IELTS Listening Mastery
You're not bad at listening. You're untrained for IELTS.
Here's something most students never get told. You can be fluent in English and still score 6.5 on Listening. You can watch British films without subtitles, hold conversations with native speakers, work in an English-speaking environment — and still lose marks on this specific test. It's not your English. It's the test. IELTS Listening is built around about a dozen specific traps. Paraphrase. Polarity flips. Speaker attribution. Distractor logic. Signposting. The "mentioned but rejected" answer. The "one speaker only" answer that looks like agreement but isn't. Most students have never had these named for them. They just keep losing marks and don't know why.
