In this article, I share some of the IELTS resources that are very effective and useful for all the applicants and classify the list of resources under 3 different categories including, books, websites and apps.
IELTS Books:
The best IELTS books are published by Cambridge University and two of them that I do advise everyone are listed below:
MINDSET FOR IELTS
MINDSET: is the multi-level course from the Cambridge that produces the IELTS test, develops students’ English skills and leaves them fully prepared for the test day.
Each level includes learning strategies, skills practice and exam practice designed to help students achieve their target band score.
OBJECTIVE IELTS
Objective IELTS is a 2-level IELTS preparation course providing comprehensive training for both the Academic and General Training modules. The course is uniquely informed by the Cambridge Learner Corpus, using analysis of real IELTS candidate papers.
The 2 levels of Objective IELTS can be used on their own or consecutively, so that lower-level students requiring a high band score can start preparing early.
IELTS Apps:
- IELTS Prep App:
This app gives you instant access to practice tests, grammar tips, exercises, quizzes and more freely. You will also have access to free sample reading, writing, speaking. And listening questions as well as vocabulary practice.
- IELTS Word Power:
This app was specifically designed for test takers to improve the range and complexity of their vocabulary. In this app, you have a series of interesting and exciting vocabulary-building games that will ensure that you learn and have fun at the same time.
Both apps are downloadable via AppStore and Google Play.
IELTS Websites:
- Exam English
This website is one of the best websites that provides free samples for both IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training tests. You can find separate sample tests for all the 4 skills of the IELTS on this website in addition to the IELTS band score and the marking scheme of each of the IELTS skills.

- Write & Improve
This website is launched by Cambridge recently as a way of helping IELTS applicants to check out their own performance on the IELTS writing test. You can create a free account on the said website and practice your writing. It should be mentioned of the some of the features of this website can be accessed via a paid subscription. The main focus of ‘Write & Improve’ website is on the writing skill of the both IELTS General Trading and IELTS Academic writing skills. The website can provide an individual overall feedback on the applicant’s writing after the writing tasks are submitted on the website.
