IELTS Intensive Study Plan (Full-Time, 2 Weeks)
Duración: 2 weeks · Tiempo diario: 6 h (3 × 2 h blocks) · Objetivo: current +0.5 to +1.0
Para quién es este plan
You can study most of the day — student holidays, between jobs, or a dedicated sprint. Six focused hours beat twelve distracted ones; this plan structures three 2-hour blocks.
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.

Mañana: Read one passage or transcript aloud for 10 minutes before anything else — mouth and ear before eyes.
Antes de dormir: Before bed, review the words you collected today from wrong answers (5–10 minutes, no new material).
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?
