Now check out these quick tips of time management for a better IELTS score

Tip 1: 1 Minute to Read Questions

For reading the passage, spare one minute to read all the questions and the 9 minutes for skimming and scanning the passage, and one more minute for transferring your answers. Here is your 20 minutes plan for each passage. That is 60 minutes exact time for 3 passages.

Tip 2: Skim it and Scan it

Passage reading is a challenge for time management. No one asked you to understand the passage. You will read it just to answer the question. So quickly scan it and answer. 

Tip 3: Never Get Stuck at One Point

When you read the question and if you feel like it needs brainstorming, never waste your time on such questions. Move on to the next and if you have spare time, come back and check.
