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. |

Underline key words and phrases when you read as well as paying attention to key words in the questions. |
|

 |
Use the glossary, if there is one provided, to help you understand unfamiliar words. |
Writing

Don't 
|
Don’t use note form or bullet points. |
Listening
|
|
Do
|
Wait until the end of the test to transfer your answers. You have ten minutes for this which is plenty of time. |
Don't
|
Don't try to rephrase what you hear. Write down the words you hear which fit the question. |
Speaking
|
|
Do
|
Practise speaking for 2 minutes for the long turn in Part 2. |
Don't
|
Don’t worry if the examiner stops you in Part 2. It means you have spoken enough, and s/he has to keep to the timing of the test. |
