It is followed by a chapter called Academic Writing, which contains two writing tasks. This is succeeded by a section related to the Speaking test. The last fifteen pages cover one complete practise test for the users.

The book contains illustrations and box items to support the flow of questions and to familiarize readers with the IELTS question formats. Each of the tests contains an action plan, wherein the users are guided through some action-steps to help them tackle that particular section of IELTS. The action plan section is followed by the Task section, in which readers can try a related task from the subject section.
