文档介绍：Your Key to IELTS ess
From the desk of Tom Paulson, Director of Test-Taking Strategy at IELTS
Secrets, May 5, 2002-
Dear future IELTS ess Story:
Congratulations on your purchase of the most advanced test-taking manual
for the IELTS. Notice I did not say study guide- there are plenty of decent
study guides on the market, but that was not our objective in writing this
manual. Our goal is to seek and exploit specific weaknesses in the IELTS
assessment, and then share those secrets with our customers.
Let’s be perfectly honest here- you’ve worked hard enough in the past, and if
you want to spend hours in a study guide to boost your score, that’s a great
thing to do. In fact, we mend at least a brief review of some of the
better study guides on the market. But that’s simply not enough to do well in
the high-pressure high-stakes environment of the test day. How well you do
on this test will have a significant impact on your future- and we have the
research and practical advice to help you execute on test day.
The product you’re reading now is much more than a study guide- it is a
tactical weapon designed to exploit weaknesses in the test itself, and help
you avoid the mon errors students make when taking the IELTS.
