Tips Belajar IELTS

-
Hallo there,
How have you been? I hope that you are doing great.
All right, this time I gonna share with you the things that I did before I take IELTS test.
Nowadays, many people sit for IELTS test because they want to study overseas through some scholarships either from Indonesian government or international. IELTS costs quite expensive for me and it is about $200 or equal to Rp 2.800.000,- but it can be higher or lower, depends on the exchange rate on that day.
So, here are the tips:
1. Familiar yourself with the test type by practising. Make routine activities doing the sample of the test
2. Always concentrate with what the speakers say in the listening section. When it has a number in the test, try to imitate what the speakers mentioned.
3. For me, there are similar sound and sometimes it is quite difficult for me to differentiate those sounds if I am not concentrating. Those sounds are "b", "p", "8" and "h". The solution for this problem is by guessing the answer. You can write by putting noun, adv, adj or phrase.
4. Try to do skimming and scanning. In reading section, it works for me by underlining every keywords, numbers, names and place to answer the questions
5. Practice speaking by yourself. You can record what you say with your phone or you can practice it with the speaking apps.
6. Keep speaking when in the real test until the interviewer stops you
7. If you do not know how to say that in English, try to describe it, such as by mentioning the shape, colour, characteristics or synonym. 
8. Bear in your mind SPAT (spelling, plurals, subject-verb agreement, and tense) in writing section
9. You can paraphrase the description. Remember paraphrase
10. Make your outline first before you get into it.
Other than those tips, you can practice first before you sit for IELTS tests, such as reading journals or news in English, listening to English radio programs such as BBC, Aljazeera or NPR. The point is to keep practising, the more you do it, the better result you will get. Good luck!
