Wow. Your score is very high minus writing. Please any strategies on reading matching heading question type? Also Any guideline on how you manage timing for reading? I try this approach: 17 minutes section 1, 18 minutes section 2, 25 minutes section 3.

The problem I have is matching headings type and last exam (07/04/18) there were two parts of this question type so I messed up my timing and ended up having only 15 minutes for last section. I am not confident of scoring 7. Between 6-6.5 I think which is why I am planning to sit for 21st April exam :(

Frankly, I did not follow any strategies for the reading section as it was my first attempt. I tried various ways to answer the reading section during my online practice tests. The various ways were
1. Read the entire passage first and then look at the questions.
2. Read all the questions first and then read the entire passage and highlight points that are relevant to the questions.
3. Read 1st question, go to the passage and search the answer, then read 2nd question and search its answer and so on..

After trying all the ways, I realised I am more comfortable with option 2. (Read all the questions first and then read the entire passage and highlight points that are relevant to the questions.).

I kept the heading type questions for the end as it eats up a lot of your time. I read the entire passage at least twice to get a grip on how the passage is structured. Accordingly, I selected the headings....

Can you guys share how to get band 8 in Listing? I think Listing is the hardest part in IELTS test, especially the matching in listening. I got LRWS 7 8 7.5 7.5 last time. I am going to try it again on 21st April :(

Hi,
The only tip that I can suggest is "Practice as many test papers as possible" Youtube has enough practice tests. Just type "IELTS Listening practice test" and you will find a plethora of practice tests. Try out one test paper everyday till the date of exam and I think this should be good enough to score high.
