Katiem Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hi everyone, I know there are lots of threads already about IELTS and I have trawlled through these but I'm looking for some specific advice which I've not found through reading. I have to sit the Academic IELTS and score 7 as part of my skills assessment (Accountancy). I'm someone that likes to prepare for these sort of things, so I'm looking to buy some kind of practice kit and have a read before I book an exam date. Can anyone recommend a good guide? I think I'll feel much more confident about it once I've seen an actual example of the exam itself. I've seen the online informaton but it's just not the same for me :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katiem Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Thank you Ah yes, I saw the Cambridge 8 book but wasn't sure if it covered both types of exams and there were so many different books out there too. Just wasn't sure where to start. :smile: I'll pm dave1980 as suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
