8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Reading comprehension (short passages and dialogues) & Grammar, syntax, and vocabulary in context

Skim each short passage once for the main idea before reading questions, and write a one-sentence summary of every passage you finish
Identify the referent of pronouns such as it, they, and this in ten dialogue lines
Build a 60-item personal vocabulary list from passages you read, recording each word with the sentence it appeared in
Complete 30 grammar-in-context items and label each error by type (tense, preposition, agreement, word form)

A summary-and-error log covering 12 short passages and 30 grammar items, with error types tallied

Week 2

Answer inference questions by underlining the exact sentence in the passage that supports each choice
Practise dialogue-completion items by predicting the missing reply before looking at the options
Review the five most frequent error types from Week 1 and rewrite each corrected sentence from memory
Read two 250-word passages under a 6-minute timer and check accuracy afterwards

A timed reading set (4 passages, 12 questions) scored and annotated with line-level evidence for every answer

Week 3

Listen to 5-minute English audio twice: once for gist, once for detail, and note numbers, names, and times
Transcribe 20 short spoken sentences and compare them with the audio to catch missed sounds
Reorder scrambled sentence fragments into grammatical sentences and state the rule that decides the order
Convert 15 direct sentences into reported speech or passive voice while keeping the meaning

A listening transcript file of 20 sentences with self-corrections plus 15 completed sentence transformations

Week 4

Shadow a 3-minute dialogue aloud daily to stabilise rhythm and linking sounds
Answer 20 listening questions in one sitting without pausing the audio
Complete 20 sentence-completion items where the answer depends on collocation or verb pattern
Explain aloud why each distractor in a reordering item is wrong

A full mock listening section (20 questions) scored, with an error list grouped by cause (vocabulary, sound confusion, speed)

Week 5

Write 8 sentence-level corrections for tense and agreement and justify each change in one line
Draft a 100-word guided composition from a three-point prompt outline
Revise two drafts to remove repetition and add linking words (however, therefore, for example)
Check your own writing against a five-point checklist: tense consistency, subject-verb agreement, articles, spelling, paragraph order

Two polished 100-word compositions with first drafts, revisions, and a completed self-check checklist

Week 6

Write a 120-word composition under a 20-minute limit using a fixed plan-write-check routine
Transfer information from a short table or notice into complete sentences
Complete a practical writing task such as a short email or notice of 40-60 words with a clear purpose
Proofread three of your own texts and mark every error you find before comparing with a model

One timed 120-word composition plus one practical notice or email, both self-proofread and annotated

Week 7

Take one full timed mock covering listening and reading and record the score for each domain
Re-attempt every missed question and write the reason the correct answer works
Reduce average reading time per short passage while keeping accuracy above 80 percent
List ten recurring vocabulary items from mock errors and use each in an original sentence

A full mock exam score report with a per-domain breakdown and a corrected-answer log

Week 8

Review the error log and re-do 30 previously missed items across transformation and completion
Write two timed compositions using your standard outline and checklist
Complete two integrated information-transfer tasks under time pressure
Simulate the full exam once end to end and note where time ran short

A final review sheet of your top ten error patterns with one corrected example each, plus a full timed simulation score

Week 2: Score at least 70 percent on an untimed 12-question reading set and show written evidence for each answer

Week 4: Score at least 60 percent on a 20-question listening section played without pausing, with errors grouped by cause

Week 6: Produce a 120-word composition within 20 minutes that passes all five self-check points

Week 8: Achieve at least 75 percent overall on a full timed simulation and show a review sheet covering your ten most frequent error patterns
