TIPS FOR TAKING THE IELTS TEST

Posted date: 25 Mar 2021

The International English Language Testing System, or IELTS, is an international standardized test of English language proficiency for non-native English language speakers. The IELTS test format and rules differ slightly from regular school examinations. Here are some tried and tested tips to make the process of taking your first IELTS test easier:

* Identify your strengths and weaknesses: Work on your weaknesses to ensure that your total score doesn't affect negatively. If you are a slow reader, for example, concentrate on the reading test rather than writing, hearing and speaking tests.

* Have a study plan: Plan before you begin your IELTS test and have a tailor-made study plan based on your strengths and weaknesses.

* Study the material: If possible, attend an IELTS training course. The IELTS materials as well as tips and tricks you have to know are provided by the courses of preparation. You can hire a qualified private teacher instead if you don't have access to IELTS preparation courses. An English professor will also help you to plan your studies.

* Practice until you feel confident: Practice improves your trust. Find a friend to speak English with during the speech test. Practice skimming the texts for the reading test while reading English journals. Watch movies every night in English and enjoy English news and songs to enhance your listening skills.

* Practice under time pressure: Just as on examination day, test yourself in 2 hours and 45 minutes. This helps you to know what it feels like to take consecutive read, write and heard tests. The more time you practice, the better your time can be managed.

* Check out the official IELTS website: The IELTS official website provides IELTS candidates with the best source of information. You can find useful IELTS test tips and materials such as books, tests and videos on the website for information on rules and rules of testing, on the test format and.

* Check the location of the exam:  Make sure you know exactly where you are at the IELTS test centre and how to access the test location in order to be on time on the examination day.
