1. Start studying English – this will help you learn the fundamentals needed for the IELTS test. You cannot go into the exam with a low level of English but a broad knowledge of the test – you will need a combination of these two in order to score highly.
2. Learn about the IELTS test – Study the test-taking strategies and skills needed before going into the exam. That way you will know how to best use your time and can plan accordingly. There are plenty of infographics and blog posts online which will help you with this.
3. Watch films or read books – get familiar with both the pace and cadence of English speech and written texts in order to sound as natural as possible in your Writing and Speaking. These skills will help you pass at least 50% of your exam. Once you are familiar with these you can move onto Listening (which can also be practiced through watching films) and then finally Reading which can be practiced through reading the news or reading both fiction and non-fiction.
4. Study IELTS skills and strategies needed – these skills and strategies are integral to being able to monitor and use your time effectively as well as being able to predict what is coming next, how to answer a long Reading or difficult Listening passage.
5. Take IELTS practice tests included to perfect your new test-taking skills and strategies – take the official IELTS practice tests once you have learned all the skills needed.
6. Learn from your mistakes and improve your English – learn from the feedback given by your IELTS teacher/trainer and learn from where you can improve.
7. Take the IELTS and get your perfect score – take the IELTS after you have studied the test-taking skills and strategies and get your perfect score!
A quick summary:
Learn the format of the productive skills and learn the strategies needed
You need to know how to write various letter/essay types, understand what you need to achieve in each Speaking part including introducing yourself, speaking on a topic for a set period of time, and how to give yourself time to think and know how to describe graphs in the Academic Writing.
Practice!
Once you understand these skills and how to use them, you need to practice them in controlled tests and learn from your mistakes. You will need an experienced IELTS trainer or someone familiar with how to get a high score on the IELTS and with a high, if not native, level of English.
Get Feedback
Feedback on these productive skills is vital. You need to learn from what you did well and what you can improve. Speak to a teacher or examiner and keep trying!
