Today Lindsay and Jessica talk about two strategies to make the listening part of the IELTS exam easier!     If you have a strategy or a system to approach the IELTS Listening Exam, you’ll probably do better. Your first step should be to listen to the introduction. It will tell you who will be talking, and what they’re talking about.

One reason for this is that the test is face-to-face with another person, which makes it more real. Though this might sound intimidating, many testers actually find it more relaxing when the examiner is another person, rather than a computer. When students take the test and don’t get the score they wanted, it’s usually because they didn’t have enough real-life speaking practice – they only worked out of textbooks. You need to practice speaking with an actual person. You also need to be honest with yourself about where you are with your English abilities so that you have an obtainable goal.
