Start with a realistic diagnostic test
Take an official Cambridge or IDP diagnostic under timed conditions. This baseline tells you exactly which band descriptors to target.
Share the results with your trainer so we can craft micro-goals for each skill—especially writing Task 2 and speaking Fluency & Coherence.
Structure your weekly study sprint
Allocate 90 minutes per weekday: 30 minutes for vocabulary, 30 for listening + shadowing, and 30 for writing frameworks. Weekends are perfect for full mock tests.
Use Vietnamese-English dual notes to remember idioms and data phrases that impress examiners without sounding memorised.
Highlights
- Record yourself answering common speaking questions and compare against Band 8 samples.
- Analyse model essays to copy paragraph structures—not exact sentences.
- Simulate computer-delivered practice if your test centre is digital.
Mindset on exam day
Arrive early with water and light snacks. Breathe between sections and use the 1-minute speaking warm-up to share a genuine personal anecdote.
Remember: examiners reward clarity and cohesion. If you forget a word, paraphrase; if you make an error, correct yourself calmly—self-correction shows awareness.
