Buy yourself a good book for IELTS. It's not a waste of money if it will help you with your exam. If you get a good quality study aid you can always sell it when you have finished with it.
Here's my list of the five best.
1. IELTS Trainer
This book leads you through six practice IELTS exams step by step.
- Brilliant step by step guide
- Answers clearly explained
- Quite difficult BUT the IELTS exam is DIFFICULT
- Expensive... but worth it!
2. The IELTS series (1-10)
- These books are full of exams and answers
- They don’t explain HOW or WHY in the answers
- A good way to start studying for IELTS exams
- Some nice samples of student writing at the back of each book.
3. Cambridge Official IELTS exams
The OFFICIAL guide to IELTS- Step by step instructions on each part of the exam
- Lots of material and activities to do
- Great listening sections
- Quite DIFFICULT but that's GOOD
4. Official IELTS practice materials
Great practice exams here from Cambridge- IELTS exams that are on A4 paper!
- Authentic practise papers
- Not much help with technique here BUT a great place to start your IELTS studies
5. Teach yourself IELTS reading – Richard L King
The first book in the series explains how students can build up reading techniques. It has two sample IELTS reading exams at the back.
- Simple and valuable techniques to develop reading.
- Clear explanations.
- Easy to follow
- Great value for money!
