Have you ever looked at an official IELTS website and asked yourself how it can help you? Do you know how to read and analyse student essays and read examiners comments?

In this podcast I’m going to have a detailed look at some key official IELTS websites – from all over the world – and see what we can learn from them and how they can help you prepare for your exam.

As you will have discovered by now there are many, many IELTS websites out there and you will have your favourites that you use and that you trust. In this tutorial, I want to look at the ‘official’ websites and to try and assess what you can get out of them!

So, in all your IELTS preparation you are looking for three main things – INFORMATION, ADVICE and PRACTICE! These are three really important elements to getting through this exam and looking forward to IELTS exam success!

Many of you are studying on your own without teachers / need support but also need to be able to learn effectively on your own and therefore these official websites are important and can be a key to guiding you through the exam preparation and process.
