1. There is a lot of text in the IELTS test. It's not just candidates who need to write two essays of over 400 words in one hour. Due to the large amount of text in reading, candidates should work hard to improve reading speed when preparing for the exam. In listening, it is different from the previous listening tests. The Cambridge Examination Board will print the questions along with the options on the test paper. In order to be aware of the questions before listening to the recording, candidates must have the ability to read quickly and accurately.

2. Familiarize yourself with the question types before the exam. There are many types of IELTS test questions. For many first-time questions, candidates need time to read and understand the intent of the question. In the test that counts every second, it is tantamount to disguising the candidates in disguise. Before the exam, candidates need to have a thorough grasp of some very special IELTS questions. For example, the label question in listening is a question type that combines pictures with blank questions. Candidates are required to name each part on a picture. Candidates must be clear where the part of the title is required to be marked, whether the content is filled in name or detailed explanation, and finally pay attention to details such as upper and lower case singular and plural.

3. The T / F / NOT GIVEN question type in reading. Candidates should be familiar with the situation referred to by the NOT GIVEN option. In addition to this situation not appearing literally in the article, there are some large-scale and small-scale comparisons. Logical reasoning, goals and results, ideas and actual situations. 4. Candidates should have a right attitude. Although the IELTS model is different from many previous domestic exams, the ultimate purpose is to examine the language and practical applications. Therefore, a good attitude can help candidates to play their true level normally without having to be overly nervous.
