Free skill guides
IELTS tips, skill by skill.
Five practical tips for each part of the test. Read them here or download the guide.
Listening
Train your ear, not your memory.
4 parts · 40 questions · about 30 minutes
- 1
Predict before you hear
Use the reading time to guess the type of answer — a number, a name, a place, a noun or a verb. Your ear then knows what to catch.
- 2
Follow the signposts
Words like "however", "actually" and "the main reason" announce that the answer is coming. Stay alert when you hear them.
- 3
Wait for the final answer
Speakers often change their minds: "Tuesday… no, sorry, Thursday." The first word you hear is often the trap.
- 4
Spelling counts
A correct idea with a wrong spelling or too many words loses the mark. Use the last minutes to check word limits and plurals.
- 5
Listen every day, in many accents
British, Australian, American, Canadian — podcasts, news and interviews. Ten minutes a day beats two hours once a week.
Common mistake
Writing the first thing you hear instead of the speaker's final answer.

Play a 3-minute podcast clip, note five key facts, then listen again and check.
Reading
Read for meaning, then for detail.
3 passages · 40 questions · 60 minutes
- 1
Skim first
Spend two minutes on titles, first sentences and paragraph structure. Know what each paragraph is about before you answer.
- 2
Scan, then read closely
Find key words from the question — names, dates, numbers — then read the sentences around them carefully.
- 3
Expect paraphrase
The text rarely repeats the question's words. "Increase" becomes "rise", "children" becomes "young people". Build synonym awareness.
- 4
Manage your 60 minutes
About 20 minutes per passage. If a question takes too long, move on and come back — every mark is worth the same.
- 5
False vs Not Given
False: the text says the opposite. Not Given: the text says nothing about it. Don't use your own knowledge.
Common mistake
Matching identical words instead of identical meaning.
Try this today
Read one short article a day and rewrite its main idea in one sentence of your own.
Writing
You can memorize the framework, but can you write?
Task 1 (150 words) + Task 2 (250 words) · 60 minutes
- 1
Answer the exact question
Spend 5 minutes planning your position and two main ideas. An off-topic essay caps your score, however good the English.
- 2
Task 1: show the big picture
Write a clear overview of the main trends and comparisons. Select key figures — don't list every number.
- 3
Task 2: one idea per paragraph
State the idea, explain it, support it with a concrete example. Depth beats a long list of shallow points.
- 4
Use language you control
Memorised phrases that don't fit the topic are easy for examiners to spot. Accurate, natural vocabulary scores higher.
- 5
Keep time to check
Leave 3–5 minutes for articles, verb tenses, subject–verb agreement and punctuation. Small errors add up.
Common mistake
Spending 40 minutes on Task 1 — Task 2 is worth twice as much.
Try this today
Plan (don't write) three Task 2 essays in 5 minutes each: position + two ideas + one example each.
Speaking
Have a conversation, not a recitation.
3 parts · face-to-face with an examiner · 11–14 minutes
- 1
Extend every answer
Answer, then add a reason, an example or a short story. Two or three sentences in Part 1, much more in Part 3.
- 2
Be real, not rehearsed
Examiners notice memorised answers immediately. Talk about your real life — it sounds more fluent and natural.
- 3
Use your Part 2 minute well
Note key words, not full sentences. Plan a beginning, a middle and an ending so you can speak for two minutes.
- 4
Buy thinking time naturally
Phrases like "That's an interesting question…" or "Let me think about that for a second…" keep you fluent.
- 5
Speak English every day
Confidence comes from use, not from vocabulary lists. Record yourself, listen back, and try again.
Common mistake
Giving one-word answers or reciting a memorised paragraph.
Try this today
Pick a Part 2 topic, prepare for 1 minute, record 2 minutes, listen back and note one thing to improve.
