Are you an experienced and learned English Speaker? Are you well-versed in all the faculties of English: Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing?
If you answered yes to both the questions, then you certainly have the belief to get high band score in IELTS. This may be because IELTS is going to test your English language skills in all these four faculties.

You need to improve upon your IELTS skills by continuously improving your Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking skills in the English language.
But, how do you do this? Follow these few strategies to convert your beliefs into results:
Listen to English actively
What does this mean? It means that you need to listen to English language in everyday setting on a regular basis.
Do you cook? Then, listen to your favourite BBC Radio Show while cooking your favourite recipe.
Do you travel by bus or train every day? Utilise this time while you are commuting watching YouTube Videos on the language or just plainly listening to English songs. But, how do you do it actively?
Write down any difficult words you come across. Then, look up these words in a dictionary for their possible meanings. Use the dictionary and internet to enhance your vocabulary by searching and writing down their antonyms, synonyms, collocations etcetera. Finally, review these words later on. In this way, you will not only actively enhance your listening skills but your vocabulary also.
