For Listening (Band 7+)
- Practice with varied accents: The IELTS test includes British, Australian, American, and other accents. Expose yourself to all of them.
- Predict answers: Use the reading time to predict what type of information you need to listen for.
- Don't fixate on unknown words: If you miss something, move on. Don't let one missed answer affect the rest.
- Check spelling and grammar: You lose marks for spelling and grammatical errors, even if you heard correctly.
- Transfer answers carefully: You get 10 minutes at the end - use them wisely to transfer and check your answers.
For Reading (Band 7+)
- Skim first, then scan: Get the general idea of the passage before attempting questions.
- Time management is crucial: Spend no more than 20 minutes per passage. Practice with a timer.
- Keywords are your friends: Underline key words in questions and find their synonyms in the passage.
- Don't insert your own knowledge: Answer based only on what's in the passage, not your general knowledge.
- Practice different question types: Each type (matching, True/False/Not Given, multiple choice) requires different strategies.
For Writing (Band 7+)
- Plan before writing: Spend 5 minutes planning your essay structure and main points.
- Answer the question fully: Make sure you address all parts of the task. Partially answered questions lose marks.
- Use a variety of structures: Mix simple and complex sentences. Show your grammatical range.
- Avoid memorized phrases: Examiners can tell. Use natural, topic-specific language instead.
- Leave time to check: Reserve 5 minutes to review and correct errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
- Word count matters: Write at least 150 words (Task 1) and 250 words (Task 2). Practice counting quickly.
For Speaking (Band 7+)
- Speak naturally: Don't memorize and recite answers. Have a conversation with the examiner.
- Extend your answers: Don't give one-word responses. Elaborate with reasons, examples, or personal experiences.
- Use discourse markers: Words like "however," "furthermore," "in my opinion" show sophistication.
- Don't worry about accent: You're not marked on accent. Focus on clarity and pronunciation of individual words.
- Self-correct if needed: If you make a mistake and realize it, it's fine to correct yourself. It shows awareness.
- Practice regularly: Find a speaking partner or record yourself. Regular practice builds confidence.
