2012年上半年的考试题目基本延续了往年的既有模式，只要广大考生按部就班、全面准备，即可*万无一失。朗阁雅思培训中心建议正在备考的同学们做到以下几点：
结合题库“母题”全面准备常考话题解题思路
首先，考生应做到熟练掌握题库“母题”常涉及话题的解题思路，即教育类、环境类、科技类、社会类、政府类、媒体类、旅游类、文化艺术类、国际关系类等话题，并整理出相关话题解题方法，做到能够从“Ideas and Logic”方面从容应对考题，争取写作时间。
结合题库“母题”熟练常见考试题型
其次，考生应熟练处理常见三大考试题型，即Argumentation, Report, 综合类题目，分析总结不同题型的审题方法及文章结构特点，做到直接、全面处理题目涉及的问题并能够合理的安排文章结构。
以（一）、（二）为基础学习、背诵相关段落及范文
然后，考生定要注意语言方面的积累，以常考话题及题型为基础，选择适合自己的文章、段落进行语言方面的学习，重点积累常见句型、话题相关的表达方式，注意谓语动词、时态及语态的学习。
以（一）、（二）、（三）为基础，大量练习、模拟考场写作
*后，考生需对前面三点进行大量练习。注意选择多种话题、题型，尽量应用（三）中准备的语言进行写作。可根据个人情况，开始时适当延长写作时间再逐渐缩短所需时间，并且一定要足量的考试模拟*写作练习。 如写作中出现问题，再回到前三步进行查缺补漏。
