Customer Reviews

Good complement but not enough to prepared IELTS
This book is quite small (for its price). However, it is divided in around 25 units. Each unit is about a specific grammar point in English. The rule is well and simply explained and followed with short exercises (with correction at the back of the book). After a few units, there is a "global" test with exercises about the specific points just seen. I would say this book can be a good complement (for someone with already a good level in English) but definitely not sufficient to practice or prepare the IELTS.

pros and cons
The book is rather tiny, so that can be a bit of a disapointment. however, some of the units are very effective and the grammar is well explained. i would say that it is certainly a useful book, but maybe a bit overpriced. i'll still recommend it to someone preparing ielts though...
