s General Tip Prepare your students with practice tests under exam-like conditions, following the time limits for each section of the test.
Be sure your students are familiar with the format of the test; encourage them to have a clear ‘map’ of the test in their mind.
s Speaking Tip Make sure your students don’t give memorised answers or try to prepare their answer before the test, remind them to remain confident and relaxed. s Reading Tip Reassure students that they do not need to understand every detail and it doesn’t matter if there are words they are not familiar with.
Familiarise your students with the format of the many question types and make sure they understand the importance of reading the instructions for each set of questions carefully.
s Listening Tip Highlight the importance of reading the questions carefully - encourage your students to try to predict what kind of information they will need to answer the questions. s Writing Tip Don’t begin writing immediately! Train your students to always organise their thoughts and make notes before beginning to write. Find more great tips in The Complete Guide To IELTS
Encourage students not to give short answers to questions or respond with a simple yes or no but to give details and examples when they speak.
Spelling counts! Remind your students that when transferring their answers to the answer sheet they should check their spelling carefully.
Ensure students know not to copy long phrases or sentences from the writing prompt but to use their own words.

Organisation of Practical Grammar Each level of Practical Grammar has 100 units, divided into modules of five units. Each module examines a particular area of grammar. The grammar is set in short, everyday conversations or texts, showing the language in natural situations which students will find engaging and can relate to. Students then examine the form, meaning and use of the language before practising it in a variety of activity types. A Review section concludes each module and regular tests check students’ progress. Each level comes with two audio CDs and a pin code which allows access to MyPG for extensive additional online practice for use at home or in self-access centres.
Key features Real language in natural situations: exposes students to grammar at work Listening and pronunciation: two audio CDs provide listen and check support and key pronunciation of the grammar items Key vocabulary: high frequency words and expressions in each unit
