What things you should not do while preparing for the IELTS examination:
Choose the right method and improve it. (Don’t use shortcuts)
Studying IELTS for years on end, learning idioms and phrases to try to cheat the test, memorising your answers, or going to the test with no knowledge of how the IELTS works. If you do these things, you are making a fool of yourself and the examiner will make fun of you in the break!!
Instead you must: Allocate time in improving your English skills, learn natural English expressions like phrasal verbs , be ensure that you did al ot of practice, learn about IELTS and watch some practice tests online to know exactly what to expect.
Otherwise, it’s like trying hard to play a sport without having information about rules and on the whole it will be obvious, “You have no idea what you are doing no matter how good your clothes look!
Obey the Unwritten rules of IELTS
IELTS is full of unwritten rules, just like real life!
Some real life unwritten rules include:
•Don’t stop to read your phone in the middle of the sidewalk.
•Turn off your high beams if there are other cars.
•Don’t pee right next to someone at a urinal.
•Don’t text ‘K’ or ‘Kk’ .
•Say ‘thanks’ to people who open the door for you, this shows your politeness.
•Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze.
•Don’t speak too loudly into your phone.
The unwritten rules of IELTS are:
•Don’t tell the examiner your life story.
•Don’t tell the examiner what score you need in the test.
•Don’t ask what your score is at the end of test.
•Don’t try to shake the examiner ‘s hand unless they offer first.
•Don’t ask the IELTS examiner any questions.
•When the examiner asks a short question at the end of part 2, give your answer in brief.
•Don’t ask the grader to explain whole questions, only words, in part 1.
•Try to be specific as possible in part 3.
•Don’t try to have a long conversation with the examiner after the test ends.
•Don’t try to look at the questions the examiner is asking or what the examiner is writing down.
Maintain cleanliness
Majority of you just skip this one because you are not an overgrown man_child. However, you would be surprised by the number of candidates who show up looking like they just climbed out of the nearest garbage bin.
It shouldn’t impact on your scores. It probably doesn’t.
But still……..
It’s bad enough that the grader probably looks like trash_clean yourself up a bit!!
Please do at least the following to spare your examiner:take a shower,wear clothes,have a breath mint or two (this is most important), don’t vigorously scratch any part of your body during the test or pick your nose ( it’s not a joke, students do these silly things.)
Be Humble
There is nothing which turns off examiners more than arrogance (besides body odour or bad breath).
Here are some of the things that you shouldn’t do:
•Don’t get late_ you might take the examiner wait!
•Don’t talk about how rich you are_ examiner are poor, lonely, lost souls filled with hatred for people who are more successful than themselves!!
•Don’t look annoyed or impatient with every question the examiner asks.
•Be respectful, listen carefully, don’t be rude at any point.
So, follow these suggestions for putting a good impression in front of the examiner .
THANK YOU:)
