Resources

Recommended reading, tools and practice material for English Language.

These are the materials we recommend for preparing for the English Language olympiad. None of them is compulsory: every question comes from the syllabus, not from one particular book. Pick what matches the level you will sit, and practise a little at a time rather than everything at once.
