Today you\u2019ll meet Roberto, and learn how to focus for 8.5 in IELTS Listening and Reading.<\/p>\n

\"8.5<\/a><\/p>\n

Roberto took the IELTS Exam 2 weeks ago<\/strong> and got the scores he needed!<\/p>\n

He received 7.5 overall: 8.5 in Reading and Listening<\/strong>, and 6.5 in Writing and Speaking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The reason he took the exam was to get his CELTA certificate so he could be an English teacher<\/strong> in Milan, where he lives.<\/p>\n

Roberto notes how on the exam, he was the only one using strategies<\/a>, like underlining key words<\/strong>, during the Listening Exam<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Also, in Reading<\/strong>, he achieved such a magnificent score only by using the efficient strategies<\/a> he got in 3 Keys.<\/p>\n

And- this was his first time<\/strong> taking the exam!<\/p>\n

Roberto notes how important it was to get his focus<\/strong>, get into the zone<\/strong>, from the very beginning of the test.<\/p>\n

On the Writing Exam<\/strong>, he was able to brainstorm easily<\/a> and organize<\/strong> his ideas well while he wrote his essay.<\/p>\n

Roberto spent his hours hanging out with other IELTS candidates, speaking English<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Before taking his first IELTS Exam, he also had a one-on-one lesson with Jessica on Skype<\/a>, which he notes helped him feel truly prepared and confiden<\/strong>t for his test.<\/p>\n

During his Writing test, he thinks if he were less nervous<\/strong> he would have done a bit better.<\/p>\n

When you have too many ideas<\/a>, remember that there is no such thing as perfect ideas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Your grade is based on your organization<\/strong> and vocabulary<\/strong>, more than the strength of your ideas- as long as they are connected to the topic and specific<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the Speaking test<\/strong>, Roberto enjoyed himself while speaking to the examiner<\/a>. He knew what to expect, like the recorder<\/strong>, and he was able to relax and perform well.<\/p>\n
