you have many good books to prepare for your IELTS test.
Firstly, you should know what skills you are good and not so good. Secondly, spend more time to study the one that you are not so good to gain the knowledge. if you enroll in a course, try to practice what you have learned at home. if you just stay at home, buy books and learn by yourself, I strongly recommend you to practice listening first because in the real test you just have opportunity to listen one time. after listening, let move on to reading -> writing -> speaking.Thirdly, Let's be familiar with the format of the test. The Cambridge IELTS 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, test plus, test builder that you have are really helpful. let's use it to practice more.
Here are just some of my own experiences. I hope that you can deal with your exam successfully.
if you want to have more materials for English learning, you can visit the website of my department, at HCMC university of education:
