You wanted to know what I did for IELTS - books and Liz: I meant following IELTS with Liz, hehe. Now, here's a caveat. Her channel has only 44 videos and they had been posted years ago. So, you may say - hasn't things changed over a period of 8 to 9 years? Why this channel? When I wrote my IELTS exam few years ago, it was indeed very helpful reference for me indeed. Although to be honest, I practiced a lot from books and referred other available YouTube channels too. But I definitely watched her videos - about all of them. You see, Liz is a trained coach for IELTS and her materials do contain valuable tips and guides for preparation. So, you can definitely use it to supplement your preparation for IELTS. Additionally, her website contains free practice materials as well. There's a reason why her channel still retains 2 million subs!
