Target Band 7: How to Maximize Your Score (IELTS Academic Module)

Target Band 7: How to Maximize Your Score (IELTS Academic Module)
This excellent self-study book for intense IELTS preparation in a few weeks is designed to help students achieve their best personal score. All the tips, techniques, strategies and advice are focused on maximizing students’ score by increasing their task-solving speed and efficiency, and preventing typical mistakes.

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 Self-study Pack provides students with an excellent opportunity to familiarise themselves with IELTS and to practise examination techniques using authentic test material from Cambridge ESOL. The Student's Book with answers contains four complete tests for Academic candidates, plus extra Reading and Writing modules for General Training candidates. An introduction to these different modules along with a comprehensive section of answers and tapescripts makes the material ideal for students working partly or entirely on their own.
