What is Road to IELTS?

Road to IELTS is a self-study IELTS preparation course produced by the British Council to help candidates prepare for IELTS. After registering for the exam, you will have access to three units, each based on common IELTS topics and covering all four sections of the exam: reading, listening, writing and speaking.

The course allows you to

practice IELTS listening tasks under timed conditions
view sample videos of speaking tests, highlighting good and less good practice
develop vocabulary and techniques for writing tasks 1 and 2
work on authentic texts for the reading test as in the real exam
develop vocabulary in topic areas commonly used in the IELTS exam

Is Road to IELTS Online all I need to prepare for the exam?
