Timed
Practice
Whether
preparing for IELTS writing or speaking, reading or listening, practice with a TIMER!
The time restrictions within the exam are often the loosing points for the test
takers! Adding this pressure will make you comfortable with responding to
questions in a timely manner.
IELTS LISTENING
- Grammar, spelling and vocabulary MATTER! Make sure you use the correct articles, and be careful you don’t record a noun as singular if it was supposed to be plural! These seemingly “little” mistakes can cost you your desired score!
- Read the questions before the audio starts. This will help you pick out the right information.
- It’s important to write down your answers in the booklet you’re given, under that kind of pressure you’ll need the notes, Be sure to transfer them onto the answer sheet correctly.
- Write in Capital letters. Handwriting is important! Because if the examiner marking your test can’t read your answer, it will be marked as incorrect! Don’t lose points on a question you know the answer for.
- If you think you’ve missed an answer … stay focused! You may miss the next if you spend your time freaking out. Move on and try to answer the next question.
- Follow directions! If they specify “write no more than one word”, don’t write more than one! It’ll be marked as incorrect! So pay attention to word count specifications!
