IELTS Study Plan for Working Professionals (1 Hour a Day)

준비 기간: 6–8 weeks · 하루 투자 시간: 1 h weekdays, 3 h weekend days · 목표: 6.5–7.0

이 플랜이 필요한 분

You work full-time and can honestly commit one weekday hour plus longer weekend blocks. This plan trades volume for consistency — the habit anchors matter more than any single session.

핵심 원칙

With one hour a day, output-first is non-negotiable: a 20-minute dictation beats an hour of passive video. Weekends carry the full tests; weekdays keep the ear and eye sharp.
