Content of the book

The book contains four complete sample IELTS tests, each comprising Listening and Speaking modules and Academic Reading and Writing modules.

In addition there is one set of the General Training Reading and Writing modules. (NB all candidates do the same Listening and Speaking modules.)

To accompany the tests there is an answer key at the back of the book and you should refer to this after you have attempted each of the practice tests. Also included is an annotated copy of the listening typescripts with the appropriate sections highlighted to help you to check your answers. In addition, you will find one model answer for each type of writing task to guide you with your writing. There is a comprehensive key for the Reading and Listening sections, but if you are in any doubt about your answers, talk to a teacher or an English speaking friend. Where you are required to answer in your own words, the answer must be accurate in both meaning as well as grammar in order to be scored correct.
