IELTS is one of the most significant tests to assess the English proficiency of non-native students. Along with official resources presented by three owners: the British Council, IDP, and Cambridge, you can find hundreds of digital and printed materials available for learners to prepare for IELTS.
What I intend to discuss here is to mention the five best resources for the preparation of all four skills: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. In addition, I will introduce some other resources that are useful for some of these skills.

She is a native English teacher who has been teaching IELTS for more than ten years. When I was searching for high-quality books for IELTS preparation, I came across her book about IELTS writing. After a glimpse at some pages, I got to know that it was what I was searching for. I have read many books about IELTS preparation, but no book satisfies me like hers. Except for some flaws, I found her books useful for students struggling to score more than seven.

Their guidance on other skills, especially writing, is noteworthy.
