Dear Friend, If I had to guess why youre visiting this web site, I would say "you need to take the IELTS test in the nearest future and you are unsure how to make it a success". Maybe you dont know how to achieve your target Band Score, or youre tired of endless studying with little results. Maybe you dont have an IELTS trainer in your town or cant find good IELTS books for self study. Maybe youre very busy with your professional life and looking for shortcuts, or want to ensure a high score because you cant afford failing another IELTS test. No matter what your reason is, you are doing a very smart thing here, because IELTS preparation can be long, exhausting, frustrating and not at all productive - or it can be much shorter, easier and the results can be better, depending on just one thing - the way you study. If you had taken IELTS exams in the past, you know that the amount of effort you put into your preparation DOESNT GUARANTEE you a good score. Are you ready for the good news? You are literally one click 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 - thats a promise. This book is 100% GUARANTEED to maximize your IELTS score and transform your exam preparation from chaotic and frustrating to systematic, productive and enjoyable. But before we get to it, can I ask you something? Just think for a moment if this sounds familiar to you… You must get a high score in IELTS, and have no idea how to do it. Writing a good essay is hard, because you dont 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. Writing letters is difficult too, because you dont know what to say and how to say it, your grammar and handwriting are far from perfect, and no matter how much you try, any letter is taking longer than 20 minutes. How do I know this? Because Ive been there, too. I know what its like to always run out of time in the Reading test, because the passages are hard to understand and the questions are confusing. I know what it feels like to be a slow reader 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. Its not just you, whose mind goes blank when you need to speak on a topic for 2 minutes, whos left with no ideas what to say or with no words in their vocabulary. And its not just you who panics in the Listening section, when they go too fast, or speak with an accent, or because its hard to concentrate and youre afraid to miss the answers. If any of this describes your IELTS preparation, Ive got great news for you: Ive Had It All. And I Know How To Help.

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 of the essays and I have seen my score improving 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 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."
- Eduard (Canada)
"Just got my report in my hands. It turned to be far better than Ive expected:
Listening 8.0,
Reading 9.0,
Writing 8.0,
Speaking 7.0,
Total: 8.0
Overall, Im 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."
- Tamas (Australia)

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.
First I got the free trial access to "Ace the IELTS". You were very right that no matter whether English was anybodys 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."

"Dear Simone,
Thanks for your help. I have got my results today and was grateful. I have got an overall band of 7 - and 7 in each section. I could not believe that writing score was 7 too!"
- Maysoon (UAE)

Today I received my IELTS Score, and its 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. Thats all thanks to your books 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."
- Mohammad (New York, USA)
"... 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!"

" 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!

"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
