In my last post I mentioned clearly the "6 Steps Kill Programme" that most of the IELTS aspirants follow and ruin their score. In this post I will discuss all their steps and consequences with the solution part. So the six most common steps are as:
A. 98% candidates straightly go the questions section.
Result: They know nothing about the test contents. So, when they get to read the passages they go blank at certain points.
Solution: DO NOT go to the questions section first. Instead, read the title of the passage and go through first few lines of the passage so that you know about the theme of the topic. In this manner you can have a clear vision of your passage. It will help you later when try to study and understand the questions.
B. They start reading the questions.
Result: They are terrified with the questions as they lead them to nowhere.
Solution:You must have a basic idea about the direction where the questions are designed to lead you to.
C. They attempt the questions one by one in the given order, i.e. question 1 to question 40.
Result: They get stuck with a question and waste most of their precious time.
Solution: Break the sequence. Choose your battles. I mean you need to choose which questions to answers first. Basically, you are advised to attempt these questions in the order of your convenience. In this way you can come to the hard questions later. It will save your time and boost your efficiency.
D. They underline most of the words in the questions and then in the paragraph.
Result: Very soon the passage is full of waste words. When you attempt a question, the key words associated to that question become meaningless to other questions. But you keep on underlying the entire passage. This habit is suggested by most of the coaching centers. Due to this so-called trick, students are puzzled by these unnecessary key-words.
Solution: Avoid underlying all or most of the words in the questions and the passage. Use eraser simultaneously.
E. As soon as they get stuck with a question, they start feeling the panic attack.
Result: You starting losing the grip of the test. Soon the situation becomes out of control.
Solution: Focus on your breathing pattern. Inhale-exhale. Breath normally and start the question with a new attitude. Read the question 2-3 times and divide that question in some part. Now you can handle each part at a time.
F. They land in trouble guessing every question's answer they find hard.
Result: This method takes less time. So, most of the candidates use it. It is just like a crash landing but just guessing does not work every time.
Solution: You have to be careful as the wrong answers are very easy to find in the passage and hitting the fluke can lead you to a very bad score.
An you can never ignore the value of a good dictionary. You can buy a good dictionary Here.
Remember, IELTS is not about "Hard work", It is about "Smart work". Keep coming back to my blog and check out my videos on youtube frequently for useful contents.
