Following are the common IELTS fears and their solutions.
Fear #1
Fear of missing some point in the Listening module?
This fear arises
due to lack of concentration while listening the audio. Some IELTS exam takers while
sharing their experience of attempting IELTS exam tell that their biggest fear
was whether they would be able to follow the recording in the listening section
completely.
‘Practice’

students practice adequately. The more they practice listening, the more
confidence they develop.
With

faculty members design a suitable study plan, customized for each student. It
helps them paying extra attention to those tasks will save precious points and enhance
the overall band score.
Fear #2
Fear of not completing on time
One of the most
common fears is of not finishing reading and writing section on time. This fear
arises due to poor time management skills. Students find any amount of time in
the exam hall inadequate. The only feasible solution they have is to master the
time management skill for the exam.
Assigning a
fixed amount of time to each reading passage and yet reserving 10-12 minutes,
tentatively, for any unanswered questions is the best time management strategy.
What kills the time is the tendency of students to keep finding answer repeatedly
for one particular question and spending more than required time it. This
disturbs the time quota for other questions. Using this approach you can ensure
that you would attempt most of the questions.
Fear #3
Fear of thoughtlessness
At times, candidates
feel that they have become thoughtless. There is a two pronged solution
to this fear. First, one needs to read a lot to develop familiarity with a
variety of essay topics. Second, one needs to write on a variety of topics preferably
assigned by an IELTS expert. One can develop confidence on her/his writing
skills by writing and getting feedback.
Fear #4
Fear of speaking the wrong thing
This fear of expressing inappropriate ideas is very
common. It can be overcome by learning to present ideas in a logical fashion.
One should know that no idea is correct or incorrect. It is the manner of
presentation that matters the most. What makes a difference is - whether the
speaker was presentable, logical, confident, and convinced about the idea herself/himself.
