You Don't Have To Be A Genius To Get A Band 7+ In IELTS
Just learn the ONE BIG THING the successful test takers know about getting a high score in IELTS - it makes all the difference.
Anyone who took IELTS in the past knows that the amount of effort you put into your preparation DOESN'T GUARANTEE a high score.
If you need to take the IELTS test in the nearest future and you are unsure how to make it a success, you are in the right place.
You are literally one step away from a book that is GUARANTEED to help you maximize your IELTS score. It helped thousands of students to score higher in IELTS, and it WILL help you - that's a promise.
There is a reason why you came here. Maybe you don't know how to achieve your target Band Score, or you're tired of endless studying with little results. Maybe you don't have an IELTS trainer in your town or can't find good IELTS books for self study. Maybe you're very busy with your professional life and looking for shortcuts, or want to ensure a high score because you can't afford failing another IELTS test.
No matter what your reason is, you are doing a very smart thing by seeking help. IELTS preparation can be long, exhausting, frustrating and not at all productive - or it can be much shorter, easier and the results can be a lot better. You just need to change one thing - the way you study.
You must get a high score in IELTS, and have no idea how to do it.
How do I know this? Because I've been there, too. If any of this describes your IELTS preparation, I've got great news for you: I've had it all. And I know how to help.
Between you and me, does this sound familiar?
Writing a good essay is hard, because you don't have enough ideas and they take long to generate. By the time you have something to write about, there is not enough time left to finish your writing. You have trouble expressing your thoughts and the sentences come out just wrong.
Coming up with ideas, linking them and using the right tone and vocabulary in your letters is so tricky! No wonder any letter takes you longer than 20 minutes to write.
I know what it's like to always run out of time in the Reading test, because the passages are hard to understand and the questions are confusing. It's upsetting when you can't read any faster and always lose time, or concentration, especially if the texts are long.
I, too, felt the frustration of losing points on grammar, because there is no time to check your answers. I understand the desperation of not being able to achieve you target Band score, no matter what you do.
Just like you, I used to get nervous while speaking, worried about my grammar or pronunciation, and was desperately looking for the right word to say. You are not the only one whose English is often misunderstood by people, and who is convinced that unless there is someone to practice in speaking with, they will never get better.
It's not just you, whose mind goes blank when you need to speak on a topic for 2 minutes, who's left with no ideas what to say or with no words in their vocabulary.
And it's not just you who panics in the Listening section, when they go too fast, or speak with an accent, or because it's hard to concentrate and you're afraid to miss the answers.
Let's leave all that in the past. You are about to be given a step-by-step guide to IELTS preparation, that will transform your studying from frustrating, labour-intensive, long, boring and hopeless experience into an effective, focused and a much shorter one.
But how can you beat the average? Is it possible?
Yes, it is definitely possible. You CAN beat the statistics and raise your score to Band 7, possibly Band 8 - or even Band 9.
IF you're willing to listen.
Any successful IELTS test-taker knows that ...
... there is NO magic way of getting a great score in the exam.
Here is the formula: Your success depends on one thing only - the way you solve the tasks. The way you answer the questions and write your letters and essays. And people, who know the right way, get higher scores. But people who don't - score average or below.
It's really that simple.
Good news is that anyone can learn the right way quickly and easily. Even better news is that in one moment you could have access to it.
You are literally one step away from a book that helped thousands of students score higher in IELTS. Your experience will be very similar.
This book is 100% GUARANTEED to maximize your IELTS score and transform your exam preparation from chaotic and frustrating to systematic, productive and enjoyable.

Specific techniques will help overcome the most extreme of test day jitters
There's an abundance of confidence building advice and learning material that will make the student want to practice and practice more - the key to ultimate IELTS success.
Ace is written in a style that urges the student to turn to the next page to see what other tips and gems are hidden. There are so many with every page devoted to provide must-know advice for exam success.
Each chapter/sub-section is completely autonomous vs others, this means the student can choose to focus on a specific area i.e. speaking, listening, reading or writing without compromising.
With strong advice/expertise to heed such as 'time' being the student's real worst exam-day enemy, the author advises the development of time-management skills, and to the minute.
If ever there was a one-stop shop of a study guide, this book fits the bill for students and their mentors alike.

Concise and useful tips to complete all test tasks well and on-time!
Dear Simone,
Thanks to your Ace the IELTS book,I have achieved the score that I need!
I would strongly recommend this book to all those who are going to sit the General Training exam. This book provides concise and useful tips to complete all test tasks well and on-time. Thanks again for recommending this great book to me.
Also, I would not have improved my writing skills so quickly without the help and advice from the teachers who performed the essay-checking service.
As you have highlighted, practice is the way to improve. I wrote a dozen essays and I have seen my score improve from 6.0 band to finally 7.5 band before I went for my test. And I achieved 7.5 in the test!
I would definitely recommend all my friends to use your blog if they need to do the IELTS.
After browsing through so many websites, yours is still the most comprehensive and useful. Thanks again for your help.

I didn't have the luxury of time for preparation... Your materials along with guidance and tips were the reason for my high score
I got my score today: Listening 8.5, Reading 9.0, Writing 8.0, Speaking 8.0, Total: 8.5
I must thank your book "Ace the IELTS" again. Your many practice materials along with guidance and tips were the reason for my high score.
When I first came to know that I had to take the IELTS test, I did not have the luxury of time for preparation. I started looking up on google for practice tests. There were just too many and it was overwhelming.
I came across your website and the comments from people gave me an impression that I should stick with this website and go according to the guidance from this one place. You were very right that no matter whether English was anybody's first language, preparation was the key to success. Until this point, I was little over-confident and was thinking about just going through freeware materials.
When I went through the first section (Listening), that is when I realized that I should get through the whole book, take the practice materials and really feel confident before taking the test. As soon as I got my copy of "Ace the IELTS", I started conquering each section. First and foremost, I found that I was not paying proper attention to instructions. I started getting better as I took more practice tests. Your tips on each section helped me. When I took Listening and Reading tests before starting to read your book, I was at band 5.5.
I started progressing and got better results by applying your tips. Underlining the key words of a question in Listening was the tip that helped me begin paying attention to the question and what to listen for. Not getting stuck in the past was another great tip what worked for me.
With Reading, underlining the key words again saved me time. I did all sorts of notes/markings to a passage that helped me understand quickly what the passage was about and what were the key elements described in a passage.
If I went back and looked at my preparation, I should grade my effort to be a moderate one. But the book helped me a lot with knowing the tricks to take the IELTS exam. I think the key was really going through your whole book and applying your tips in the exam.

I arrived to test center 20 minutes late... but my IELTS score is amazing!
Hi Simone,
Today I received my IELTS Score, and it's amazing. As you know, I bought your book just a week before the exam and I went through it just twice, especially through the writing and listening part.
On the day of my exam I was stuck in traffic on a highway while going to New Jersey because my exam was scheduled there.
I arrived to test center 20 minutes late, they were two more people late. Luckily, they allowed us to take the exam.
Even in that frustration I did well. That's all thanks to your book's excellent preparation methodology.
My score is:
Listening 7.5,
Reading 8.5,
Writing 6.5,
Speaking 7.0,
Total: 7.5
As Canadian immigration requires only 6.5, I am happy with my score.
All the credit goes to your book only. I love it and at the exam center I also recommended it to the people who were writing the exam. Thank you very much.

I have recommended the book to a lot of my friends for their IELTS preparation
I am so grateful that I found your book and blog to prepare myself for the exam, and now I won the test results competition, because my overall IELTS Band Score is 8.0!
Just to share with you, the book "Ace the IELTS" was the very first material that I relied on to self-study for the exam.
From the book, I learnt about IELTS-blog.com and then practiced my writing tasks based on writing samples on the blog.
Again thank you so much for all the helpful advice and materials that you have shared with us so that we all can work towards our IELTS goals.

In just a few days you will most definitely improve
As a native English speaker, it is clear that I have some major advantages in terms of what areas I need to focus on in order to pass the General Training module of the IELTS exam.
Two previous attempts had left me with three band 9's and a band 7 in writing, I needed a minimum of 8 in each section for immigration purposes and by now, I was both frustrated and anxious. This time, I would revise, I would learn how to pass this exam, I clearly needed to know the structure and how to avoid pitfalls. 'Ace the IELTS' helped me immensely and assisted in my transition from a Band 7 to an 8.5 in the writing section.
Thanks to simple practical guidelines, this book will help you breakdown the different types of writing questions asked. This is key to knowing how to answer in the format expected by the IELTS examiners. In just a few days, through great tips and strategies, varied scenarios, 'smart' words and some basic connecting structures; and with the help of concrete examples, full IELTS-like practice test and many links to web-based tests, you will most definitely improve.
Importantly, it is also affordable as there are many very expensive options out there and is therefore, a great starting point.

I scored a perfect 9 in reading!
Hi Simone,
Thanks to you I scored a perfect 9 in reading!
This was my second attempt. Although I had managed to get a decent overall score of 8 in my first attempt, the reading section in which I had scored 6.5 (due to a very common and stupid mistake of not reading instructions properly)was a cause of concern and I had to reappear again .
It was difficult to prepare for the exam again as I was working full time and had very little time to dedicate to IELTS this time around. Your books helped me immensely to work on my reading skills in a short span of time.
Thankfully I scored a perfect 9 in reading and an overall of 8 again in my second attempt. :)
I can now go ahead with my immigration process without any issues :)

There's a reason why this book is a best-seller!
Ace the IELTS is the book that came to me at the right time.
I had one month to prepare and I wanted straightforward, guaranteed tips and tricks to achieve the results I need. I ended up scoring a 9 overall!
Thank you Simone for the time and effort you put into this book. There's a reason why this book is a best-seller!

I am happy to have chosen the right material
I would like to convey my gratitude for all your support in helping me achieve this big milestone. I received my IELTS result and I feel proud to let you know that I achieved an overall band score of 8.
I can say without any hesitance that it was only with your help that I was able to achieve this score and I now have eligible points to apply for the Australian immigration. I am happy to have chosen the right material and partner in nurturing my skills and preparing me for the exam with confidence.

Your book and blog are doing an amazing thing
Hi Simone,
I am writing this to express my gratitude. I took a General Training IELTS test in July and scored 8.0.
I did not have much time to prepare. I just went through your book "Ace The IELTS", did all the exercises and completed 10 test sets. Thanks again for your guidance and help. Your book and blog are doing an amazing thing for everyone who is taking the test.

I was looking for Band 6.5 - 7 for my work permit and I got it
Hi Simone,
Yes, your tips were wonderful. They have helped me beat the traps in the IELTS Exam. I have just read your Ace book for notes and done close to 12 tests.
I was looking for Band 6.5 - 7 for my work permit and I got what I was looking for.
Thanks a million Simone, for all the support and for IELTS-Blog.com

After I purchased Ace the IELTS and started reading it, you opened my eyes
In the beginning, I was anxious, even scared. Nevertheless, after I purchased Ace the IELTS and started reading it, you opened my eyes.
I did a search through the internet looking for a course, which could lead me to a successful performance on the test. Then, I picked you from many sites, basically for two main reasons:
1. Your supportiveness.
For the last month, I have received a lot of real information, about real people, from real locations and absolutely free. You even have taken the time explaining different issues of the exam, providing links and tips.
2. Your encouraging attitude.
It is quite simple, you use the experiences and techniques of other successful people to motivate those like myself, who hesitate about our weaknesses.
Today, I feel confident.

I must be in heaven right now! Overall score - 8.0
I practiced sincerely for 15 days, 2 hours a day.
I went through all your reading test passages, various types and formats - to understand the reading test. I must say this helped me tremendously - I learnt to match the right paragraph to the right answers, especially the long paragraphs, where they try to confuse you.
I practiced writing many forms of letters and essays - based on your test samples. By day 13, I was much more confident than when I had started.
The much awaited results are out! What a relief! I must be in heaven right now! Thank you, thank you, thank you, so very-very much!
Listening - 8.5, Reading and Speaking - 8.0, Writing - 6.5, Overall score - 8.0!
I am over the moon! God bless you with the best life ever.

This is an excellent book that produces great results
I was fortunate to receive guidance from Simone, the author of "Ace The IELTS".
I had my chance to compare several IELTS books. My Band Score convinced me that this is an excellent book that produces great results.
It improved my Reading and Writing skills a lot and I was able to receive a much higher score in a very short time.
All you have to do is use those tips, follow the techniques, stick to study plan and practice.

The most useful resource of all the available materials
Just got my report in my hands. It turned to be far better than I've expected:
Listening 8.0
Reading 9.0
Writing 8.0
Speaking 7.0
Total: 8.0
Overall, I'm very impressed by "Ace the IELTS": it is very practical, yet short enough to be digested in a matter of hours, and leaves time and tips to focus on practicing that really matters. As I had only two weeks to prepare for the exam, "Ace the IELTS" was the most useful resource of all the available materials.

I was hesitant to buy your book, but good thing I did buy it
At first I was hesitant to buy your book, but good thing I did buy it. I'm actually getting anxious when taking tests, but your book appeased my anxiety and let me focus on getting a great score in the test. Your book guided me through the pitfalls and tricky questions when taking the IELTS.
My score was: Listening 8, Reading 8, Writing 8.5, Speaking 8.

Overall Band 7.0
My scores are as follows: Listening 7.5, Reading 7.5, Speaking 7.0, Writing 6.0, Overall Band 7.0
I am satisfied with my results of Reading, Listening and Speaking modules except the Writing score which is 6. Now I realize my mistake that I never got my writing tasks evaluated. I took it so lightly and did not use your services of getting the writing task evaluated which would have helped me to identify my mistakes to score a higher band in the writing task.
My sincere thanks to IELTS-Blog.com for the valuable tips and advice which has helped me to get a decent score. This score is quite okay for me for the purpose of Canadian Immigration.

Overall score of 7.5, all I did was read your book
Hi Simone,
I had an overall score of 7.5. All I did was read your book and it really helped as there were simply no surprises in the test.
I could have obviously got a much higher score had I followed your study plan, but I simply did not have the time. I have started a new job and am working on a multitude of projects at the same time, hence with the little effort I did put into the IELTS test I am happy.
My scores are as follows:
Listening 7.0,
Reading 7.5,
Writing 7.5,
Speaking 7.5

A great help for me... explains in detail how the test works and what we should expect
My main reason for re-sitting the test was to attain a score of 7 in each of the four components. "Ace the IELTS" has really helped me a lot in improving my writing and speaking scores.
My results this time around are just unbelievable, 8.5 in Listening, 8.5 in Reading, 8.0 in Writing, 7.5 in Speaking with an overall score of 8.0. This book was a great help for me since it explains in detail how the test works and what we should expect in each section and prepares the students accordingly.
This book helped me understand that there are five types of letters from which we will have to write one. So once I knew that I practiced all five with the help of the book and was prepared to tackle that.
The same goes for the essay. There are basically three types and we should be prepared for all. I practiced writing letters and essays with the help of the book since it has a lot of practice topics for us and it guides us on how the essay should be written to get good marks.
When I went to my speaking test I knew what kind of questions to expect since I had practiced with the help of the book. It has numerous tips which helped me act confidently, which was very difficult for me since I get nervous during interviews and it also helped me avoid mistakes which could affect my score.
It also has a lot of details on the types of questions that the examiner will be asking you and the kind of answers that we should give to get a good score. So what I did was go through all the sample questions and practice and it really helped me heaps.
Thank you Simone for this great book!

Overall Band score 8, I only started preparing a week prior to my test.
Hi Simone,
Just wanted to thank you for your assistance with getting the IELTS result I needed for the Highly Skilled Migrant Visa to the UK.
I just received my results:
Listening 8.5
Reading 9.0
Writing 7
Speaking 8
Overall Band score: 8
I only started preparing a week prior to my test (after coming across your website and acquiring "ACE the IELTS").
I must say that I would have really struggled if I did not have any idea what to expect.
I will definitely recommend your website to the visa agency processing my application.
Again, thank you so much!

Perfect book for preparing for IELTS
I had to attend IELTS for immigration purposes and I had to receive at least 6. My English is not that good but I just had to pass the IELTS exam.
In my country I could take a very expensive course to prepare for the exam, but I couldn't afford it. Also when I was searching in the internet, I found some expensive courses for IELTS preparation. And finally I found this inexpensive book and bought it.
This book is great! It explains everything about the IELTS exam in simple English, about all the parts of it. It teaches you how to prepare for each part. It has many very very useful techniques.
You can prepare for the IELTS by using only this book, I did it. I didn't need anything else (in this book there are links to additional tests that you can do for preparation). I received 7 in my IELTS!
This was unbelievable for me! Thank you Simone for this great book, you made my dream for immigration possible!
Common mistaken beliefs (tap to reveal the truth)
Attention all native English speakers, future IELTS examiners, English teachers or IELTS trainers: even if you were born and raised in an English-speaking country, or teach English for living, the truth is that you DO NEED this book - well, if you want to get a fair score, that is. If I had a coin for every time a native English speaker told me "I wonder why my answers were wrong, I was convinced they were right! This is so embarrassing...", I'd be filthy rich now.
Another reason is the crushing factor of time pressure - and we all tend to panic when there's not enough time, no matter what our first language is.
In IELTS you need to do things FAST. Of course you would get all the answers right, if you had the time. But the reality is that there are a lot of questions to be answered, a lot of writing to be done, and very little time to do it.
This guide shows you HOW TO:
* Listen, hear the right answers and write them down FAST
* Scan through the text and deal with all kinds of questions FAST
