"I was stuck at Band 5.5 for six months. I downloaded a sketchy PDF of Book 2, but there was no audio. I finally bought the real e-book. The difference was night and day. Within 4 weeks, I scored 6.5. It's not magic – it's the right vocabulary for the right topics." — Maria, Spain (IELTS Band 6.5) | Resource | Best for | Downside |
