IELTS 2-Week Study Plan (Intensive)
Duración: 2 weeks · Tiempo diario: 3–4 h · Objetivo: current +0.5
Para quién es este plan
Your exam is in two weeks. There is no time to rebuild your English — this plan converts what you already have into the most points, fast. Expect 3–4 focused hours a day.
El principio clave
Input alone (memorizing words, watching lessons) stores knowledge; only OUTPUT (dictation, timed tests, speaking aloud, outlining) turns it into a band score. Every day below mixes both — never skip the output half.

Autoevaluación semanal
- Listening: is your score stable or rising? Which section loses the most points?
- Reading: are you finishing in 60 minutes? Which question type costs you most?
- Did you do the OUTPUT work (dictation, outlines, speaking aloud) — or only input?
- Write one sentence: what will you do differently next week?
