Yes, late IELTS or document preparation can lead to missing your application at LMU entirely.

German public universities like LMU has strict LMU admission deadlines like Jul 15 for Winter and Jan 15 for the Summer intake.

If students miss these deadlines by even 1 min, it would mean an instant rejection.

Aim to practice 4 to 6 full-length IELTS mock tests before your exam day. Take one per week in the final 4 to 6 weeks. Always review your mistakes after each test; do not just move on to the next one.

The duration of the IELTS preparation would depend on the English knowledge of the candidates. Candidates who have a good understanding of the English language would require less duration as compared to weak candidates. During the 15 days of IELTS preparation, make sure that you solve as many sample questions and sample PDFs as possible. Since the time is short, you must understand how to attempt the test. The task is achievable, and with hard work and focus, you will be able to crack the IELTS in 15 days.

One good book can be enough if it has everything – tips, practice tests, grammar, and vocabulary. But if you want extra practice, you can also get more books like the Cambridge IELTS test books.
