There are many books for IELTS preparation on the market but these are the standard books that you will need.
Recommended IELTS Books
Below are some recommended books for IELTS Test Preparation. The most crucial book to buy is the first one on the list below.
IELTS Cambridge Test Books: Essential!
You MUST practice from real IELTS test published by IELTS if you want to prepare fully for your test. The IELTS Cambridge test books contain past test papers published by IELTS. They are the only authentic tests you can get. Whether you write your answers on paper or on computer, the test is the same and these books are your source for full test practice.
- Which number book to buy? The higher the number, the most recent the book. But the test hasn’t changed for a long time so all numbers of books are fine to use.
- Everyone should do at least one full test at home before taking their real test. Use these books for that purchase.
- For speaking, the questions and topics in these books are very limited. Use my collection of topics which you can find on this page: ALL SPEAKING TOPICS, TIPS AND MODEL ANSWERS.
- Avoid websites that claim to have real tests – they are illegal copies and often the answer keys are wrong. If you want to use real test, use these books. Note: I am not connected with IELTS – it is fact that these are the only authentic tests you can get.
Where to buy: These books can be bought from any amazon online store. They can be bought new or second hand. It might also be possible to find them in your local book stores.
