Follow my little IELTS tips to improve you day and schedule!

Try writing a ‘To Do’ list before bed at night

If you are ready to start the next day, there is less chance to procrastinate.

Use your study time well

I am in control of my studies. I balance my learning equally between the four language skills, and understand whether I study better 20 minutes a day or one evening a week

Be in control of your time

Turn off social media, and aim to complete tasks before moving onto the next one

Set yourself clear, realistic goals…and work hard to achieve them

It’s important to set daily, monthly and yearly goals. Make them realistic and understand they require effort.

Make the most of your golden hour

Getting up early puts you in charge of the day, rather than the day controlling you.

Cultivate good organisation skills

A clean and tidy work area, a file with subsections and logical notes made in class all help to save you time when it comes to study. Vocabulary journals and Post-it notes are also very good.

Listen to yourself

Praise yourself for the things you do or did well. Look at negatives in a positive light. A positive mind is a wonderful thing.

Use your travel time wisely

If you have to travel, use that time wisely. Listen to an English language podcast, or read journal. If you are in an English speaking country, engage with your surroundings.
