Written by professional IELTS teachers to help candidates on the big day 1. You will hear all the options that are given to you in the question. You would have to listen to the audio and interpret the answer from what is asked in the question.
From the above, you can see that all the options that are given in the question is mentioned in the passage. So, you have to listen keenly to identify the answer. The answer for the above question lies in the first line of the paragraph, ‘The first commercial LEDs were used in laboratory equipment.’ 2. Sometimes, the answer options might be of the same kind to confuse you. For instance, it might all be in the form of dates (15 November, 17 November or 18 November). You would have to read the question and listen keenly to the audio to choose the correct answer.
As you can see, the audio has a lot of similar data but the question asks for only one specific data. Thus, you should listen keenly to pick out the specific information out of the same kind of data given. 3. The words used in the question might not be the exact words that you hear in the audio recording. So, you’d have to pay attention to synonyms and how the words are paraphrased.
The word ‘selected’ in the question isn’t found in the paragraph which is the audio script. So, before the audio is played, you should read and pay attention to the questions, so that you can listen to synonyms in the audio. Also, for the answer options, you won’t be provided with the exact words. The paragraph above states that the students were randomly chosen but the answer options do not have these words. Instead it has, ‘arbitrarily selected’, which is similar in meaning to randomly chosen, thus you should be able to identify the synonyms in the question. 4. The information provided in the audio recording might not be in the same order as the options given , so in order to answer the questions correctly, you should have read the questions beforehand to be aware of what is being asked.
5. There would be a lot of distractors in the audio recording. There would be a lot of same kind of information. Sometimes, the speaker might give us any information and then change it which might be the correct answer. So, do not rush and write down the answer as soon as you hear it.
Pay attention to every detail, you might think you’ve got the right answer, but it might change later on. Listen to words like ‘but’, ‘however’ or ‘sorry’ to understand that the answer might change. Watch out for answers that are given and then taken away by the speakers. If you think an answer is right, put a tick next to it in the question paper but keep listening to it to make sure it’s right.
