You can drill endlessly but still stagnate if you’re not learning from mistakes. Quality and targeted practice trump quantity.
🧠 Smart Practice Tips
- Focus on Weak Areas
- Tip: If you struggle with Reading True/False/Not Given, devote more time to mastering that question type.
- Bonus: Don’t abandon your strengths entirely; spend 10–20% of study time reinforcing what you already do well.
- Use Mock Tests for Timing
- Tip: Schedule full mock exams weekly or bi-weekly to build stamina and real test familiarity.
- Bonus: Right after each test, note down where you lost marks or time. That reflection is crucial.
- Review Mistakes Carefully
- Tip: Keep a “Mistake Journal.” Write each error down, note the correction, and revisit before your next practice session.
- Bonus: For Listening mishaps, replay the audio with a transcript to pinpoint exactly where you missed the keyword or phrase.
- Use IELTS Scoring Rubrics
- Tip: Familiarize yourself with the official rubrics for Writing and Speaking.
- Bonus: When self-evaluating your writing, mark each sentence for grammar, vocabulary, coherence, and task relevance.
