My IELTS test is very soon. What should I focus on?
If you only have a limited time to prepare for your IELTS test, then it's very important that you spend your time doing the things that are going to help you the most to improve your IELTS score.
This means that you need to focus on your biggest weakness (Reading, Writing, Listening, or Speaking) or your biggest weaknesses (for example articles, fluency, or reading speed).
- How can I discover my weaknesses in Reading?
- How can I discover my weaknesses in Listening?
- How can I learn my key mistakes in Writing?
- How can I learn my key mistakes in Speaking?
Once you know which skill to focus on, decide how much time you can dedicate to studying each day and make a manageable study plan. Here is the IELTS Advantage VIP Study Plan. It will help you to organise your time and use it effectively as well as help you navigate the course.
When you watch the videos in the course (whichever one you are starting with), be sure to take notes on the information you will need to remember. This might slow you down as you go through the modules, but it will save you a lot of time in the long run.
After you have watched all the videos, there are assessment materials in each course so that you can practice and check your progress.
