Usually, the answers will follow.2) One must understand the types of questions as there are about ten disparate patterns such as fill in the blanks, match the headings, and true, false, not given.3) IELTS is all about paraphrasing - understanding the ideas in a different way by using varieties of synonyms.Of course, there are many more specific tips related to different passages. The trainers are better equipped to guide the students depending upon their personality and their language level. read less

I am having problem with the listening section in IELTS. My specific problem is with last part of listening section where the pace of information is high and you have to understand it all to answer questions 31 -40 .
You can definitely focus on the keywords or connecting words in the question and try focussing on the words being spoken during the listening test. This will enhance the probability of you spotting the right answer against the noted keywords.
