Most people who only began studying for IELTS have no idea what their current Band score is. They only know what score they need to achieve – but without a starting point it is very difficult to see how much work is needed to get there.

To estimate your band score, you must solve one IELTS test, at home with a stop watch. But where do you get it? Normally IELTS tests are quite expensive: Cambridge charge around $64 for a set of six tests and a CD. Don’t worry, there is a way to get them for less.

I have found an awesome deal: you can get a package of 5 tests (for Academic or General Training module) with all the audio files included for Listening and Speaking, and it only costs $26.95. Wait, it gets better – you can check one essay for free with a purchase of this package (normally costs $3).

This package is real value for money – it is cheap, it helps you estimate your current Band and to get a lot of practice material at the same time. No need to wait for a week to get anything shipped – download tests to your computer instantly and starts practicing now.

Tests Preparation Package contains

• IELTS practice question papers (with the listening, reading, writing and speaking sections)
• audio files containing the recordings for all the IELTS listening sections
• written tapescripts for the IELTS Listening Tests with the answers highlighted to help you check the answers
• answer sheets for all the IELTS Listening and Reading Tests
• audio files with example recordings of real IELTS students doing the Speaking Tests
• example IELTS writing answers written by IELTS teachers and examiners for all our IELTS Writing Test questions

How to download

Click here to buy Academic package or here to buy General Training package. After the payment you will immediately receive a download link to your email – no need to wait for anything to be shipped. If the link is not there within minutes – check your Spam or Bulk folder because my email could have landed there.

To estimate your band score:

1. Take one IELTS test out of package; solve it under test conditions (with a stop watch) and count the number of correct answers.

2. Use this calculator to get your approximate score in Reading and Listening.

3. To estimate your score in Writing, you’ll need our teacher’s help. Write an essay (use a topic from the downloaded test), save it as Word file and send it attached to email to info@IELTS-Blog.com. You will get it back checked in 2 working days or less (read more about essay-checking here).
