Study plan

Your plan, set to your date.

A study plan does not start with “Monday”. It starts with test day and works backwards. Enter your date: you will know which phase you are in and what your week should contain.

The phases

Six phases, from day one to test day.

You do not need to go through all of them: start at the phase that matches the time you have left.

  1. 01

    Foundations

    More than 60 days

    You have time to build. Learn the format of all four tests and find the one that costs you the most points.

    • 2 listening sets
    • 2 reading sets
    • 1 corrected writing combination
    • 1 speaking combination
  2. 02

    Volume

    D-60 to D-31

    The format has to become familiar. Do more sets and review every mistake before moving to the next one.

    • 3 listening sets
    • 3 reading sets
    • 2 corrected writing combinations
    • 2 speaking combinations
  3. 03

    Simulations

    D-30 to D-15

    Switch to real conditions: the clock, the sequence of tests and detailed feedback on every response.

    • 1 full simulation of all four tests
    • 2 timed sets per comprehension test
    • 3 corrected written responses
    • Speaking tasks 2 and 3, every other day
  4. 04

    Consolidation

    D-14 to D-6

    Nothing new. Go back over your most frequent mistakes until you stop making them.

    • Redo the sets where you lost the most points
    • 1 full simulation
    • Reread your writing feedback
    • Rehearse your introduction for speaking task 1
  5. 05

    Final sprint

    D-5 to D-1

    Keep the reflexes warm and settle logistics: arrive rested, with nothing left to decide.

    • 1 short set a day, without chasing a score
    • Reread your connectors and stock arguments
    • Prepare the documents your centre asks for
    • Check the route and your arrival time
  6. 06

    Test day

    Today

    It is today. You have already done what you are about to be asked.

    • Arrive early at the centre
    • Listen to every instruction to the end
    • Keep moving: one hard question must not cost you the next
Which access period

Four starting points, the same finish line.

Each plan matches a moment in the countdown. All of them unlock the same platform.

Four rules

What makes a plan hold.

A study plan rarely fails for lack of time. It fails when every week looks the same.

Read the full method

  1. One corrected set beats three chained sets

    Review every mistake before starting the next set. Sort them by type: that sorting tells you what to work on.

  2. The test is rehearsed in full

    2 hours 47, four tests: do at least one full simulation before test day, without a long break.

  3. The weak test comes first

    Each test is converted separately into a CLB level. Start your sessions with the one holding you back.

  4. Nothing new in the last week

    The last days are for consolidation. A notion discovered the day before creates more doubt than points.
