You have one month before your IELTS exam. This week-by-week plan tells you exactly what to study each day for Band 7+.

Start IELTS Preparation

Week 1: Diagnosis & Foundation

Take a full mock test under timed conditions. Identify your two weakest skills. Begin daily vocabulary learning (10 AWL words/day). Read one IELTS blog article per day.

  • Day 1: Full mock test + score estimate
  • Day 2–3: Analyse errors; understand each question type
  • Day 4–7: Foundation exercises for weakest skill + vocabulary

Week 2–3: Intensive Skill Practice

Focus on one skill per day, rotating through all four. Write 2 full Task 1 and 2 full Task 2 essays per week. Do one full Reading section per day. Record 3 speaking responses daily.

  • Writing: 2 Task 1 + 2 Task 2 per week, reviewed with AI feedback
  • Reading: 1 full passage (20 questions) per day, timed
  • Listening: 1 full section per day + error review
  • Speaking: Record 3 responses daily; review vocabulary gaps

Week 4: Full Tests & Refinement

Do 2–3 complete full tests in real exam conditions. Review only your most persistent errors. Focus on timing and stamina. The week before the exam, reduce intensity — rest is essential.

  • Days 22–25: 2 full tests on consecutive days
  • Days 26–28: Error review and targeted practice only
  • Days 29–30: Light review, vocabulary revision, rest
