English Language students have a real ally and helping hand with this book and a good teacher.  I have seen my students typically raise their grade from a low C to an A.  The book goes through all the aspects of the exam and is written by an experienced examiner.  Each section, reading and writing are given thorough attention.  It gives insights into what an exemplar answer needs to include, so the student can objectify the often nebulous definition of what an A, B or C is.  From West London English and Media tutor, English and Media tutor in Harrow, London.  http://paltip.com/westlondonenglish/!4n40
