Q:

What is special about the IELTS books you offer?

   

A:

101 Helpful Hints for IELTS was developed to provide extensive test practice for intending IELTS candidates. There are two versions of the course book - 101 Helpful Hints for IELTS – Academic Module and 101 Helpful Hints for IELTS – General Training Module.

It is not so easy to succeed in the IELTS test. Some will find it easier than others. It is a challenging test. All candidates need to use a great many skills to score well; skills that you can develop with hints and exercises especially written for that purpose.

Q:

Some websites guarantee all you need is a few hours to learn the "secrets" of IELTS.

   

A:

They lie. They guarantee only one thing – that you will be wasting your hard-earned money.

 

 

Q:

What is the difference between the International and the Australasian versions of the books?

   

A:

Our practice book, 202 Useful Exercises for IELTS comes in two versions, the 202 Useful Exercises for IELTS – Australasian Edition, or the 202 Useful Exercises for IELTS – International Edition.

The Australasian Edition contains references to Australia and the Asian region; the International Edition references are mainly to Britain and Europe. If you study in Australia, or intend to come to Australia, the Australasian Edition is the practice book for you.

 

Q:

What does the 404 book contain?

   

A:

We now offer the 404 Essential Tests for IELTS – International Edition which contains four complete and thoroughly trialled practice tests for either the Academic or General Training Modules of IELTS.

 

Q:

Can I study from the IELTS books and tapes by myself?

   

A:

Yes. Unlike most other publications available, you do not necessarily need a teacher to help you complete the practice tests in our book 101 Helpful Hints for IELTS or the English exercises contained in the companion book 202 Useful Exercises for IELTS. With careful attention to the hints that are linked to the practice test questions, you can quickly discover how the answers in the Listening and the Reading Tests are obtained.

404 Essential Tests for IELTS – International Edition also contains a detailed Score Analyser and Score Interpreter to assist you to discover where you are making errors and set a realistic time frame to prepare for an IELTS test.

 

Q:

Where can I get more material to help me study for the IELTS test?

   

A:

If you have copies of the 101 Helpful Hints for IELTS, 202 Useful Exercises for IELTS, and 404 Essential Tests for IELTS, then you already have enough material to help you "pass" the test.

If you want more, then why not join our new IELTS Online Course?

It is by far the most comprehensive and interactive online IELTS course available today.

 

Q:

How many hours of study are there in your two IELTS publications?

   

A:

Over 11 hours of practice test material in 101 Helpful Hints for IELTS and 50-100 hours of practice exercises in the practice book 202 Useful Exercises for IELTS.

The four practice tests in the 404 Essential Tests for IELTS – International Edition will take approximately 2 hours 45 minutes each to complete, and you will spend many more hours checking with the answers and tapescripts and thoroughly studying the reading passages.

 


 

Q:

How quickly can I increase my level of English?

   

A:

It depends on how often you study and how willing you are to practise. In general, you should count on having to study for 3 months (intensive practice 5-6 hours per day, preferably at a language school) to increase your Band Score by one level.

 

Q:

Do you have other IELTS material on offer?

   

A:

Why not download our free exercises now? Of course, they cannot substitute for the advice and practice in the books we provide, but they are valuable nonetheless.
