IELTS Retake Study Plan (Second Attempt)
준비 기간: 4 weeks · 하루 투자 시간: 2 h · 목표: close your specific gap
이 플랜이 필요한 분
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.
핵심 원칙
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.

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
- 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?
플랜은 경로일 뿐, 약속이 아닙니다 — 어떤 일정도 Band 점수를 보장할 수 없습니다. 본인 상황에 맞게 조정하고, 아웃풋 연습을 꾸준히 하세요.
