How to score high at IELTS Listening

I have taught many students and they passed the paper exam and some got 9 points score in IELTS Listening. So, I want to share the strategies with you.

I am going to write  related articles about each section of the IELTS exam and post them in the coming weeks. Now let's get started! 

Let me quickly tell you about the format of the test and then we will dive into tips, so Listening to IELTS is the same for both academic and general education exams. lasts 30 minutes and includes 40 questions, which are divided into four sections and questions become more difficult as you pass the test required for answer 30 questions correctly in order to achieve a 7 or 35 questions to get an 8. I would say that the main difficulty in listening to IELTS is lack of time, so I Let's talk about how you can manage your time more effectively during this test. to answer additional questions if you pass the paper exam you receive question sheets and an answer sheet, so while you listen to the recording you mark your answers on the question sheets, and then if you get more ten minutes to submit your answers, which is more than enough time if you take a computer-based exam that you answer directly on the screen, so you don't have to these ten minutes, and they will give you only two basically this is enough to check your answers, you may only need to check those where you write down printed words and check spelling, you may need to think about how to write certain words so that two minutes are enough for this .

For me, the big advantage of the computer test is that you always get headphones and you can hear everything clearly on the paper exam, you can get headphones in some centres, but quite often you are just in a room full of people with loudspeakers and generally not so clear I generally have a separate article where I talk about all the differences between paper and computer exam and you can watch it to decide which format is best for you, I'm going to link it here as listening is a hard test because it's hard to understand what they say on the record, but because you need listening read and write almost  simultaneously is a test concentration and the ability to manage your time and seconds very precisely you should know that if you put in a situation where you read the question for the first time when listening to the recording, I hardly recognize so you'll just be bored so you need to read the questions before you listen record and let the idea in the test, because when it starts they give you a few seconds to read the questions and you really need to use that time to maximum so as soon as you see a task like don't read the task don't think about anything try to read all the questions in this section and before the recording begins go back and look at the first and second question to know what do you expect, then you listen to the first record and they tell you you have time to revise your answers, don't do it right away, go to future questions and keep reading and memorizing them, this is the biggest tip I have think about the biggest thing you can do to improve your skill and I would let's say always try to follow two questions: your question and the next one question, you will see questions where the question itself is quite low and then you have some long options so when you read them before writing starts trying to pay attention to keywords in each of them in each option, then when listening to the recording you will make them lighter and they can give you, say, four options and they will talk about each of them on the record and most likely they will going to say something like at first i thought it would be this but then this turned out to be wrong, but one that we didn't explain.

The March frog turned out to be the best something like this and are going to mention them all and their opinion will change as soon as you hear that some option is wrong, just cross it out right away helps in the paper exam in the computer exam unfortunately you don't have that option, so you have to pay even more attention to keywords another tip, if you are taking a paper exam, keep the assignment in hand and always remember if you need to select a word or letter, for example in this task if you wrote the word movie it would be the wrong answer you need to write it be, and if you are not sure what the answer is make an assumption that you don't lose points for wrong answers.

Anyway, now let me tell you about some of the most difficult task types in those who listen always get questions when they need to feel the gap and the challenge it would now be much more than one word or a number almost greater than three words and number and what you can do here you can read your question.
