However, after completing Item 1 above, it\u2019s very likely you don\u2019t have the time (and energy) to take a full test. And that\u2019s okay; this is why I recommend most students simply take a shorter \u201cdiagnostic test\u201d at this point. <\/p>\n<p>A partial IELTS that covers all the sections will help you to become familiar with the exam and your strengths and weaknesses. Below are instructions on how to assemble and take a diagnostic IELTS.<\/p>\n<p>Try to recreate the exam conditions as closely as you can. You should:<br \/>\nFind a quiet place where you can concentrate.<\/p>\n<p>Reserve 1:15-2 hours of uninterrupted time (the time will vary depending on whether you complete one or two writing tasks). <\/p>\n<p>If you are taking the paper-based IELTS, write (don\u2019t type) your essay responses just like you will on the IELTS exam.<\/p>\n<p>Set strict time limits for the reading questions and the writing questions. <\/p>\n<p>The following plan relates to the first Practice Test in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Official-Cambridge-Students-Answers-DVD-ROM\/dp\/1107620694\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Official Cambridge Guide to IELTS<\/a><\/em>.

Many students are surprised to learn that, in fact, it is NOT advisable to read each IELTS Reading passage carefully before responding to questions. That approach would take too much time for most IELTS-takers. You can boost your Reading score significantly by utilizing several key Reading strategies. Your Reading video lessons target these skills directly. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Reading Lessons:<\/strong> Watch the lesson entitled <a href=\"https:\/\/ielts.magoosh.com\/lessons\/2803-the-sun-method?utm_source=ieltsblog&#038;utm_medium=blog&#038;utm_campaign=ieltslessons&#038;utm_term=inline&#038;utm_content=one-week-ielts-study-schedule\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The SUN Method<\/a> first.

Here is huge <a href=\"https:\/\/ielts.magoosh.com\/speaking-topics\/?utm_source=ieltsblog&#038;utm_medium=blog&#038;utm_campaign=ieltsspeakingtopics&#038;utm_term=inline&#038;utm_content=one-week-ielts-study-schedule\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">collection of IELTS Speaking question prompts<\/a> we put together at Magoosh. Scroll to the bottom of the page to find the Part 2 prompts. <\/p>\n<p>Here are ways to make sure that your practice is as realistic as possible:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Choose a topic card<\/li>\n<li>Give yourself one minute to prepare your response (set a timer)<\/li>\n<li>Try to speak for 1-2 minutes (set another timer)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also, make sure to record your answers so you can find mistakes and listen for consistent problems (such as long pauses or verb tense errors) that you can try to fix.<\/p>\n<p>Complete at least two full Speaking interviews. In Magoosh, click on the green \u201cPractice Speaking\u201d button on your Dashboard. Answer each question the best you can immediately after reading it. Try not to \u201cskip ahead\u201d and look at upcoming questions, since you won\u2019t know the next question on the exam! After completing the question set, watch the explanation videos.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"Day6\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color:#26B67C\">Day 6: Take a Full-Length Practice Test<\/h3>\n<p>I recommend taking one of the practice tests in the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Official-Cambridge-Students-Answers-DVD-ROM\/dp\/1107620694\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Official Cambridge Guide to IELTS<\/a><\/em>. However, you can apply the same plan to a different practice test if you didn\u2019t purchase this book. You can find some <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/ielts-practice-test\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">online IELTS practice tests here<\/a>, or you could use a free practice test from one of <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/use-four-official-ielts-websites\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the four official IELTS websites<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Block off approximately 3 hours so you can take the test without interruptions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>60 minutes for Reading<\/li>\n<li>60 minutes for Writing<\/li>\n<li>30 minutes for Listening (+10 minutes to write down answers on an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ielts.org\/about-the-test\/\/-\/media\/pdfs\/114189_ielts_listening_answer_sheet.ashx\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">answer sheet<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>15 minutes for Speaking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You should time yourself strictly for each section. Put your pencil down after 60 minutes when you take your Writing exam, for example. No cheating! You need to see how much you can do within IELTS time limits. <\/p>\n<p>If at all possible, find someone to interview you for the Speaking section using the prompts from your practice test. Ideally, you can get a native English speaker to ask the questions and provide some feedback. If that\u2019s not an option, just have someone read the questions to you. In this case, it is critical to record your answers so you can analyze what you said. <\/p>\n<p>Please note: the Speaking exam has three parts. Make sure the practice exam you choose has sample questions for all three parts of the test. Some of the downloadable practice exams only include sample questions from Part 2 of the speaking exam (the \u201cmonologue\u201d section).<\/p>\n<p>When you finish, you can use the answer key to mark your Reading and Listening answers. However, don\u2019t evaluate your Writing and Speaking responses today. You should put these away until tomorrow (Day 7) so you will be refreshed and ready to analyze them carefully.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"Day7\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color:#26B67C\">Day 7: You&#8217;re almost done!<\/h3>\n<p>Check your answers to the Writing and Speaking sections of yesterday\u2019s practice test. Try to understand your errors. How could you improve what you said and wrote? You should use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ielts.org\/-\/media\/pdfs\/speaking-band-descriptors.ashx?la=en\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">official IELTS band descriptors<\/a> for the speaking section to grade yourself. <\/p>\n<p>After you\u2019ve checked your answers, you may want to review some of the strategy video lessons such as <a href=\"https:\/\/ielts.magoosh.com\/lessons\/2803-the-sun-method?utm_source=ieltsblog&#038;utm_medium=blog&#038;utm_campaign=ieltslessons&#038;utm_term=inline&#038;utm_content=one-week-ielts-study-schedule\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The SUN Method<\/a> for Reading, or the <a href=\"https:\/\/ielts.magoosh.com\/lessons\/2798-apt-method?utm_source=ieltsblog&#038;utm_medium=blog&#038;utm_campaign=ieltslessons&#038;utm_term=inline&#038;utm_content=one-week-ielts-study-schedule\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">APT Method<\/a> for Listening. <\/p>\n<p>That said, it\u2019s best to avoid \u201ccramming\u201d the day before the test. Don\u2019t review vocabulary or do a lot of IELTS practice questions. Instead, get some rest! Being refreshed and focused tomorrow will help you most. Take a long walk or do something fun to take your mind off the exam. You\u2019re going to do great tomorrow with all the hard work you put in this week!<\/p>\n<h2>Good Luck!<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you only have one week to prepare for your IELTS exam, then this study plan is perfect for you!
