IELTS Intensive is a short course offering 40 hours of classroom study with an optional 20
hours of additional practice material for extended classroom use or homework. It is designed to
strike a balance between test training and practice in all four skills areas. IELTS Intensive
is aimed at students who require an IELTS band score of 5.5 - 6.5 who are close to achieving
this level of academic language proficiency but who need to improve their IELTS performance.

sample answers are included in the back of the book. Additional features include: Get to know
