dondanell Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Again, can people do that? I'd love to ask for the recording, because I'm having my speaking module remarked. This was the response I got today when requesting the recording from the listening test. Dear Donavan, Thank you for your enquiry. We cannot supply a recording of your speaking test. This is due to the secure nature of the IELTS test. For further assistance, please contact the test centre where you originally took the test.

Alnaibii Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hi Ascended Alteran I did the test on saturday in Dublin. IIRC the garden was at the site of an old volcano and the students could go to Summer school to do study skills. That's what I put anyway could be wrong but I think I was correct!!!!!!! Carmel OMG, you guys still remember the questions and answers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmel Thanks mate. Guess I got one of them wrong as I wrote Management skills (a pure guess as I didn't hear what the narrator said before "skills").

Niinstalls Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) Had my speaking part this morning! It went really quickly! It was based around music and technology so I was able to babble on for long enough. The examiner really unnerved me though as she didn't really make much I contact and when I was speaking she looked towards my right ear! Wish we got the results starlight away!!!

froggles Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Thanks Guys. I'm sitting mine on the 17th of August so just looking about for the best ways to revise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kezzles Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Thanks Guys.I'm sitting mine on the 17th of August so just looking about for the best ways to revise? Hey froggles reading is all about technique! I actually found that reading the question then looking for answer was easier than reading passage then the question! Look at paragraphs and get a feel what each one is saying the key messages. listening do some practice using audio it will help you get used to concentrating the last section is harder than first bits.. writing just remember start middle end! Start is paraphrasing question middle covers what you said you were going to talk about and end you just summarise what you said. Look through past topics to get a feel of the subjects that come up. speaking test is quite funny if your are a native speaker just relax look at past topics they are not tested your knowledge of subject it's all about fluency and confidence etc. google ielts Simon it's a useful website! I get my results on 9th so hoping all of the above advice has helped!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggles Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Hi thanks for the advise there really appreciate it! Ah good luck with the results.... what do you need to get ? I will get stuck into some revision over the next few days so will definitely check out the link. I think I've got enough points without IELTS but it would be nice to get extra just in case my skills assessment gets confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
