How This Book Helps You

This book gives you, the IELTS Test candidate, detailed guidance on how you
can improve your IELTS Speaking Test band score.
The IELTS Speaking Test is no different from any other exam or test type. There
are techniques, which can be practised and which will place candidates in a
better position to answer each given question type.
The main chapters in this book teach you those techniques for the IELTS
Speaking Test.
Before we get to the techniques which can help you improve your band score,
we set the scene by explaining more about IELTS band scores, by reference to
the IELTS General Descriptors. We also provide some general advice for the
IELTS Speaking Test and explain the structure of the IELTS Speaking Test.
