Episode notes
Audio Starts Automatically
- You cannot start, stop, or slow the listening audio; it plays automatically on both paper and computer exams.
- Use the 30 seconds before each section to highlight keywords and make predictions before the audio begins.
Use All Caps To Avoid Capitalization Errors
- Most computer test centers allow caps lock and typing in ALL CAPS is permitted on IELTS answers.
- Use all caps to avoid capitalization errors, but practice first because it can slow your typing speed in the written test.
Write Phonetically And Fix Later
- If a word's spelling stalls you during the audio, write a quick phonetic version or best-guess spelling and move on immediately.
- Rely on the time after sections to correct spelling so you don't miss subsequent answers.
