Preparation
Two weeks before your IELTS exam
Short timeline, high focus — every hour counts now.
Published Aug 16, 2026 · 3 min read
Days 14–10: one full mock + gap analysis
Take one full mock at the start. If any module is 0.5+ below target, that's your only focus area for five days. Other modules get 15 min maintenance only.
Days 9–5: precision practice
Listening: spelling and plurals drills. Reading: TFNG and matching headings only. Writing: one timed Task 2 every two days. Speaking: record one Part 2 daily.
Days 4–2: light and confident
Review your error notebook. Walk through test-day logistics. Prepare passport and confirmation. No full mocks — they'll fatigue you without time to improve.
Day before: rest
No study after lunch. Prepare clothes and documents. Sleep 8 hours. A tired brain drops half a band in Listening alone.
