How to prepare for IELTS in 1 month if you already sit around 5.5–6.5: daily timed practice + feedback beats buying another book.
Week structure
- Daily (60–90 min): 1 skill deep + 15 min vocab (SRS)
- 4× Writing: timed Task 2 → checker → rewrite
- 4× Speaking: speaking test flow
- 3× Reading/Listening: drills + band calc
- Sunday: mock test + adjust plan
Start with a level check so you do not waste week 1 on the wrong skill.

Can I jump 1.0 band in 30 days?
Sometimes from 6.0→7.0 with ruthless feedback loops. From 5.0→6.0 is more realistic in one month than 5.0→7.0.
Academic or GT in this plan?
Same daily rhythm. Switch Reading conversion tables and Task 1 type (chart vs letter) to match your module.
