In other books about IELTS Reading, the exercises usually have only one “frame”, either word filling exercises or exercises similar to the Reading test. This will be very boring, especially if you have had to practice a lot.

The exercises are designed quite interesting and rich. Moreover, the exercises in the book are not too difficult but also very deceptive. Suitable for practicing each form that I’m weak with because each unit focuses on each type of card.

If your test score is between 4.5 and 7.5 then Improve your Skills Reading for IELTS is a reliable set of books that you can use as self-study material at home.
