They are not intended to be the only document you look at. Many IELTS students think that ‘tips’ are the only things they need to get a good score. They are not. Make sure you use these as an introduction and use the rest of the document to really progress. Be careful with your spelling. Practise listening to both one person and multiple people speaking. Use the short breaks to move on to the next part of the test. Try to predict the answer before you hear the recording. Read the instructions VERY carefully. If your answers are not grammatically correct, they will be marked as incorrect. Improve your vocabulary and you’ll improve your listening score. Get used to listening to things only once.
