The Cambridge books are the best. They are published by the same organizations that write the exam and apparently are exams that were tested for the actual exam but didn't make it through the QA process. You can see a sample at http://assets.cambridge.org/052154/4629/sample/0521544629ws.pdf. Make sure you use actual test conditions - time yourself, make sure you are on a desk in a formal setting, give yourself minimal breaks that match those you'll have the day of, do the tests in order (listening, reading, writing, speaking), etc. |

Yes, but unfortunately only in the actual book. They have answers for all the listening and reading questions and also include varying examples for the writing component with a discussion of why the examples were granted certain scores. |

how was your exam?
My exam was ok.....but I know I missed a couple of answers in the listening because I was a bit distracted at some point.......the reading was ok, I finished before time was up and went over the answers again..........for the writing, it was fine, but I realised that everyone wrote about 3 full pages for each task except me, I really hope it doesn't matter,...... I made sure my Task 1 was just over 150 words, and my Task 2 was about 261 words.........my speaking test will take place tomorrow, and I hope it goes well |

Sure, but how can books help you with speaking? I think there are some good videos on Youtube that show decent demos.
As for books, I find the best is Focus and Academic Skills by Longman. It really gives the skills needed.
