IELTS for Academic Purposes: a short intensive course! This IELTS course has been written to help you prepare for the Academic version of the IELTS exam.The course can be used in two main ways: if you're studying in a classroom with the IELTS teacher, or if you're studying on your own at home.

The main aim of this IELTS book is to help you get as high an Overall Band Score as possible. The Overall Band Score is the number (from 0 to 9) that you get on your Test Results Form after the IELTS exam.

To achieve this, our aims are to:
