  4. Polish your topic vocabulary

    Section 3 is almost always about education. For example, students and a tutor talking about an assignment. Learn all the vocabulary you can about studying at university. This way you will understand this section better.

    Don’t loose attention

    Keep in mind, you will only hear the audio once. So if you didn’t hear some words and passed over some questions, don’t worry! Leave them blank and focus on the actual part. Review those questions at the end of the section, otherwise, you will only miss more questions and tangle in the recording. You will need to read, write and listen to all at the same time.

    Transfer answers accurately

    At the end of the listening test, you will be given 10 minutes to transfer answers into the answer sheet. And quite often students get confused in the enumeration! As you write down your answers, check that they fit into the correct numbered space. In other words, make sure that an answer for question 7 goes into space number 7.

    Hello, My tips for IELTS listening
    Don’t leave any blank answers!

    You won’t lose marks for incorrect answers, so even if you don’t know the answer it is better to write something in the answers box. Read the question again and make a guess!

    Get used to of understanding different accents.

    IELTS being an international test, you may come across different accents like Canadian, British, American and Australian. So, it makes sense to get familiarized with them in advance.
