Hi all!

Just to share when I took my IELTS exam (which reminds me I have to take it again), I needed at least a band 7 for nursing qualifications. My advice is, you don't really need to spend so much for review materials on IELTs. There are so many websites on the internet which offer free IELTS practice and they have been helpful to me. I used Cambridge practice materials 1-8 https://www.cambridge.org/. I concentrated on just one publisher as the more books you read the more you get confused as they all give different opinions on what to do on the test. While I was over in Manila I joined Niners which has different review venues all over the city . I only paid Php 5000 for unlimited sessions until you are ready and confident to take the test. They do have good materials and good reviewers and you will learn a lot from them. At the end of the day, practice still makes perfect. The amount of time you spend on studying in all categories will will be reflected on your band score.

Goodluck!
