Effective IELTS preparation is not about studying more hours — it is about studying the right things in the right order with realistic timelines. This lesson provides concrete study plans based on your starting level, target score, and available preparation time.
Before creating a study plan, you need to know where you currently stand. The most accurate way to do this is to take a full practice test under timed conditions and score it honestly.
| Method | Accuracy | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Full Cambridge IELTS practice test (from the official book series) under timed conditions | High | Cost of the book (£20–30) |
| Free online practice tests (British Council, IDP) | Moderate | Free |
| Self-assessment against CEFR descriptors | Low | Free |
| Diagnostic test at a language school | High | Often free as part of a consultation |
