IELTS Listening Tips
Here are some tips to help you achieve the best score possible in the IELTS Listening exam.
Read the questions first, underline the keywords and predict the possible answers. Reviewing the questions first will help you listen for the relevant information.
Don’t worry if you miss a few questions, ignore them and keep on going! You can review them, and make some good guesses, during the 10 minute transfer time.
Use the 10 minute transfer time carefully. If you have finished transferring, check your answers. If you still have time, check them again! Use the time to remove silly errors such as spelling mistakes and using the right symbol ($, m, cm, kg).
Make sure you write an answer for every question. If you are not sure of the answer, choose the most likely answer! You must write something! If you write nothing, it will be wrong, but if you write something, there’s a chance you may be correct!
Don’t be too worried if you find the last section difficult, the test is designed to get harder!
