Matters needing attention in IELTS test
1, IELTS has a large number of words. It's not just candidates who need to write two essays of more than 400 words in one hour. Because of the large reading vocabulary, candidates should train hard to improve their reading speed when preparing for the exam.
Unlike previous listening tests, Cambridge Examinations Board printed questions and options on the test paper. In order to know the questions before listening to the tape, candidates must have the ability to read quickly and accurately.
2. Be familiar with the questions before the exam. There are many kinds of IELTS test questions, many of which have never been seen before. Candidates need time to read and understand the intentions of the questions when they are just getting started. In the race against time exam, this is tantamount to a disguised form of interference for candidates, so before the exam, candidates need to fully master some very distinctive IELTS questions.
For example, the tag question in listening is a combination of pictures and fill-in-the-blank questions. Candidates need to say all parts of a picture. Candidates must be clear about where the topic is required to be marked, whether the content is a name or a detailed explanation, and finally pay attention to details such as uppercase and lowercase letters and plural numbers.
