Introduction

Congratulations!

I’m glad you want to build up both your English and IELTS skills for an optimal score on the IELTS exam.

Use these 41 pieces of advice to be better prepared for the big test day!

Every chapter provides details of each recommendation drawn from my over 12 years of helping students just like you to nab a high score on the IELTS.

You get the essentials information you need to confidently present the Academic IELTS exam.

Take advantage of my years of experience preparing candidates for success on the IELTS exam.

Get ready to receive the very tips I give my own students.

Let’s get started!

Chapter 1: Assess your level of English fluency.

How strong are your English skills?

You need a very high level of English fluency and IELTS skills to nab an optimal score on the exam!

The first step you should take to prepare for the IELTS  exam is to know your beginning level of English.

Why? Your English level now determines how long it will take you to be ready to present the exam.

If your English is not at a sufficient level to even contemplate success on the test, it is better to first strengthen your language skills first and prepare for the IELTS second.

English fluency for the exam just does not center on your gift for speaking the language without hesitation.

Fluency for the IELTS means you can also write well (under pressure) and read academic texts and understand college-level audio.

Plus, you need a strong vocabulary and good grammar to achieve the highest score possible.

The IELTS is an expensive test.

Save your cash and get your English Skills and Fluency rating.

Only sign up for the IELTS test when you are ready. Don’t put unnecessary pressure on yourself.

Chapter 2: Prepare 3 months ahead of the test date

The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.

― H. Jackson Brown Jr.

You’ve decided to take the IELTS Academic exam. Great!

Register today and establish the goal of IELTS and English proficiency before that test date.

Then, take the next three months to prepare for success on exam day.

From my own experience – over a decade – of preparing students for the exam, three months (classes of 3 hours a week – at least) is sufficient to take both your English and IELTS skills up a notch.

Take your time to build up both your English and IELTS test-taking skills.

In three months, focusing on the test allows you the time to build both your English and IELTS skills.

I always tell my students: IELTS success is ½ IELTS skills and ½ English skills.

Depending on your self-assessment (or with a veteran English instructor), you need time to strengthen your test specific skills and your overall language skills before attempting the exam.

Plan your study prep time wisely to efficiently maximize your readiness on exam day.

You learn about a proposed study plan in the next chapter.

Chapter 3: Personalize your study plan.

You have one, right?

By failing to prepare you are preparing to fail. - Benjamin Franklin.

Do you have a study plan to get the highest score possible on the IELTS exam?

How much time do you have free every day?

Yes, every day.

Remember, preparing for the exam is like training for a marathon.

Take every opportunity to study for the exam. Don’t wait.

If that means getting up early on a weekend, make sure you take advantage of opportunities to squeeze in extra time!

IELTS Study Plan – Listening Section
