A MUST FOR EVERY IELTS ASPIRANT First of all, I would like to send my sincere thanks to both authors Simone and Robert for their wonderful work they have contributed to the academic world as well as to the global IELTS learners. I am happy to give all 5 stars for rating, even more than that. After using a series of the books (IELTS 5 Practice Tests, Academic Set 4, 5 and 6, High Scorer's Choice), I myself find that the books are excellent for a lot of reasons as follows: The content of the tests are wonderful and helpful for the IELTS learners, teachers or even for self-study, which is close to the real test, to some, more than the real test if learners/teachers go through them thoroughly. The test questions focus on all important four macro-skill techniques which help learners revise them all and gain deep understanding of the strategies. In addition, the authors provide clear explanations for each answer, making learners feel at ease with their learning and giving more motivation for the learners towards achieving higher scores as the books say. The structure/format/design of the tests, answers and scripts are friendly and clear. This helps learners follow up everything quite easily and improve their skills much faster, for example, it is easy to practice scanning, skimming, finding synonyms and paraphrases under the format/design of the tests. The authors provide an excellent tool for learners and teachers with their speaking commentaries after the three speaking parts. Hence, if the learners pay attention to these remarks, they can learn quite a lot for themselves, such as vocabularies, natural speech, fluency, quick response, etc, and train themselves to be like the candidates. In this respect, they can improve their scores, but remember practice also makes perfects. Learners cannot just listen to the candidates without practice and think they can gain a good score. The authors are so supportive. I contacted the authors and received strong support from the authors who sent me good advice for sorting out technical problems whilst using my Kindle PC. Moreover, they have given me some special teaching materials plus with their advice which would be effective for my teaching. I do owe them my big thanks and hugs. In short, the books stimulate the real IELTS exam. They are a MUST for IELTS aspirants and teachers. I am so happy with my purchase and I strongly recommend these books. If you do have any doubts, contact the authors for your certainty.

The book, IELTS 5 Practice Tests Academic Set 3, covers a lot of IELTS techniques. To be specific, listening sections help learners how to use synonyms, to paraphrase, to take note, etc..Reading enriches students' vocabularies, strengthens skills, such as, scanning, skimming, summarizing...The speaking brings learners very close to the real IELTS exams, and topics also up-to-date. Writing tasks are challenging but quite useful. In addition, learners can use the suggested answers for further understanding of the test questions. They are clearly presented and well-structured. Learners are able to gain a lot more for their needs, and specific areas of detail to work on in order to raise their individual proficiency. It is a really good book for purchase I would recommend.
