I am having problem with the listening section in IELTS. My specific problem is with last part of listening section where the pace of information is high and you have to understand it all to answer questions 31 -40 .
Hi Varun,
Listening is a highly complex section, but your practice and proper usage of strategies can help you achieve your required band score.
All four sections consist of various types of questions that require to be answered using different techniques.
Now, coming to the last section, which is usually a form. It is used to be a Lecture on some topic with a single speaker, so it's straightforward to attempt these questions because we have to concentrate on one voice only. Next is to mark the keywords ( nouns, adjectives ) in the question paper that will help you while listening is played. You should practice YouTube videos with speed management, too, in settings.
Thanks,
I hope it will help you.
Hello Varun,
Your issue is understandable since the IELTS reading section structure is designed to get more challenging as you proceed through each passage.
It is advisable to practice skimming through the text to find out what is most relatable to the questions. For this, you must learn to read in groups or phrases. If you try to read each line word-by-word, it'll be hard for you to decipher the paragraph's overall meaning, given that you have limited time and the given text is quite dense.
I hope this helps.
Hi Varun,
All the Best!

The information is in the short notes form, but you will hear a more detailed explanation in the audio. So, be careful to identify the audio's relevant information as per the keywords in the question and the blank's expected answer.
When you are reading the questions, circle the keywords. The key words refer to the essential information in the question. Some keywords are easy to identify, such as an academic term or a name; others are subtle. You need to listen carefully to the keywords in the recording.
Speaker in the audio would also be talking continuously in the order of the question. So, it would be best if you concentrated a lot to avoid skipping the audio. Do not look at your previous attempts to check if you have solved the question correctly or missed any question before. Please pay close attention to the words that are closer to the blanks, especially prepositions such as to, for, into, of etc., because your answer in the audio would be exactly around them, in most cases.
Most important, practice a lot Varun.
Good luck!
Hello Varun,
I understand this is a problem area for most candidates, but the solution is simple given that you practice well. Here's what you'll have to do.
Focus more on the first 5 Questions, i.e. 31-35 (you'd find standard traps here).
The last 5 (36-40) can be solved even with ease as they usually are more direct and straightforward.
I know that it's going to work well for you.
Good luck with your IELTS preps!
Hi Varun, for the last section in the listening, try to practice note-taking ability first, helping you multitask. Start practising by listening to the audio, taking notes, reading the questions, and figuring out the answers. In this way, initially, you'll be able to get at least 5 out of 10. With regular practice, you'll be able to get 10 out of 10.
All the Best!
To answer the last section of the IELTS listening test;
Good luck!
