How does this plan work?

This plan is to be used at least a few months before the exam date.

1. It is separated in 2 weeks, which you can alternate and repeat:

   1. Week 1: direct mock practice (you practice/study with exercises from the exam);
   2. Week 2: authentic exposure (you practice/study with materials from various sources of the appropriate level - check the free resources page).

2. Each week is divided in 5 days (it is up to you to decide on what days of the week you actually want to study - Monday to Friday; Include Saturdays/Sundays too; etc).

3. You have a reading / listening / writing / grammar day every week, plus a revision day (speaking should be practiced with a teacher).

   1. For grammar topics to be studied, see the grammar checklist for B2/C1.
