Listening: Keep your focus on the audio clip. If you lose your focus even for a bit, it will result in a lot of confusion. The most important part of listening is understanding the clip. Watching a lot of movies without subtitles would help a lot in this regard. Keep doing the practice tests so that you will get the hang of what listening is all about.
Reading: Read the whole passage first before attempting the question. The common mistake which most people commit is going through the questions first. If you read the whole passage first, while going through the questions you will be able to figure out what the answer is, easily. In order to excel in reading, one needs to improve their speed of reading. This can be done only by constant practice.
Note: this strategy will work better for people who already read fast. Others, who don’t have high reading speed and don’t have time to improve it before the exam should try another strategy, which is reading the questions first.
Writing: A proper introduction, a body and conclusion. This structure needs to be followed properly.
- Introduction should be interesting and your opinion should be highlighted properly.
- The Body should elaborate on what the introduction is about.
- The Conclusion should contain a summary of whatever has been explained in the body.
Go through the sample answers available on the internet before practicing on your own, so that you can get an idea regarding how the answer should be written.
Speaking: There isn’t a right or wrong answer in the Speaking test. What the examiner is looking for is, how well you can understand a question and how well you can speak. Your accent should be easily understandable and you should not speak too quickly. Take your time with the answers as this is not an interview, which judges your knowledge on the subject.
