More tips to improve IELTS score

　　Use text codes

　　For the sake of speed, you can jot down what you heard using codes, shorthand, text spellingwhatever works for you . You can just write the correct spelling, format and grammatical form either during the 30 seconds you are given to check your answers or within the 10 minute transfer time. For example if you have to write University you can just write uni. This saves time and is still recognizable to you. In the IELTS listening exam, answers may be given in such a rapid sequence that you may not have time to write the whole word.

　　Dont lose concentration

　　The important thing is not to let a mistake ruin your concentration and motivation. Some students who were not able to hear a particular item, specially an easy one, say in item number 4 will get mad at themselves for not getting an easy question that their mind will be fixed on blaming themselves rather than on listening to the conversation. They will only go back to the proper state of mind after 3 items in which case they would have lost 4 items instead of just 1.

　　Write down numbers

　　Write the numbers or letters of a name or place as they are said. Do not process it in your mind and then write down the three-digit number. That way you have a better chance of getting it right.

　　Try this technique

　　Most students will lose their concentration within the 30 minutes that the CD recording is played. You can employ a technique called total immersion listening which calls for you to imagine that you are part of the conversation you are listening to. So instead of listening to the CD recording as an IELTS test-taker, imagine yourself as an active and interested participant in the conversation.
