iPass IELTS Toolkit - now yours for free!
The IELTS Toolkit is designed to help you with specific areas of English grammar and vocabulary which can prevent IELTS candidates from getting a high band score in their speaking and writing tests.
Many of our students get stuck on band 6 or band 6.5 but we find that they only need to work on specific things in order to make the difference to band 7 or higher.
It’s very difficult to know what those specific things are without getting expert guidance and feedback from an IELTS specialist teacher which is what we offer with our online IELTS courses at iPass.
When our students are given their 1-2-1 feedback from their tutor, they are often directed to specific exercises in our IELTS toolkit.
It could be an area of grammar such as ‘incorrect use of verb tenses’ or ‘misusing the passive’ or it could be something related to vocabulary such as ‘too many spelling mistakes’ or ‘not using enough collocations’. Or it could be a particular writing or speaking skill such as not ‘structuring an essay correctly’ or ‘not using enough linkers’.
Once the tutor has pinpointed the error, the student will be advised to do some follow-up exercises before the next writing task or speaking session. In this way, our students improve with each practice test that they do, so that when it comes to taking the actual exam, they feel much more confident about their language skills and have a much better chance of getting the scores they need.
And the really great news is that we have now made the entire IELTS toolkit a free public resource so anyone who is preparing for the IELTS exam or who just wants to improve their English grammar or vocabulary can have unlimited access to all the exercises free of charge!
