Final Evaluation

The Official Cambridge Guide to IELTS is valuable because it bridges two needs that many learners have at the same time: they need to improve their English, and they need to understand how IELTS works. Many books do one well but not the other. This book is strongest because it tries to do both. That makes it especially useful for learners who want a serious main coursebook rather than just a bank of tests.
