IELTS,
the International English Language Testing System, is designed to assess the
language ability of candidates who need to study or work where English is the
language of communication.When you have registered for ielts exams, or if you
have decided to take ielts exams, all candidates need to start preparing for
four skills which is reading, writing, listening and speaking. Ielts exams are
designed to test, that’s why even native speaker usually has a hard time
preparing for this exam, and it is common that native speakers are unable to
score high marks. Therefore, students should not start complaining about these
exams, in my opinion, candidates should start focusing to improve each skill.
Today
will discuss how to improve listening skill and useful material. I strongly
recommend Barron’s Ielts practice exam books. It has a basic practice of listening, in this book they have
given gradual practice for listening, for example first it starts with
listening for numbers, then listening for names and addresses. So students can
learn gradually how to catch difficult required information.
Secondly,
I recommend IELTS-up, it has free listening practice. IELTS Listening Practice
Tests there you can find full IELTS Listening Tests and answers to them. All
tests are constantly being renewed and correspond to the real exam sections.To
get your IELTS Listening score calculated, just follow this procedure:
·
Choose
one of the tests and click on the first section of it.
·
Play
the audio and answer the questions.
·
After
you finish the section, press "check" and you will see the correct
and wrong answers, and get your result.
·
Then
you can go on to the next section and do the same.
·
After
you finish the fourth section, press "Get result!".
This
website has 12 full length exams, it might provide an excellent amount of
practice.The biggest benefit of this website is its free and authentic. Please
follow the link below to visit this website.
Thirdly,
I would recommend IELTS TEST ONLINE. The website is not free you have to pay
$49.95 for 30 days membership. It has a tremendous amount of practice, I
believe it has a hardness level for high intermediate to advanced. Therefore,
so many candidates, even if their level has been advanced but they had left
education for a while it will be hard for them to start on this website. I would
recommend students who haven’t been exposed to the education system for some
periods to start with Barron’s books and then subscribe to membership for more
practice. IELTStestONLINE is the
most comprehensive online IELTS preparation course. With over 80 individual
lessons and more than 350 presentation videos, it has step by step guideline.Click
the link below to visit ieltstestonline.
Fourthly, you have excellent choice Road TO
IELTS from British Council. For one month membership it cost around $49, but personally,
I don’t recommend this membership because it doesn’t have huge practice. Only
it has six practice exams that really worth practicing. Many candidates like to
have this course because it is published by British council so it is relevant
to actual Ielts test. Please click the link below to visit Road to Ielts.
Finally, I would extremely recommend this to
all the candidates who wants to score high band in ielts because it's free and
it has video explanation as well as written explanation. It's “Ielts Liz”, in my
opinion Liz is a great ielts teacher, she has hundreds of YouTube video with
excellent explanations.she had made free video lessons for Ielts listening with
both practice lessons and tips. Her explanation has been appreciated by many
non-native students. Click link below to visit her website
