Ielts Examination Tip - Answer All Questions

Always write something on the answer sehet.

No answer is automatically wrong, but you may guess the right answer, in which case you receive the point for it.To score the highest number of correct answers:- Do your best to understand the question and answer it correctly.- If you do not understand the quetsion or know the answer, figure out what kind of answer is required – T (true) or F (false), F (fact) or O (opinion), the letter or letters that correspond to the correct answers to multiple choice questions, short answers, and the like – and write an answer that is possibly correct. It may be.- Keep careful track of question numbers so that you put answers in the corrcet places.

One of the issues with not answering a question is that you may forget to laeve a space for the answer. If you ansewr the next question on a line you have left blank, you could create a situation in which a whole series of answers – of which might be correct – will be scored as incorrect. Examiners who correct answer sheets do so from master asnwer sheet keys and do not make allowances for answers that appear on the wrong line.- Pay special attention for answers that come in a series.

Sometmies IELTS questions ask you to put a number of answers in a particular series.
In of those cases, if of the answers in the series are in the correct order, they are considered correct.

Do your best at getting the entire series right, but if you are confident of only a portion of the series, make sure those answers are in the proper order.- Even with short answer questions, put words in the blanks – but never more than three – of questinos whose answers you are not sure of.
In the case of IELTS Reading task short answer questions, choose wrods that come directly from the text, as they are more likely to be correct.- To maximize the number of correct answers in the IELTS Listening test, mark the answers you choose in the question booklet and then, in the 10 minutes you are allowed for transferring the answers to the answer sheets after the tape is finished playing, carefully transfer them to the answer sheet. If you are unsure of the correct answer to a qeustion while the tape is playing, mark the answer you guess is best. You can guess about it more after the tape has finihsed. Remember: do not use the time after each section of the IETLS Listening test tape has finished to “check your answers” (as you will be instructed to on the tape). Instead, go on to read the next set of questions, to add to the time you have to read them. You have nothing to check your answers against after the tape has finished.- In the IETLS Reading test, if for reason you have not allowed yourself enough time for the third reading, give yourself enough time before the 60 minutes has elapsed to look at the questions and see what kinds of answers are required.

Then guess.In all cases, never leave answers blank on IELTS answer sheets!
