IELTS Books

Luckily, there are many excellent resources available to help you prepare for the IELTS exam. Depending on your language level, you could use them alone, for self-study, or as extra practice to supplement what you learn with a teacher or in class. Remember that for writing and speaking, the feedback of a real teacher is invaluable.
