| We understand well the frustrations that IELTS candidates face, and therefore now provide a wide range of learning materials and exercises to help you prepare and to boost your confidence before sitting an IELTS exam. From May 2008, we are launching a new service called IELTS Tips of the Month. This will include Dos and Don’ts which are updated monthly. |

|
Reading
|
|
|
Practise scanning for key words in the extracts or the reading passage that match the items. You can also practise scanning for paraphrases of key words. |
|
|
Do
 |
- Read the instructions for each set of questions very carefully: it is important to do exactly what you are asked to do
- Where appropriate remember to skim the questions before reading the passage so that you have a purpose for reading.
|
Don't 
|
Don't become anxious if there are questions you cannot answer. Leave them and move onto the next questions. You can always come back to the ones you couldn’t answer at the end of the test if you have time. |
Writing
|
|
Do
|
Make sure that all of your ideas are relevant to the question. |
Listening
|
|
Do
|
Write all your answers as you listen – remember you won’t hear the recording a second time. |
Speaking
|
|
Do
|
Listen carefully to the questions you’re asked so that your answers are relevant. |
Don't
|
Don’t worry if you realise you’ve made a mistake. It’s OK to correct yourself. If you can't correct yourself, forget it and carry on. |
