Listening tips to Improve your score:
1. Section 1 is simple and is a social interaction mostly on phone.
2. Section 2 is also social, but only one speaker, example a tour guide giving directions.
3. Section 3 is academic in nature and is generally a discussion between 2-4 speakers.
4. Section 4 has one speaker with academic content.
5. If you decide to use capital letters, then all should be in capital letter. If you are using lower case, then you need to use lower case throughout, however remember that the first word should be capital, for name, etc
6. Read the instruction of the question very clearly. Check the limit of the words that you can write in the instructions.
7. For multiple choice answers, write the correct letter or the number in the answer sheet. For example, a) Spring, b) Summer, c) Winter. If the correct answer is Summer, then write b in the answer sheet. If you write ‘Summer’ then the answer will be wrong. Always read the instructions.
8. In Listening, keep your eye on the next question.
9. Write down shorter version of words as notes in your question paper.
10. Common traps to check your IELTS Listening skill is change in answer. Keep on listening till you are sure.
11. Listen carefully for plural (s)
12. If you don’t know the answer, guess. Don’t leave a blank space.
