IELTS exam tips
Here are some http://www.dcielts.com/?p=1297 that I do not recommend for IELTS exam day.
Speaking
Always give a long answer and keep on speaking until the examiner stops you. This will only make you incoherent.
Reading
Never spend more than one and a half minutes on any question. Not all the questions are equal. There are a variety of timing strategies possible and it can make sense to spend longer on some questions than others.
Writing
Give yourself as much time to write as possible and only spend 1-2 minutes planning. If you plan well, you will write more quickly and more accurately. Think 10 minutes, not 2 minutes.
Listening
Concentrate on key words in the question. You don't know what the key words are until you have listened. Concentrate on the whole question and what it means.
