Pre-Listening Activities - Predicting the Answer Predicting what you are going to hear is a really important skill that can help improve your listening and increase your score.  Pre-Listening Activities: Prediction Pre-listening activities  are essential to improve your IELTS listening skills and to improve your score in the test. In addition to guessing whether it is a number, name etc. You should also try to predict what some of the 'other words ' will be. Take a look at the notes on Library Membership , and try to predict the information that you may need. Which questions may need: a) a number?
b) a name (of a person)?
c) a place?
d) a date or day/month/year?
e) another word? In order to prepare you for the listening, write a letter ( a, b, c, d, or e) in the box to indicate what type of information you think you will hear:

Predicting Other Words It is not just about guessing whether it is a number, name  etc. You should also try to predict what some of the 'other words ' will be.
You may find you can guess some correctly without even listening (though of course you must listen to check you are right!).
For example, in question (1)  you need two of something  along with the ID for registration . What do you often need to take ' two of ' to register for something? You should be able to guess.
Or for question (2)  it will be another form of ID . What kind of things can you use for ID apart from a driving licence?
Again, you should be able to guess some possibilities without even listening.

Beware of Distractors! Unfortunately, it is never going to be made too simple for you since the aim is to separate those with weaker skills from those with stronger skills.
Be aware of IELTS listening distractors , whereby the speaker corrects themselves or is corrected, often with an apology such as ' sorry ' or ' no ' mentioned. For most questions, you are likely to hear two or more possibilities  for the answer.
For example, in question (3)  you are looking for the cost   without  a current student card. That means you are very likely to hear the cost  with  one as well. So you need to listen carefully to get the right one.
Again, in question (4) you are asked about the number of items allowed   for a member of the public . So there is probably a different number for a student . You need to get the right number.
This will be true of probably many of the questions - you will hear more than one choice,  but only one will be correct.
If you knew a number was coming up and there was just one number given, it would be too easy!
