ELTS is an increasingly popular exam today, especially for many subjects such as junior high school and high school students, IELTS also has the meaning of an exam that determines your future studies. Therefore, to prepare for a smooth IELTS exam , you need to note the following:

Go to bed early, wake up early

No matter what time of the day you are a night owl, you should never stay up too late before the exam, even to review your knowledge. Because the IELTS 3-skill test of Listening – Reading – Writing always takes place in the morning and lasts nearly 3 hours. So if you stay up too late the night before the exam, it can seriously affect your health and mental state for the official exam the next day. In particular, carefully study the way to the exam site so as not to get lost, avoid the risk of arriving late for the exam, you will not be allowed to enter the exam room anymore.

Arrive at the exam site early

Bring identification

You need to bring your original valid ID card/passport and the same type of document as registered on the application form. This is considered as a ticket allowing you to attend the Listening – Reading – Writing test and the Speaking test. If you do not have this type of document, you will not be allowed to take the test.

Eat familiar, filling foods – Limit drinking too much water

Don’t eat anything new or something you haven’t eaten in a long time (to avoid stomach upset). Eat something familiar and something that will keep you full until noon .

You should avoid eating liquid foods like noodles or drinking a lot of water before the test because it will make you want to go to the bathroom during the test, affecting your time and mental state.

Comfortable and… beautiful clothes

At the exam board, you will have your photo taken for your certificate, so if you want your certificate photo to look good, you might consider wearing bright clothes.

In addition, the temperature in the exam room is quite low, so for those who are “weak” and have to “go out in the wind”, you should consider wearing long clothes or bring a light jacket, you will feel comfortable doing the test without having to worry about “shivering” while doing the test.

Raise your hand for assistance during the test.

Before taking the Listening test, candidates will have their headphones tested, so remember to check the sound to make sure you can hear clearly, and be bold to raise your hand and let the invigilator know if you cannot hear or cannot hear the recording clearly.

If you need to use the restroom during the test, raise your hand to notify the invigilator to avoid disturbing other candidates.

Hopefully the above sharing will help you avoid unnecessary troubles in your IELTS exam and do the test smoothly. Wish you success!
