It is a good idea to take some water with you and drik if you cough. Then' apologise to your examiner and continue with your task.

You dream and we fulfil!

The human body is an excellent machine. It knows to operate diligently (subconscious, of course) during essential times. This test is one such situation. Hence, your question becomes null and void. However, should it still happen, albeit hypothetically, there will be remedies. Don't bother.

It will not affect your band score directly, but if it influences your answers, then you have to blame only you.

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.
