To prepare for the specific types of questions you’ll see on your ILTS exam, it helps to take a practice test. A practice test will make apparent which areas you need to focus on and will help you understand the types of questions that will be on your exam. Then you can use a study guide to focus on trouble areas so that you’re well prepared for the exam!
The study guides at 240 Tutoring are specifically aligned with each test, so you will feel confident that the time and money you spend on their study guides will actually prepare you for the ILTS exam.
Some ILTS exams have constructed-response questions, also known as essay questions. To find out whether you will be answering some of these, check out the test page here. This article is a great explanation of how to prepare for constructed-response questions. If your exam contains essay questions, it’s a good idea to practice writing essays before the exam. Another tip is to organize your thoughts in an outline before starting to write. This will help ensure that your answer is clear and concise.
Now that you know most of the basics about your test, you are ready to start studying. Be sure that your preparation includes both test structure and test material. You can visit the testing website to take a tutorial that shows you exactly what the computer test screen will be like on your exam day. You can also practice using a formula sheet or on-screen calculator if those are part of your test.
