Track Your Preparation

Preparing for IELTS could be quite gruesome if you do not keep track of what you are learning. What are the areas you are making mistakes. What are your strong points? What are your weak areas? What all did you learnt today? What is the target for tomorrow?

Track Your Preparation

It is very important that you know the answer of the above questions. It is also important that you know the answers for each day. Although initially you may find this task as trivial, because you have just begun and there is an ocean in front of you. but, when you start becoming more proficient in English, keeping track of what you are doing, helps you to be motivated to learn more.
Now how do you keep track of your everyday learning? Make a journal, it could be a diary or a note in your phone or laptop. For each day, answer the two questions, first what did I learned today? And second what I need to learn tomorrow?

This will help you to be in track and remain focused towards your goal. Remember, IELTS taker, you need to be consciously and subconsciously devoted to IELTS, if you want a good band.

Make Specific Goals

You must be having goals in your life. Rather, goals are regarded the most important step to be successful. But the point is not whether you make goals or not. How effectively you make your goals leads you to success. For example, if you made a goal that I want to study in Harvard university. Now this is no goal or you can say a very poor goal. Poor, not in a sense that you have chosen a bad university, but because you haven’t put in the details of getting there.

A better goal could be I will get a band 9 in IELTS to get admission in Harvard University. And then how will you get a band 9? You need to specify that as well. a reasonable goal could be, I will learn 10 idioms today. Or, I will learn 20 verbs related to swimming today. So, what are you doing here? You are making a goal that can be achieved. You have exactly specified how much and in what time. it is when you fulfil all such small, yet important goals you finally reach to the big goal.

Remember, it is never about the big goal or the ultimate desire or aim, it is how well you accomplish the small goals that lead you to the big one. Make sure that your goals are specific.

Prepare For Speaking Without Help

IELTS has a speaking section. So how do you prepare for this section?While some have the opportunity to go to a coaching center, what about others.I say prepare for speaking without help. While doing this some of you may be lucky to have people who talk in English with you 24/7. There are some who find it difficult to have a partner to talk to. What should you do? You can aim two things with the same stroke.

  1. Download speeches of people who are admired for their speaking skills. Listen to their speeches. But then just don’t listen. Often the transcripts of the speech are available in Internet. Download them as well and try to speak with them. Try to speak like them. Don’t just blindly follow them, but you can surely grasp those essentials of speaking.
  2. Also bear it in mind that the speech that you use, is of a person who is admired for his / her speaking capabilities. It could be Hitler or Obama or Ruth Levine.
    This will include lot of pausing and rewinding and forwarding. But in the end you will surely improve your listening as well as speaking skills.

Remember it is not just about cramming the syllabus. You need to prove that you deserve it.

Prepare For IELTS With Podcast

When preparing for IELTS you usually don’t just prepare for it. There are so many of you who have got a job, and then there are some of you who have to do other things as well, may be exercise or go out. There are times when we travel. You cannot always carry a book with you while traveling. It may become gruesome for you. What happens to this time? Wasted? You can always save this time, and even take a break.

“Subscribe to podcast” is all that you need to do. What is a podcast?
A podcast is like your mp3 audio file, that you can listen on any device that has a media player. You can visit the podcast provided by the British council or even by BBC. The advantage of this is that even when you are not literally preparing for IELTS, you actually are. This is like a subconscious attempt. There are podcast available on different areas. Some are on world war others on comedy and many more.
Go on, download podcast, subscribe to them, listen when doing trivial things like travelling or jogging and still prepare for IELTS.

Losing is no option, just fix this in your mind and prepare well.
