The highest score in IELTS is 9. To achieve this score will not be so
easy to do. But still, there is an opportunity for you to get it. There
are some important things that you may not forget when you are dealing
with this section.
The first is giving full concentration toward the test. I know that sometimes you loose your concentration. However, you may not loose it during listening section. Not even for a moment you may loose it. Once you have no focus, you will miss some numbers.
The
second is paying attention on spelling. This thing might be ‘small’
part that you may not forget. Spelling is important because if you make
mistakes in spelling, you will loose your score. Make sure that you
spell the word or phrase correctly.
Next, you can read ahead the
question. By doing this step, you will be more prepared to welcome the
next questions. For some test takers, they like to check the answer for
previous questions. Don’t follow this step. Reviewing your answers can
be done ten minutes at the end of the test, when you get time to copy
your answer. Reviewing previous answers at wrong time will give no
benefit to you.
Further, you can also need to highlight the
keyword. The same as in reading, keyword also plays an important role
for you. You should grab the keyword that will help you to get the focus
on the thing that you should listen to. Keyword helps you to know what
you are looking for from the recording. Keyword itself can be names,
places, number, or a description in the question paper. Keyword can be
in form of one word or more. There is no limit given on the number of
words as keyword. This keyword gives you clue on the nature of speech or
conversation in listening section.
