"Barron's IELTS" by Dr. Lin Lougheed
"IELTS Practice Tests Plus 2" by Vanessa Jakeman and Clare McDowell

People like
  • The tests are very close to the real IELTS test in terms of format, design and level of difficulty. They give a perfect idea of what to expect in the IELTS exam.
  • The score a student gets in Cambridge IELTS 6 tests is a good estimate of a score in a real exam.
  • These tests help the test taker to find out his weak skills and work on them.
  • There are model answers for the Writing test (3 essays, 2 reports and 3 letters written by examiners) which give a clear idea of a good answer.
  • There are sample answers for the Writing test written by students and graded by the examiners. The tasks include three essays of Band 4, Band 6 and Band 7, two reports of Band 7 and Band 8, and one letter of Band 5. They help to understand what can cause a student to lose points in the Writing test.
People don’t like
In General
  • Tips and strategies for tasks handling in IELTS exam, together with time management techniques are a must for optimizing a student’s score. Cambridge IELTS 6 doesn’t offer anything of that kind, only the tests.
Practice tests:
  • There are less General Training practice tests (only 2) than Academic Module (4 tests).
  • The General Training tests contain only Reading and Writing sections.
  • It is also difficult to understand how to perform well in Speaking because there are no sample answers for it.
  • There is no CD with the book, which makes the Listening tests useless. The CD can be ordered separately.

People like

  • The book provides good explanation of all the task types and gives clear instructions how to handle questions of each type. It points out and focuses the student on the issues important to optimize the test score.
  • The answer key for Listening and Reading has explanations why those answers are the correct ones - very important feature in IELTS self-preparation.
  • Has British alternatives to American spelling (as footnotes) – because both are acceptable in IELTS and students need to be aware of that.
  • The price is modest as compared to other books for IELTS preparation.

People don’t like

In General

  • The answer key is not very well organized and doesn’t cover all of the examples in the book.

Reading module

  • There are no examples of text from General Training module.

Writing module

  • There are no specific descriptions or instructions for all the Writing task types, some types are covered, some are not.
  • The book is more Academic module oriented, especially in the writing section. There are more examples and tasks for the Academic writing than for General Training.

Practice tests

  • There are less General Training practice tests (only 2) than Academic Module (4 tests)
  • It is difficult to understand how to score well in IELTS writing because there are no marked letters, essays or reports.
  • There are no Audio files on CD for the Listening tests 2 – 4, which makes them useless.

Conclusion: The book helps you to get familiar with the test structure and teaches you how to approach IELTS tasks. The practice tests help to master the skills you’ve learned. It is probably more suitable for the Academic IELTS than for General Training module.
