As seniors your already know the IELTS exam well. Now its time to raise your game and polish your skills. Keep these top ten tips in mind throughout the year, in class, during quizzes and most of all come April 28th, 2011 - the day of your official IELTS exam. They will be sure to help you!
1. Read the question carefully. Underline key words. Be sure to be on task.
2. Don’t start writing right way – think and be strategic. Have a plan. Don't just jump into the writing process.
3. Write enough words. That means 150 for task 1 and 250 for task 2.
4. Don’t write too many words. More words means wasted time and more chances at making mistakes.
5. Don’t copy whole sections of the question. These words will not be counted towards your overall total.
6. Time is your enemy. Time Management should always be on your mind.
7. Task 2 is worth more. Do it first.
8. Check your writing. If you finish with time to spare use every minute to double-check your work.
9. Expand your vocabulary. If you know another words for something simpler use it. Watch for repetition. Be precise. Use what you know.
10. Think about who will mark your test. Use paragraphs, neat writing and organization.
