9. First of all, you need to know the format of the listening test, as there are 4 sections in the
listening test. Let’s look at what type of recording you will listen to in the
IELTS listening modules:
Section 1 – Two people’s conversation about daily social context.
Section 2 – In this section, you will hear a speech about the town’s local facilities.
Section 3 – Discussion between 3 or 4 students with a tutor about an assignment.
Section 4 – A speech on an academic subject, such as a university lecture.
» After knowing the format of IELTS listening, start listening to the IELTS listening
samples. You can get that on the official site of the IDP, and you can also search on
google or youtube.
» Start listening to English songs or Podcasts to improve your hearing ability. Also,
watch English movies.

10. » First, decide which exam you want to take, IELTS Academic or IELTS General
Training. You will have 3 passages in the IELTS reading for academic reading and a
total of 4 passages for the IELTS GT reading.
» In starting, start practicing without looking at the watch. Try to increase your speed
slowly. To increase your speed, don’t read the complete passage, implement the
skimming technique. Try to find the keyword of the question in the passage.
» Once you think your speed is good, start practicing with time, try to finish your
reading in 50 to 55 minutes. Don’t spend more than 20 minutes in any passage, and
try to save at least 25 minutes for your third passage.
This is everything in the IELTS study plan for reading, let’s move to the study plan for IELTS
writing.

11. Writing is considered one of the toughest modules in the IELTS test, and you need to practice
a lot for this module. Most students fail to get a good score in this exam module.
Don’t worry for students who fail to get a fair score in one module, For them, IDP has
announced a new update, you can read about that update here on “IELTS Exam New Update
One Skill Retake For Indian Students From March 2023.”
Here are some tips for an IELTS study plan for writing:
» First of all, get to know the type of writing questions that can come to the IELTS
exam.
» You will get only 1 hour for your writing part, so do time management careful. Don’t
spend much time on task 1 because you have to write only 150 words for IELTS
writing task 1. Try to finish your task 1 in 15 to 20 minutes so that you will have 40 to
45 minutes left for task 2 and proofreading. Always save at least 5 minutes for
proofreading your content.
» Also, improve your vocabulary knowledge by learning new words. Read newspapers
and magazines to learn new vocabulary.
» Always write down new words in the notebook with their actual meaning and
synonyms.
» Always give your writing to an expert to get to know any loophole in your writing.

12. For speaking, you need to practice as much as you can. To answer your queries related to
how to prepare for IELTS speaking, we will provide a proper study plan for you.
» To master your speaking module, you must start from the basics.
» For the first week, spend more time on introductive and follow-up questions rather
than cue cards.
» Start preparing for your cue card from the second week of your preparation. Don’t try
to cover everything in a single day. Try to cover one cue card every day for a week
and then increase your limit.
» Start speaking in English whether you are speaking it right or wrong. Becoming
friends with English speakers will increase your confidence which is very important
for speaking.
» Start recording yourself, start reading books or newspapers loudly, and start speaking
in front of the mirror. All these activities will help you remove your hesitation and
build confidence in yourself.
