    About this ebook

    The second edition of “The IELTS for Beginners” not only provides information on the parts of the exam but it also offers a very detailed description of the types of questions.
    Each skill tested is dealt with in a separate chapter and the information about the question types is followed by advice on how to locate the answers faster or how to write more effectively. In addition, there is one chapter which describes the rules to follow when transferring the Reading and Listening answers on the Answer Sheet to ensure that no points are lost.

    The book is aimed at test takers who are not very familiar with this exam but also at those who need to improve their skills so they can take the test again.

      About the author

      1. Introduction

      In 2012, when the first edition of this book was written, the International English Language Testing System, more commonly known as the IELTS test, was the only one accepted by universities and other authorities in Australia.

      Since then, a few things have changed in this country. Institutions accept Test Report Forms which are more than two years old and the test format is now Writing-Reading-Listening-Speaking whereas in other countries the test still begins with the Listening part. For the readers’ convenience, in this ebook the skills are presented in the original exam order.

      Other things have remained the same. The IELTS test still has two modules, the General Training and the Academic and the four skills are usually tested on the same day. The only break the candidates have is after the last written part, while they are waiting to take the speaking test.

      Based on the module taken, General Training or Academic, the candidates have different questions for Reading and Writing so they have to make sure they are taking the right one.

      For first time candidates preparing for the test can be a daunting task, particularly when
