Many students may be able to watch a movie in English and understand most of it, but still can’t get high scores on the Listening Exam.
Such as this student:
My biggest IELTS fear is Listening. Normally, I can understand the whole idea. But, if I miss a single gap, or answer, I lose my focus completely and it really affects all my other answers.
This reminds us of our 3 Keys student Roberto, who was the only student in the room to be using strategies. That’s why he got a 8.5 (Jessica said 7.5 on the show- that was a mistake!).
Another student, Maeva, also got an 8.5 in Listening on her recent IELTS Exam, using our strategies.
This is why strategies are so important. You need them to fall back on if you miss something, or else the whole test spirals out of control.
Listening should be the easiest part! It’s the very first section on test day.
