How long should I prepare for IELTS before applying in UK/Germany?

It depends on your current English level and target IELTS band score, but most students benefit from 2 - 6 months of focused preparation.

With your Electrical Engineering background and a graduation score of 7.9, you likely have a good foundation. If you’re aiming to improve by 1.0 - 1.5 bands (for example, from 6.0 to 6.5 or higher), 2 - 4 months of dedicated study is typically enough.

Preparation time is subject to change based on your starting proficiency and university requirements in Germany or the UK. For a personalized study plan, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
