- If you're going to take IELTS, start here! Your success on the IELTS is based on more than just practicing English skills. In this video, I'll show you the key steps you need to take to reach your target band score. I'll talk about setting your objectives, building your studying plan, and studying for each section of the exam. Many students get a low score on the IELTS and keep making the same mistakes over and over again. Save your time and your money by avoiding their mistakes. Watch this video and get it right the first time. Take the quiz to make sure: www.engvid.com/ielts-the-5-ste...

TRANSCRIPT
Hi. Welcome to www.engvid.com. I'm Adam. Today we're going to look at an IELTS study plan, and as usual, when I look at IELTS, or TOEFL, or any of the tests, I'm going to speak a little bit faster so those of you taking the test can get a little bit more listening practice. And everybody else, this is very good practice for you as well to listen to slightly faster English. So we're going to look at IELTS. And for those of you who are just starting to prepare, starting to think about taking this test, maybe you want to go to university, maybe it's for immigration purposes, whatever, you're just starting out, you've just signed up for the test, now you need to start preparing for it. So here's a five-point study plan.
And number one is the most important part because... And I'll tell you in a minute why. Know the test. Now, what does this mean? It means that you have to know exactly what you're about to face. I've met many test takers who've taken the test maybe several times, and the first two or three times they got a really low score because they still didn't really know what was coming. Right? They didn't understand how the test is structured, what the timing is like, all of these things. So, know the test, means: Know the structure. There are four sections; listening, reading, writing, speaking. Make sure you know how each of them works, how much time is going to be used for each one. In the listening section you have four sections, in the reading section you have three passages to read, in the writing sections you have... Section you have two tasks that you have to complete. In the speaking section you're going to be speaking with a native English speaker face to face, one on one for about 12 to 15 minutes. Make sure you know exactly what they're going to be asking you, what you're going to be expected to answer back. Okay? So know the structure of the test.
Know the timing. You have 40 minutes, roughly, for the listening section, including a 10-minute time allotment for copying your answers from the question sheet to an answer sheet. This is very, very important. Know what to do that. If you're finished writing your answers on your answer sheet before the 10 minutes are up, you can't go to the reading section. You have to sit and wait, close your eyes, relax, etc.
Make sure you know the question types that you're going to face in the listening, and the reading, and the writing of course, and the speaking. Knowing the question types will make sure that you aren't surprised by anything. Okay? You do not want to have surprises on test day. Know the question types, prepare for them, begin to think about how to answer them. Okay?
Make sure you know all the directions. Every section of the test will have its own set of directions. Do not spend time reading these or listening to these during the test. You should know all of the directions long beforehand, you should memorize them. That way, you don't spend time reading them, you go straight to the task at hand. Okay? So know the test very well.
Now, the best way to actually know the test is to practice taking the test. Practice the test. Now, I don't mean do, like, 10 minutes here, 10 minutes there, 15 minutes here. I want you to sit down at least once a week from the time you registered or started thinking about it until the actual test day. There are lots of places where you can get full practice tests. The Cambridge books are excellent for that. They are past papers and they're real tests. Make sure that you do a full test at least once a week from beginning to the end. Give yourself three full hours undistracted. Now, what does this mean? When you go to the official test centre you cannot take your phone in with you. You do not have internet, you do not have music, you do not have anything. You have you in a room with a bunch of other people.
I got my results yesterday.
overall band score= 7.5
listening =8.5 reading=7.5
writing =7 speaking =7.5
follow the techniques and practice. also watch a lot of movies, British preferably.
How much did it take you to prepare for the IELTS please? I have 1 and a half month, is it sufficient?
please tell me your study plan and how to practice listing ,writing ,specking reading ,test so that i will get at least 6 band score. i hope you get answer my question as soon as possible.
victorJ2050 congratulations 👍
if u can help others as i m also struggling to score 7 and speaking as well
Thank you
I used to use the strategy he mentioned, not to take any test, but to learn English. You better believe it worked. After doing that technique for a year and a half, I was able to land a job that required good English skills. Heck, I was speaking better than my interviewer.
wow that’s great, congratulations. my purpose now is just pass the ielts exam to enter the university or at least college in the austria or finland. hope i’ll be able to deal with it.
This is such an underrated video. Thank you Adam for sharing your strategies on how to go about the whole thing.
It’s the most realistic IELTS video I’ve ever seen. Let the game begin! Very thanks.
Wonderful tips.
Based on my experience, super accurate too!
I wish I had watched this before my test.
these tips are really good for preparing students. thanks a lot.

I am utmost thankful for people like you, who help others to prepare for nerve-wracking exams like IELTS. I spontaneously decided to take it just two weeks before it and considering my current English level and exam-taking skills, I am afraid I will not do well))
Thank you, Adam.
I adore your lessons. Each day, during the work I go to your channel, pick up another video, or maybe a pair, and just having some kind of relaxation and enjoyment for 20 to 40 minutes at my diner time, absorbing more and more important details, enriching my knowledge. And I'm sure I'm gonna get the 7-7-7-7 IELTS result, at the very least, within next 3 months.
Thanks
this is very encouraging, I was really scared to even study and prepare for the exam but you make it seem simple if we knew how to prepare :))
Wow, I really have a plan since I watched this video. Your explanation is awesome, clearly and concise. Thank you a lot! This video gave me an amazing energy to study and the most useful recommendations that I have seen until now.
Thank you for simplifying it again. I went to a intensive IELTS course but have forgotten most of it. These tips really helped me to structure my studying. Will let you know once I do my exam in 3 weeks.

Thanks so much. Your tips will help me very much to succeed on the IELTS. I'll try to keep them in mind and put them in use. I'm focus on a 7.5 band score on IETLS and I'm sure I'll get it.
Thank you so much for uploading this video. I've got a great guidance from you not only because I didn't know about the test or anything about it but this helped me a lot about how to have an effective score and maybe everything you need to know about.
Thanks.
I wanted to personally thank you for this lesson sir. You gave me such good advices and comforting words. I'm almost 17 and I'll be taking my IELTS exam in a couple of months so I've practicing as much as possible hoping to get a band 7.5 - 7.0. I'll pass by this video once again to give an update. THANK YOU SO VERYYY MUCH !!!
The update??
Heyyy, bro
What band did you get?
how long did it take you and what is your score?
Your video made me confident about the test. thank you. I will post my score. I'm gonna take the test next month.
score?
Score?
Loved it.... i was so scared on Listening skill, but Mashallah i got all of it. just a beginner and it was d first video i watch and fear is all out of heart. Thanks Adam.
Thank you very much.Having listened to your course ,I found it really helped for me to prepare my IELTS.
Passing the IELTS Test is not when you study hard, if you can’t study or you don’t have time for your studies I’d advise you get yourself a help like Mr felix .
I’ve always believed that IELTS Test is not for all but you need God’s grace to pass .
IELTS Test might seem so tough to pass but practice very hard is a very vital skill to win, trust me .
Everyone has their own way, felix worked for me and practice didn’t .
@@isabelladavid6390 correct, everyone has a different fate.
Nice words.
Thanks for this, super helpful!
+Yes😊
This is so insightful! Thank you for sharing. Adam, you are great IELTS master, also a professional project manager. Wow.
You are an incredible teacher Adam and I love to see your videos on IELTS. !
20:27 I thought the IELTS would expire every 2 years. So there's a big chance will actually have to take the test again, two years later if you need the certificate.
i feel so difficult to learn french and english at the same time, feels like my brain was devided into 2 different parts and whenever i try to think or speak in english, i come up with french :(
thanks a lot ,Adam. YOU r the best engteacher I've ever met on youtube!
Thank you so much you gave me a lot of feedback that I’ve never thought before 👏🏽
Thanks a lot for the great video. Got my result today. L-8.5,R-8,S-8,W-7.5,Overall-8
Hari Govind congratulations. Did you have any practice books?
Please shere your experience
You are great Adam ☺ Yes, now i will try to eat,laugh and walk in English haha 😉
An Ne I've started already😄
Walk like Mickael Jackson LOL.
This has amazed me. Seriously you are the best thing for me right now on TH-cam. I'm so glad that I've found this channel.
Dear Adam, thank You for Your suggestions for preparing for IELTS exam. Your videos are very useful and very practical. It really helped to get the score what I was expected.
Thaanks Adam! I did it) My overall score is 7.5.
( Reading - 9.0, listening- 8.5, speaking- 7.0 and the thing I completely messed up is writing 😂 But still I'm sooo thankful!)
It's clear that you need to work on your Active skills :p. that's a great thing since speaking and writing are on the same category I believe u can boost your score easily with small effort on learning how to express and organize your thoughts. Good luck
what was your study plan?
вы русская? Не подскажите, какими материалами пользовались???
You got 5,5 from writing
I just calculated it 😅
My goal is 7, 7,5 too
I am gonna take this 1 later
Wish me luck))
You better know the difficulties that students face and explained well.
But only one sentence will encourage me to give IELTS with my fullest is " You go to IELTS test, give your test, Relax, get your desired score And you will never have to give it again in your life"...that is amazing thing about this exam.
no it expires after 2 years so you have to give your IELTS every 2 years
Dude thanks for your videos. I registered and started started studying two weeks before the test and I made a 7.5!!
Sir, I have nothing to say but thank you! Thanks a lot for helping out, summerize those stragedies and ways to prepare for the IELTS test. And once again, thank you Adam. 🙏🏽
I scored 6.5 back in 2011
Speaking 8
Writing 7
listening 6.5
Reading 5.5
This year I am planning on giving it again..... I am planning to get 7.5 or 8.............. I seriously need to put alot of emphasis on reading and listening..............
Hey, i am looking for a partner for the speaking section, can you let me know if you are interested or anyone who can see this comment.

Nice to meet you

I love this channel! I gave my speaking test the last week and it was not awesome as I wish, even though it wasn't bad. I was a bit repetitive in the 2nd part, I was not nervous but I just got freeze when I saw the paper sheet and the topic was aquatic sports. I studied a lot of vocabulary in several topics, and I feel that I was ready to speak of everything... but no sports. Even that I know it is one of the common topics, I decided not to study because I don't feel interested in, so, a mistake to be aware guys. After the exam, I was wondering for what reason I wouldn't be able to deflect the topic paraphrasing, it would be even better to end the task speaking of health and sports than say the same thing over and over again. Anyways, I have to wait for my results. The next week I'll give the 2nd part of the exam. Also I have to say that I have thereabouts 8 months improving my English skills and like 3 or 4 months preparing myself for the IELTS. Go straight forward your goal! Thank you all!
What was your results?
Wow how I wish i knew this information about ielts before this time,very simple and easy to follow,preparing for my exams just the ending of this month .Best advice on ielts so far
Wow, I'm very thank you for your hard work to make this video, such a really helpful for all english learner around the world. Now I'm taking my very first step to learning english in a proper way, I hope I can focus on my own goal and someday I wish that I also can help people to learning english like you did. You're inspiring me a lot
Damn I just have 10 days, yet, I have to trust my self
wow!!!! I happened to have my highest score at writing!!!!
Hello Dunia, I am from Algeria and I am willing to pass the IELTS test. How much did you get? And any advices please?
bouth hey there!!!!! I got 6 out of 9!!!!
you just need to practice.... I really mean lots and lots of practice!!!! by the time I was about to have my test, I wished I could find extra sources of practice like TH-cam, other than the few ones were provided to me by the ilets course I took!!!!
but now you're having everything within reach; there are sooo many ilets tests for practice on TH-cam... and if you're not having any ilets courses before the exam, head to engvid.com or even thier channel here, they got a bunch of tips and ways to master the thing!!!!!
so, 2 things to bear in mind; 1- practice, 2- be aware of the ideal way of answering each part of the test, which is perfectly covered by teachers of engvid!!!!
wish you all the best bent/weld blady♥♥♥
bouth remember practice makes perfect :)
+Dunia zad Denna Thank you so so so much for your advices. I am bent bladek. Based on your experience, how much would it take me to prepare for the test please? Are 4 to 6 weeks enough? And how did you practice speaking?
PS: I need to get at least 6.5.
Thank you again.
bouth wooow 4 to 6 weeks that would be really great!!!! it's really a plenty of time for practicing if you seriously know how to manage that correct!!!! and to make it a success at the end, god willing, just make sure to divide your time evenly between the 4 parts of the exam!!!! I mean don't over practice Sth while ignore the others...
besides, it's almost the same period I had, ever since I started practicing until the test day!!!!
and regarding the speaking part; I used to talk to myself in english all time as I hadn't any native English speaker friends!!!! and it kind of worked for me well!!! but if you have english speaking friends it would be awesome!!!!
by the way, there are many videos on TH-cam for people having the speaking test in real life, it might be useful to you, in terms of getting used to types of Qs asked in the test!!!!
really appreciate the work that you put into making these videos
Hi! I'm also preparing for IELTS and I need at least a 7.5 band... Thanks for this Adam!
i want to joine in a whatsapp group of native speakers to practice my english langauge if anyone know i wish you tell me and I'll be grateful to you.
العجييزKSA read the comments in other IELTS videos, some people have dropped their whatsapp number for group chats on improving English.
Wole Ageh I couldn't find anyone but I will search again . thank you man.
Thankyou very much for all these directions and advices that you recommended for us, I personally got a positive energy just by listening to you talking about the test! Again, thanks a lot .
I just want to thank you for being you. Starting my IELTS journey from today and quite fortune to land on this channel. 🌸
