GMAT.cz IELTS (International English Language Testing System) Group Prep Course Syllabus
The GMAT.cz IELTS Syllabus is divided into two main phases:
PHASE 1 a 14 unit preparation combining grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation skills,
according to each of the papers contained in the IELTS exams.
PHASE 2 an in-depth, 56 unit preparation for general and focused vocabulary, according to
each of the papers contained in the IELTS exams, and more precise exam preparation and
skill development.
In order to cover all of the vocabulary areas required to enter the exam with confidence, we will be
overlapping some of PHASE 2 into PHASE 1, depending on the combined needs of the group.
