IELTS Study Plan
A good study plan is dated, measurable, and honest about your weekly hours. Start from your target band and test date, then work backward.
Set Weekly Outcomes
Example week (adjust hours):
- 2× full Listening sections with review
- 3× Writing (Task 1 + Task 2) with feedback
- 4× Speaking timed practice
- 3× Reading passages with error log
Track Mistakes
Keep a error notebook: grammar patterns, spelling mistakes, question types you miss.
Final Month
- Weekly full mock
- Light new content—mostly review and timing
Frequently asked questions
How many weeks do I need?
Depends on your gap to target band and study hours per week. Plan a diagnostic first, then set weekly skill targets.
How do I balance the four skills?
Spend more time on weak skills, but keep one session per week on strong skills so they do not slip.
Should I take full mocks?
Yes—regularly, under timed conditions, especially in the last month before your test.
