Resources

Study resources from independent providers

IELTS Prep Studio is built around its own guides and practice tools. Some candidates also use books, language apps, or courses from other companies. These notes say what each one is for.

Questions

Are the links on this page advertisements?

No. None of the links on this page are affiliate tracking links. If a link later pays a commission, the word Advertising will appear immediately before that link.

Will one of these providers raise an IELTS score?

No provider listed here can guarantee a band score, a visa, or a university place. Use any extra practice beside the writing, speaking, reading, and listening work on this site.

Does IELTS Prep Studio run these courses or tutors?

No. Each provider is an independent company. IELTS Prep Studio does not sell their courses and does not employ their tutors.
