IELTS
Took my IELTS general exam on Saturday 2nd August at Manchester University. I needed 7's in all subjects to get me the additional 10 points for my visa application. Just checked online today as the results are available 13 days after your exam and I got R-9 W-7.5 S-9 L-9 and I am over the moon to say the least. For all those preparing to sit the exam I recommend the book in the link below. I know there are lots of free materials out there but this book was a god send to me. And finally I am not the most academic person so if I can get 9's and a 7.5 then there's hope for you all. Good Luck!

Re: IELTS
Internation Standard Book Number, always usually printed on the back of a book near the bar code, its a unique number for each reference

Re: IELTS
Many thanks shaw
I have found this but first I will try the book below which I can get from the library for free The only difference is that it doesnt have the DVD, but does have the CDs.
Cambridge IELTS 9 : authentic examination papers from Cambridge ESOL
9781107645622
If the book doesnt look great when I get it I will revert to the advised title.
Many thanks again.

Re: IELTS
The library route would have taken months so I just purchased the book you mentioned off Amazon, OK so it cost me but a small price if I get 7s or more
