5.5 to 7.0 in 90 days: the study plan that actually works

Most people treat IELTS as "raise my general English". That is the biggest mistake. IELTS is a format exam: even when your English is good enough, if you don't know the format you lose a full band.

Month 1 — diagnose and build the base. In week one, take one full mock test (free, on flarestamina.com). The result tells you which section is weakest. Then spend three weeks on that one section only: one hour a day, only that question type. In Listening, re-listen to the exact spot you missed — not by reading the answer, but by finding why you didn't hear it.

Month 2 — volume. Now do one full section every day plus one full mock a week. For Writing: three Task 2 essays a week, but all three of the same task type (e.g. opinion). Don't move to the next type until you fully own one. For Speaking: record yourself on your phone, then listen back — painful, but the fastest fix there is.

Month 3 — exam mode. Take every mock in real time, no breaks, no phone. Target: steady 7.0–7.5 in mocks. Sit the real exam when your mocks are 0.5 above your target — exam-day nerves usually eat about 0.5.

The one rule that beats everything: at least 45 focused minutes EVERY day for 90 days. The person who studies one hour daily always beats the person who studies six hours once a week. Language is a habit, not a sprint.

5.5 dan 7.0 gacha 90 kunda: haqiqatan ishlaydigan reja

Ko'pchilik IELTS'ga "umumiy ingliz tilimni oshirish" deb qaraydi. Bu eng katta xato. IELTS — format imtihoni: tilni yetarli bilsangiz ham, formatni bilmasangiz, butun bir ball yo'qotasiz.

1-oy — diagnostika va poydevor. Birinchi haftada bitta to'liq mock test topshiring (bepul, flarestamina.com'da). Natija qaysi bo'lim eng zaifligini aytadi. Keyin 3 hafta faqat o'sha bitta bo'limga: kuniga 1 soat, faqat o'sha savol turlari. Listening'da xato qilgan aniq joyingizni qayta eshiting — javobni o'qib emas, nega eshitmaganingizni topib.

2-oy — hajm. Endi kuniga bitta to'liq section + haftada 1 marta to'liq mock. Writing uchun: haftada 3 ta Task 2 essay, lekin uchtasi ham bir xil turda (masalan, opinion). Bir turni to'liq egallamay ikkinchisiga o'tmang. Speaking uchun: telefonga o'zingizni yozib oling, keyin eshiting — og'riqli, lekin eng tez ishlaydigan usul shu.

3-oy — imtihon rejimi. Har mock'ni real vaqtda, tanaffussiz, telefonsiz toping. Maqsad: mock'larda barqaror 7.0–7.5. Real imtihonga mock natijangiz target'dan 0.5 baland bo'lganda boring — imtihon kuni hayajon odatda 0.5 ball yeydi.

Hammasidan ustun bitta qoida: 90 kun davomida HAR KUNI kamida 45 daqiqa diqqat bilan. Kuniga 1 soat o'qiydigan odam, haftada bir marta 6 soat o'qiydigan odamdan doim yutadi. Til — bu odat, sprint emas.
