It's so much easier for candidates to do well in an exam if they know exactly what to expect. This is where the British Council's Road to IELTS provides candidates with a unique advantage. It includes 120 hours of intensive work on vocabulary, reading, writing, listening and speaking, helping them to develop their skills to the levels necessary to succeed in the IELTS exam.

And, crucially, the program simulates the exam itself, enabling candidates to view videos of the Speaking test, and to practise against the clock. The Listening section includes timed academic and social listening activities. Reading activities are based on an impressive array of authentic texts: The Economist, New Internationalist, the British Medical Journal, and many more.

One of the challenges of IELTS preparation is enabling learners to interpret and describe charts and tables. Road to IELTS includes a wealth of these graphics and more than 70 exercises. The program includes detailed explanations of each question type in each part of the exam, and tips on how best to tackle the tasks.

The units are organised thematically using themes commonly found in the IELTS exam. The first six units familiarise the student with the basic test types. Units 7-9 consolidate, using more complex content, and the last three units use combination activities which are very similar to the exam itself.
