How to handle the Listening test:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to practicing your general fluency and listening skills, you also need to do Listening test practice.<\/p>\n

When it comes to test practice and the actual test, don’t take notes during the test.<\/p>\n

When you have time to look at questions, underline the key words (names, numbers, verbs).<\/p>\n

Next, predict answers. What do you need in the blank? Are you listening for a noun or for an adjective?<\/p>\n

When they start speaking, follow along with your pen and fill in the answer as soon as you hear it.<\/p>\n

You will have time to go back and check your answers.<\/p>\n

By the time you get to the actual IELTS exam, you should be comfortable with hearing different types of accents.<\/p>\n

Make sure that your study plan includes balanced practice<\/a> which allows you to improve both your general fluency and also your test strategies.<\/p>\n

Listening practice can be one of the most enjoyable parts of your IELTS study plan so grab some great resources and get started!<\/p>\n
