IELTS 4-Week Study Plan (1 Month)
Süre: 4 weeks · Günlük süre: 2–3 h · Hedef: 6.5–7.5
Bu plan kimler için
You have about one month, can study 2–3 hours a day, and want a structured route instead of random practice. This is the plan most candidates should start from.
Tek ilke
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.

Sabah: Read one passage or transcript aloud for 10 minutes before anything else — mouth and ear before eyes.
Yatmadan önce: Before bed, review the words you collected today from wrong answers (5–10 minutes, no new material).
Haftalık öz değerlendirme
- 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?
Bir plan bir yol haritasıdır, garanti değil — hiçbir program kesin band puanı vaat edemez. Miktarları kendi durumuna göre ayarla ve üretim odaklı çalışmaya devam et.
