are preparing for IELTS.
