[zulfiqar.halari]

Dear members,

My overall ielts score is 6 with writing & reading at 7. speaking at 6.5 and listening at 3.5

Will it affect the chances of immigration or can i apply with that.

Lower marks in listening is due to hearing problem.

Regards

There is a great chance of rejection. 3.5 means below basic level. Sit for IELTS again

Hi.
Can you confirm if this will be the case even with hearing problem.
Will they not give any consideration?

how come u scored well in speaking section, did your examiner repeat herself/himself many times?
communication involves both speaking and listening skills.

 

[zulfiqar.halari]

Hi.
Examiner didnt repeat himself many times.
Actually, due to hearing issue, I am much comfortable with lip synching, so I can understand easily from the lips of ppls talking to me but not from some recorded or far away voice.

how much did u practice in exam like conditions, like on open speakers?

you are stuck in a difficult situation :'(

let me know how many words you can understand if two or three setences are spoken together.

im thinking if some tricks might help you to raise your score to 5.5-6.0 level in listening section.

I developed some tricks for listening section and that always helped me to locate answers right away in conversations even though I might have missed some words here and there during conversations.

First two sections are the easiest ones, the rate of speech is quite slow. I always scored 7.0 if i did really well in the first two sections.

I can understand anything if spoken infront of me.
But I am ready to try you tricks to increase score in listening band.
Can u let me know what shall i do.

I'll pass on listening tips and tricks to him but it is very important for me to know how applicants start off their listening section in practice tests. People have no clue how important time management is in the IELTS exam. You can not waste a single second wandering around. So I have some general questions for applicants.

here is my email address: asad100101 @ yahoo.com please get back to me with their answers then I'll provide them listening tricks.

1. How do they start off their listening section in practice/real tests?

2. How do they utilize 30 seconds that are given for a volume check (a short audio clip is played for a volume check)? Do they listen to this clip just for the volume check or do they start circling around key information in these 30 seconds?(if you have utilized this 30 seconds time for circling info on your questions, you will always have 30 seconds extra for circling info in other set of questions.). For me this 30 seconds period is a make or break for me.

3. How fast do they write answers on the question paper?

4. Do they circle key info like subjects,verbs, and objects on each question?

What I'd suggest to them.
Don't look at the screen.
Crank up the volume.
Take a note book next to them and keep their head focused on it.
Start writing down key info on their note book(not whole sentences, just two,three key words, it will really help them a lot in writing quickly on their exam paper).
Keep this practice for 30 minutes daily till exam date.
As I told you before, IELTS is all about time management, no matter how good you are at language skills but poor at time management you will skip answers.
You have got to be alert, at all times and you can not afford to be a lazy a.ss for a second.
