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: |
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. |

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

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.

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. |
