Our IELTS expert, Melody, has shared more pointers on how students can get the most benefit out of their IELTS preparation classes.
If you are studying alone at home, you don’t have access to external input and advice. However, when you are part of an IELTS preparation class, your teacher will encourage you to ask questions during class time, even if you think they’re unrelated to what the class is working on.
You will benefit from the instructor’s answers, but others will benefit from your questions too. Good classmates inspire and encourage each other to be inquisitive.

COVID-19 is changing the way we live, work and go about our daily lives, but that doesn’t mean you have to completely pause the pursuit of your study abroad or migration goals.
Today, we want to share a helpful study tip from IDP that you can use during this time to help prepare for your test day.
*Tip: Get familiar with the IELTS test format*
There are four parts to the IELTS test.
Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.
Each test part is made up of question types that assess your English-language skills in either an everyday work environment or life situation, academic or professional setting.
Make sure to look at how much time you have to complete each test part, what type of questions you might receive, what the band descriptors look like, and what you can do to achieve the band you desire.
You can learn more about how each IELTS section is marked at the link in our bio.
Keep an eye on this page for more study tips and as always, let us know if you have any questions.

Our IELTS expert, Melody, has shared more pointers on how students can get the most benefit out of their IELTS preparation classes.
Record new vocabulary in order to use it in conversation. Try not to make lists of all the words that you don’t know. Choose high frequency words or words that were repeated in a text and use them rather than memorize them.

Our IELTS expert, Melody, has shared more pointers on how students can get the most benefit out of their IELTS preparation classes.
After doing a Listening practice test, identify what section of the test is the most challenging for you and read the audio transcript, also known as a “script”. Underline the answers to the questions that you made mistakes in and note how the questions and answers on the test have been paraphrased.
Listening for synonyms and paraphrases is a skill that will help you perform well on the Listening module of the IELTS test.

Our IELTS expert, Melody, has shared more pointers on how students can get the most benefit out of their IELTS preparation classes.
Being in a class with other learners gives you a distinct advantage over studying alone.
When your classmate (speaking partner) has finished speaking, ask them a follow-up question. This practice not only builds your active listening skills but also makes your partner feel like you were paying attention and interested in what they were saying.

Our IELTS expert, Melody, has shared more pointers on how students can get the most benefit out of their IELTS preparation classes.
Practice speaking by recording yourself answering IELTS Part 1, 2 or 3 speaking questions. Once finished, see if you can identify grammar errors, or hesitations and pauses you make that may affect fluency. Re-record yourself with these necessary changes.
Repeat again if need be, or start over with another set of IELTS Speaking questions.

We asked IELTS expert, Melody, to provide some pointers on how students can get the most benefit out of their IELTS preparation classes. Here is what she shared.
Set realistic goals for yourself when planning on taking the IELTS test. Determine what score you need and work towards building your English language skills first. Once you are ready, focus your attention on IELTS test taking skills.
If you don’t know your current English level, use a quick online quiz such as GV’s Free Level Check. Link in our bio! Once you’ve completed this test, your score will be delivered to your email inbox and you will have a rough estimate of your English level. A more thorough assessment of your English skills will be made when you register in an IELTS test preparation course. This will help you determine the specific English skills you should develop in order to achieve the IELTS test score you require.
