This condition is common in every exam and IELTS is also one of them. Candidates are afraid of the exam because of different modules have different question types and different conditions and they get scared whether they will able to cope up with them or not. In this article we will see what are the facts of which aspirants are most afraid and how can they tackle them.
Listening Module
In listening most of the test takers are afraid of distractions as everyone knows that the audio is played only once and cannot be repeated so if a person loses his concentration he might miss some valuable information. Even some are afraid that they will not be able to follow the clip.
The solution to overcome this fear is practice. Practice will not only built confidence in you but also enhance the techniques of guessing the answer if something is missed. Practice will make you familiar with all the question types and you will be able to know where you are lacking and you can pay extra attention on them.
Reading Module
In reading the most common fear is to run out of time as many of the aspirants think that they will not be able to finish the exam in the given 60 minutes. As this module is lengthy so it is necessary to manage the time so that they don’t leave any question unanswered.
For this use time management technique for this you should allot a specific time for every section and complete it in the given time. While opting this system some questions may be left unanswered don’t worry about them just leave them and move forward as in the end you will get some time left to go back to them. Even if you don’t have any time left it’s better to leave one question and answer several others.
Writing Module
In writing module many students get nervous by thinking that if they got a topic of which they are not familiar what will they write? And their scores will be deducted for not fulfilling the word limit criteria.
The solution for this is to read lot of essays, books and newspapers so that you can cover maximum topics and grab some ideas from them. The examiners don’t judge your source of information and your scores totally depends upon the matter you write.
Speaking Module
In speaking aspirants are afraid of two things first of not getting the appropriate idea and secondly to interact with the examiner as some are not comfortable talking to the stranger.
Here also the most effective remedy is practice. Cover as many topics you can to gain ideas and practice speaking with your friends or teachers so that your hesitation of speaking ends. This will also boost your confidence and you will be able to talk in front of the examiner. Let me tell you that examiners are quite friendly and they make you comfortable before they start remember they are also teachers so there is no need get nervous in front of them.
