    Hello friends,

    i'm having a hard time answering multiple choice questions in the listening test. i'm always carried away with distractors. what are effective tips and strategies to attack this question type? what i currently do is reading all the choices back and forth while listening hoping to find the right answer. This is quite challenging. salamat;)

    You're on the right track by reading the choices and trying to eliminate them one by one while you're listening. Just maintain you're focus. The most important part I guess is to understand the recordings as a whole. Goodluck!

    thanks filipinacpa! I see. Sometimes I don't understand the recording as a whole since I focus per sentence of the recording and compare every sentence to all the choices. The checking repeats for each sentence. So it's important to understand as a whole however I feel like I might get lost in the track.

    @thegreatiam15 What do you mean grading system? for computing your band scores it depends on the number of your right answers under listening and reading sub-tests, but for writing and speaking you can never tell what will be the IELTS assessors verdict with your performance, if in case you will apply for a remark. let's say you are not convinced with the result of your exam the senior assessors will do the rechecking of your work and they usually recommend this for speaking and writing sub-test only, since the listening and reading will be graded according to the number of your right answers,so the chance will be slim to have a higher scores after remarking. you can also try this site for IELTS band score calculator==> http://www.examenglish.com/IELTS/IELTS_Band_Score_Calculator.html for OBS try this one===>http://ielts.calculator.free.fr/overall-band-score-calculator.html

    @hopeful_mea sure, I am sharing those review materials to everyone here. I got those for free and I know that it’s worth sharing for. We've got each other's back and I'm pretty sure that we'll able to surpass the IELTS, which is the head start of our Australian dream.Good luck!
