Before taking the IELTS Listening test:
Watch English-language movies and online videos; listen to English-language radio programmes, news, and lectures. Make an effort to become conversant in British English. For this, you might enlist the aid of British news outlets like the BBC.
Learn about the various listening exam question formats, including multiple choice, matching, and labelling.
With regard to the IELTS listening test:
- Pay close attention to the audio instructions before each section. The exam booklet does not provide these instructions.
- For information on how many words to write on the answer sheet, carefully read the directions in the exam booklet. You will get fewer points if you write more than is necessary.
- Before listening, read the questions. You have between 30 and 60 seconds to read the instructions and questions.
- The question’s crucial phrases should be underlined. But also pay attention to the synonyms and phrasal verbs.
- Try to guess the solution by visualising the circumstances.
- Pay close attention to flaws (not, never, none, none, barely, hardly, scarcely, etc.).
- During the 30-second break that follows each section, review your responses.
- Transfer the exam booklet’s answers to the answer sheet within the allotted ten minutes.
- Verify that you have written down each response on the answer sheet. Even if you don’t know the answer, do your best to guess; do not leave blank spots.
- Make sure the words you use in your answer are spelled correctly and use the right grammar.
Reading in preparation for the IELTS reading exam
- Read English-language periodicals, newspapers, magazines, and novels. As you read, highlight or underline less frequently occurring terms.
- Test your ability to infer a word’s meaning from context. Consult a dictionary if you still don’t grasp what the term means.
- Read the news often. The reading passages’ subjects often touch on current events.
- Know how to answer each sort of reading question on an academic or general training exam.
- Practice reading quickly under pressure. To read all three sections and respond to 40 questions in 60 minutes, you must be able to read quickly.
- Practice skimming, scanning, and focused reading approaches while reading.
With Regard to the IELTS Reading Test:
- When taking the exam, pay close attention to the instructions since they can be somewhat different from the ones you were acquainted with during practise.

The IELTS writing exam involves the following:
- Highlight the keywords after thoroughly analysing each job.
- In your work, avoid using the task terms; instead, use your own vocabulary and sentence patterns.
When registering for the IELTS Academic Module:

- Make sure to respond to the question. Don’t stray from the subject.
- Essay length should not exceed 350 words. Quality, not quantity, should be your first concern.

- Do not begin writing your letter or essay without first outlining it.
- In Writing Task 1, you must produce a minimum of 150 words, but you should aim for 200 words.

Speaking before the IELTS Speaking exam:

- Talk to other students before entering the test room in English. It will make it easier for you to transition to English.
With regard to the IELTS Speaking test:
- Be composed. You will be able to perform better if you feel at ease.
- When speaking, try to say as much as you can and expand your replies.
- Don’t consider your vocabulary or grammar. Pay close attention to providing the best possible answers to the questions.
- If you make a mistake, correct it.
- If there is anything in the question that you do not understand, ask the examiner to explain it or ask it again.
- Be aware of your body language and refrain from using excessive gestures.
- Remain on topic.
- Use neutral or semi-formal language since the test is in a formal setting.
