Well done to everyone who took IELTS recently!

Pelawat, preparing for the IELTS and aiming for a Band 7 score is a challenge, especially when time is limited. Many students just think of it and give up - before they even started.

Often people think they don't have enough time to study and that IELTS preparation means you have to spend hours studying. However, my experience proved times and times again that, with a focused approach, it's entirely possible to achieve IELTS Band 7 in just 60 days by dedicating only 30 minutes each day to your study.

So I am going to give you a strategic plan to optimise your study time, specifically targeting the skills needed to secure a Band 7 in your IELTS exam.

Find 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week

The first thing I'd like you to do is go over your week and find 5 days where you can study for IELTS 30 minutes a day. Make a timetable for your study schedule.

It can be something very simple - like this:

Monday, Tuesday: 19:00 - 19:30

Wednesday, Thursday: 20:00 - 20:30

Friday: 12:00 - 12:30

Your 60-Day IELTS Band 7 Study Plan

Week 1-2: Laying the Foundation

Initial Assessment: Start by taking a practice test to find out your current level. Focus on identifying areas where you need improvement to reach that IELTS Band 7. These are the areas where you didn't give enough correct answers for a Band 7. Use this calculator to find out your current score.

Work on Individual Skills: Allocate dedicated days to practice 30 minutes a day for each IELTS skill (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking). Use these resources tailored for IELTS Band 7:

Online practice tests
Downloadable and printable practice tests

Week 3-4: Intensive Skill Mastery

Reading and Listening: Alternate between reading and listening exercises. Aim to understand complex texts and audio materials, a crucial step for achieving IELTS Band 7.

Writing: Focus on essay writing but don't neglect writing Task 1 reports / letters. Pay attention to structure, coherence, and advanced vocabulary – key elements for a Band 7 score.

Writing an essay initially takes longer than the 30-minute session you have planned, so break it down into two session. Use one session to plan your essay and think of ideas and vocabulary to use in it. Next day write your essay following the plan and using your notes from the day before.

Speaking: Practice speaking on a variety of topics. Record yourself to self-evaluate and improve.
