PHASE 1

Training foundation

Eight-week route covering grammar, vocabulary, listening, reading, writing and speaking. Every lesson has a small action, not just theory.

PHASE 2

Demo testing

Timed mini-tests with band-style scoring. Use the diagnostic first, then repeat weekly and track weak areas.

PHASE 3

Older examples

Original IELTS-style examples based on recurring task types. Use them to learn structure, traps and high-band answers.

Recommended rhythm: 60–90 minutes/day, six days/week. Do not skip writing and speaking: they are the easiest sections to neglect.

The pass strategy

Score improvement comes from accuracy, timing and repeatable answers—not memorising random essays.

01
Diagnose

Take one timed demo before studying.

02
Repair

Train the two weakest skills first.

03
Repeat

Retest every 7 days with an error log.

04
Polish

Improve coherence, grammar and pronunciation.

Phase 1 · Training

Build the four skills
one controllable habit at a time.

Complete the eight-week plan in order. Tick a lesson only after you have done the action, not after you have read it.

Daily rule: 20 min vocabulary/grammar + 20 min listening or reading + 25 min writing or speaking + 5 min error log.

Skill modules

Use these as reference while following the plan.

Listening

  • Read questions before audio starts.
  • Predict the answer type: name, number, noun, adjective.
  • Answers usually follow the recording order.
  • Write exactly what you hear; spelling matters.
  • After each practice, replay only the missed section.

Reading

  • Do not read every word slowly.
  • Skim title, first sentence and names/numbers.
  • For True/False/Not Given, demand proof from the text.
  • Watch paraphrases, not identical words.
  • Leave 2 minutes to transfer answers.

Writing Task 2

  • Spend 5 minutes planning position and two body ideas.
  • Use clear paragraphs: topic → explanation → example.
  • Answer every part of the question.
  • Prefer accurate complex sentences over risky decoration.
  • Reserve 5 minutes to check verbs, articles and plurals.

Writing Task 1 Academic

  • Introduction: paraphrase the prompt.
  • Overview: identify 2–3 main trends, no numbers.
  • Body: group similar data and compare.
  • Use units and dates accurately.
  • Do not explain causes unless asked.

Speaking

  • Part 1: answer + reason/detail, not one-word answers.
  • Part 2: use the one-minute preparation to make 4 bullet points.
  • Part 3: opinion + reason + example + contrast.
  • Self-correct naturally, but do not restart every sentence.
  • Record yourself twice per week.

Grammar & vocabulary

  • Study collocations, not isolated words.
  • Keep a personal error list.
  • Practise tense control and subject–verb agreement.
  • Use linking words sparingly and precisely.
  • Review old words after 1, 3 and 7 days.
Phase 2 · Demo testing

Test under pressure.
Measure what to fix.

These are compact diagnostic tests, not official IELTS exams. For a reliable estimate, sit them without pausing or searching.

Phase 3 · Older-style examples

Learn the patterns
without memorising.

These are original practice examples modelled on recurring IELTS task types. They are not copied official past papers. Use them for structure, timing and error analysis.

How to use an example

  1. Attempt it with a timer before viewing the model notes.
  2. Mark every uncertain answer with a question mark.
  3. Compare the logic, not just the final answer.
  4. Add repeated mistakes to your error log.
  5. Repeat after 7 days without looking at your first attempt.
