IELTS Like Never Before - Standardized Test Preparation, #1 - E-book - ePub

Many of you might agree with the fact that IELTS is a basic English Language Test designed to measure the strength of your English communication and comprehension skills because it is a pre-requisite when it comes to abroad study. But the problem is many students freak out when they are asked to take the IELTS test any time soon although everybody has been exposed to English language for over ten years at least.
What is it that has made the IELTS test a nightmare? It is all because of the conservative approach demonstrated by our high school, where we were never entertained if we did anything else than course book studies that took even the slightest of chances to ace the exam away from us. This gap is inevitable, and when you enter the test preparation industry, not even a single test preparation agency will teach you the techniques to deal with every single question type that you'll see on the test, which eventually makes things even worse for us.
Whichever test preparation agency you visit, you'll find every teacher just bringing bundles of practice sheets and asking you to practice without teaching you the right way to approach the questions you see on the paper. Preparing for the IELTS with a hope that if you give as many practice tests as possible, you'll improve overtime and ace the test will make the process unnecessarily lengthy and unfulfilling at the same time. Practice does improve your score, but practicing in a way that the test preparation centers make you do is something like pushing the wall of your room.
The wall won't move even an inch; however, you'll certainly hurt yourself doing so. Similarly, just taking dozens of practice tests and not learning from them won't give you out of the box results. Thus, my only focus as always is on doing technique-based quality practice. By that I mean, first clear your basics, cover every single must know concept, lay a solid foundation, then pounce on the practice tests and attempt as much as you can.
Approaching every single standardized test this way will make the process less tedious and a lot more enjoyable. "IELTS Like Never Before" is a book that is designed keeping this technique-based practice centric appraoch in mind and it is a must have for anyone preparing for the IELTS exam because you will come across every must know concept that is going to be tested on the exam day. Hence, as an author, I want all my readers to smile all the time, and this book is certainly my best attempt toward putting a smile on the face of those who have forgotten to smile because of the IELTS nightmares that they're having.
Especially, for those of you who are having a good time with IELTS preparation, I would also want you to read this book and magnify the smiles on your faces to a larger extent because at the end of the day it is all about staying positive within and imparting positivity to the world as only a few people do so nowadays.
