Hi Simon,
I'm taking IELTS tests as I'm going to study in Canada. For now, my band of listening reaches 7. But when I listen to BBC news radio or online videos, I still cannot get the overall message well. In most cases I need to listen to the same piece for more than one time to understand what it's talking about. But in listening tests I think I can find most answers. I just wonder how I could get through my life abroad if I cannot understand well information from radio, vedio or TV. Is it because the topics of IELTS Listening are kind of fixed and simple? Or my level and vocabulary of band 7 are still too limited?

Hi, Simon, I think I am good at gap fillings in listening part, but the multiple choice question is really tough for me, especially in section3 and 4, could you please give some more tips about that, thanks.

Hi Simon,
I have a question about time management in listening sections. As you know the first questions in sections 1 , 2 are often easy.
but in sections 3 and specially 4 are getting immediately difficult. Most of the time I don't have enough time to skim them. So is it correct in first sections' s time, I skim the questions of last section?

@Azadeh, I got some tips from the IELTS teacher: When you are allowed to open the exam paper, you should scan section3 &4 first, especially there are some mutiple choice questions.You should back to section1 till you hear the tape say the example of section1.And dont return to check the answers you have done,just move ahead. There are remain 10 minutes for you to check and transfer them to the answer sheet.
