Study Schedules

Detailed Study Schedules Make It Easy to Study and Improve

What are the study schedules

Our study schedules are checklists to help you focus each day and stay motivated. We provide a range of durations too, from 1 week to 1 month long.

What if I can't follow the study schedule?

Don't worry! We are here to help. Not every student is the same and we know that. Send us an email and we can help you adapt and change the study schedule to better meet your time and needs.

What materials do I need to follow the study schedule?

Everything you will need is part of the Magoosh Premium plans. We often recommend additional outside materials for students who need or want more, specifically The Official Cambridge Guide to IELTS for Academic & General Training. But this book is not required.

What do the study schedules look like?

Good question! You can see the study schedules for the Academic and General Training IELTS on our blog.

Score Predictor

Watch Your Band Score Improve with Practice

What is the Score Predictor?

As you study, we provide you an accurate prediction of your band score range on your Dashboard. The more questions you answer, the more accurate it will be. You can be confident of your progress and know when you are ready to take the exam.

How does the score predictor work?

We compare your performance on IELTS questions with data from other Magoosh students. We look at their actual scores on the IELTS and their performance on the same questions you've answered. With this information, we can predict a band score range for the actual test.

Is the score predictor the same on mock tests?

No, it is not the same. The score predictor on your dashboard is based on all the questions you've answered. On a mock test, your estimated score is based on the questions in the mock test. The way we calculate the estimate is the same, but the questions we look at are different.

Why is the score predictor important?

Having an accurate estimate of your band score gives you confidence. It tells you where you are at and how much further you need to go to achieve your target score. Without the score predictor, it would be much harder to see progress. We want students to stay motivated and showing improvement is a great way to do just that.
