Frequently asked questions

Is 7 days really enough to improve my score?

For students who already have a solid foundation, a focused 7-day sprint can raise your band score by 0.5–1.0. It is specifically designed for candidates whose exam is very close and who need structured, high-intensity preparation rather than long-term study.

What band do I need to be at to join this course?

This course works best for students already at Band 5.5 or above. If you are below that level, we recommend the 30-Day Band Booster for a more gradual, thorough preparation.

Is this course for Academic or General Training?

Both. The sprint covers content for Academic and General Training. Your trainer will tailor session content to your test type.

Can I join if my exam is in less than 7 days?

Please contact us directly via the enquiry form. We may be able to offer a condensed version depending on availability.
