IELTS reading has no transfer time. on the paper test, listening gives you 10 extra minutes at the end to copy answers onto the answer sheet. reading doesn't. the 60 minutes includes writing them on the sheet. so write reading answers straight onto the sheet as you go.

IELTS listening plays each recording once. no replays so the real skill is reading ahead. before each section you get time to look at the questions. use it to guess what fits each gap: a number? a name? a place? when you know what you're listening for, you catch it

IELTS listening and reading are marked right or wrong. no half marks so a correct answer still scores 0 if: - one letter is misspelled - it breaks the word limit. "NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS" + a 3-word answer = wrong british or american spelling both count. colour/color is fine

IELTS speaking part 2: 1 minute to prep, up to 2 minutes to talk use the minute for 4-5 keywords, not full sentences. you won't read sentences out anyway and if the examiner stops you at 2 minutes, that's normal, not a bad sign. running dry at 40 seconds is the bigger problem
