IELTS Retake Study Plan (Second Attempt)
Durasi: 4 weeks · Waktu harian: 2 h · Target: close your specific gap
Untuk siapa rencana ini
You have a score report and a gap to close. A retake without a diagnosis repeats the result — this plan spends its first week finding exactly where the points went, then attacks only that.
Prinsip utama
Your last score report is data. Half a band usually lives in ONE fixable place: a question type, timing, or an output skill. Find it before you rebook.

Rutinitas harian
Pagi: Read one passage or transcript aloud for 10 minutes before anything else — mouth and ear before eyes.
Sebelum tidur: Before bed, review the words you collected today from wrong answers (5–10 minutes, no new material).
Review diri mingguan
- 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?
Rencana adalah rute, bukan janji — tidak ada jadwal yang bisa menjamin skor band. Sesuaikan volume dengan kenyataanmu dan tetap kerjakan latihan output.
