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.

The two month IELTS preparation will be enough or not will depends upon a few things. Some of the common things which one have to check is their current English level, the IELTS band score they want to get, and how much time they can spend studying every day. Two months of IELTS preparation can be enough if you study focused and hard. 

In this time, one can also understand the IELTS exam pattern, practice sample questions, learn test-taking strategies. Candidates need to focus all the four sections: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.

An IELTS examination is divided into four parts, which are reading, writing, speaking, and listening. All four parts of the exam might be difficult for a non-English speaking audience. But it is believed that the writing part is the hardest since the examiners will check for grammar, syntax, coherence, and vocabulary. Also, the examinee will get only 60 minutes to complete the writing test, which includes a data interpretation and writing an essay. This can be tough, causing pressure and nervousness. But the key is to be confident while giving this exam, and having enough preparation

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.

Getting a 7 in IELTS is possible, but it is not very easy. Candidates need a good understanding of English — especially in speaking, writing, reading, and listening. If a candidate practice regularly, learn the test format, and improve the grammar and vocabulary, he/she can definitely achieve a 7 or even higher. It takes hard work and smart preparation, but many students reach this score with proper effort.

The ideal month to take the IELTS exam will vary depending on several criteria, such as your degree of preparation, university or visa application deadlines, and your availability. The test should generally be scheduled two to three months ahead of any deadlines to allow for retaking if needed.

Since January, April, and September coincide nicely with university application cycles, many students choose to take the IELTS exam around these times.
