Lift your IELTS band in seven focused days.
A day-by-day study plan, the strategies that move scores fastest, timed drills and writing frames. It's free, runs in your browser, and needs no sign-up.
30 ÷ 4 = 7.5. Strong Listening and Reading scores carry Writing and Speaking. BandLift's plan is built around that.

Three steps, every day
- 1
Set your target
Enter your exam date and practice scores. The calculator shows how far you are from 7.5 and where to gain points.
- 2
Follow today's tasks
Each day covers one or two skills, with 4–5 hours of focused work, ending with a light review the day before your test.
- 3
Practise under time
Use the timers, drills and writing pad so exam timing feels normal. Your progress saves in your browser.
Honest about what a week can do. Seven days won't transform your English. They can stop you losing marks you already deserve: through format knowledge, question-type technique, and clear structure in Writing and Speaking. That's where BandLift focuses.
