You must realize that IELTS is one of the hardest
English proficiency tests ever existed and you cannot belittle it if you want
to get good scores out of it. From the four sections you can find on the test,
one of the most difficult tests especially for people who do not use English as
second language is actually the listening section. And from a lot of test
takers’ experiences, one thing that makes them do fatal mistakes is by
belittling this part. For instance, if you are pretty sure about your answer of
questions about date and then you write it in the incorrect form, it would mean
that you throw away getting good scores on this section because this type of
questions will appear not once but many times and if you keep doing the same
mistakes then it will just only risk your score.
For example, when you hear 12th June 2013,
you will most likely write it 06/12/2013 which is American style and the people
who will do the correction will also be confused because 06/12/13 for British
people is 6th December 2013 which means they will likely to mark
this as an incorrect answer even though your understanding is correct, just
because you make mistakes on transferring the answers on the answer sheet, they
will mark them as incorrect.
The safest way is to actually write the whole for in
which you have to write 12th June 2013, 12 June 2013, June 12, 2013,
or June 12th 2013. And do not forget to never use the shorten form
when you want to write months or days (Aug or Sun) because they will also take
it as incorrect answer. Other than to note this kind of little detail, you also
need to practice more often hearing numbers and alphabets.
