IELTS Reading Improvement Plan
준비 기간: 3–4 weeks · 하루 투자 시간: 1.5 h · 목표: reading +1.0
이 플랜이 필요한 분
Reading is your bottleneck — you run out of time or bleed points on T/F/NG and headings. This plan installs a location system and a per-passage time budget.
핵심 원칙
IELTS reading is a LOCATION task before a comprehension task: find where the answer lives, then read that part deeply. Skim the structure, scan for keywords and their synonyms, budget time by question mix.

Phase 1 — Method (Weeks 1–2)
One question type at a time, untimed. Learn each format's single method.
이럴 때 다음 단계로: You can state the method for T/F/NG, headings, and matching in one sentence each — and hit 70%+ on drills.
매일
One reading passage, timed by its question mix (2 types ≈ 16 min, 3 types ≈ 20, 4 types ≈ 25)→

이럴 때 다음 단계로: Three consecutive tests finished inside 60 minutes at target accuracy.

매일의 루틴
아침: Read one passage or transcript aloud for 10 minutes before anything else — mouth and ear before eyes.
자기 전: Before bed, review the words you collected today from wrong answers (5–10 minutes, no new material).
주간 자기 점검
- Finishing inside 60 minutes yet? Where does time leak?
- T/F/NG: are your errors FALSE-vs-NOT-GIVEN confusions? That is a method gap, not a vocabulary gap.
플랜은 경로일 뿐, 약속이 아닙니다 — 어떤 일정도 Band 점수를 보장할 수 없습니다. 본인 상황에 맞게 조정하고, 아웃풋 연습을 꾸준히 하세요.
