IELTS Liz

What it actually is

A former IELTS examiner's archive of over 300 pages covering every part of the test, with model answers, band descriptors explained, and the specific mistakes that cap people at band 6 — the Writing Task 2 material in particular is better than most paid courses. Still being updated in 2026, including notes on test changes. It is IELTS-specific rather than general English, the site is organised as a blog archive that takes patience to navigate, and the advanced lessons and ebooks are paid.
