“I had taken the IELTS speaking test three times before, but I couldn't seem to get the score I needed. This book was a game-changer. It helped me find my weaknesses and work on them. The strategies for answering the different types of questions were incredibly helpful. I finally got the overall score I needed — a band 7. Thank you!”
