In general, we don't recommend the use of most free online IELTS study materials - your IELTS score is too important.

Much of the free IELTS materials online is not written by qualified IELTS teachers, and in some cases by non-native English speakers with poor English skills. Of course, non-native English speakers might have excellent English skills, but a lot of what we see is unpublishable - except on the internet.

Our advice is to check the source first.

But why not go to the best free resource on the net? IELTS itself. Of course, they don't give tips and tricks to "beat" their own test, but the Handbook itself is essential reading:

www.ielts.org/pdf/Information_for_Candidates_2007.pdf (Apparently, the 2007 link is to the latest IELTS Handbook.)

Also, http://ielts.org/test_takers_information/test_sample.aspx

And the best free IELTS resource on the net? http://www.cambridgeesol.org/teach/ielts/ ...but come back soon. OK?
