How to Master the ielts

1 
Use the reading time to familiarize yourself with the types of answers expected; 
for example, a number, letter, word or time.
2 
Pay special attention to the first question, so that you know when to begin.
3 
If the question asks for answers with one word only, be careful not to add any 
extra word or letter by mistake. Pay special attention when choosing between 
similar numbers or clock times.
4 
Copy your answers to the answer sheet exactly as you have written them.
Make sure that your answers are written alongside the correct question 
numbers.
