Hi there! With me, you have several options to deepen your knowledge on IELTS depending on your purpose. First timers are recommended to take the introductonary course, but of course doing a preliminary prediction test will be able to help you evaluate your current English level and preparedness for IELTS.
Most of the times, students already have the capacity to participate in the IELTS exam, just that they do not have proper strategy to engage in this exam. Therefore, a prediction test and a post-course prediction test is included in all of the corresponding courses for free!
