Split 15 days into three blocks: vocabulary and grammar basics (days 1 to 5), reading comprehension and verbal ability (days 6 to 11), then full practice and revision (days 12 to 15). Study 90 minutes daily.
English rewards daily practice more than long cramming sessions. This plan keeps each day short, so you can follow it alongside your other CUET subjects.
Know the Paper First
The CUET English test checks reading comprehension and verbal ability, such as vocabulary, grammar and sentence arrangement. Before you start, read the latest official NTA information bulletin so your practice matches the current pattern.
15-Day Study Plan
- Days 1 to 5, Vocabulary and Grammar: Learn ten new words daily with example sentences. Revise tenses, articles, prepositions and subject-verb agreement, one topic a day.
- Days 6 to 11, Reading and Verbal Ability: Read one passage daily and answer its questions within the time limit. Add sentence arrangement, fill in the blanks and error spotting.
- Days 12 to 14, Full Practice: Attempt a timed English section each day and review every wrong answer.
- Day 15, Revision: Revise your word list, your list of grammar mistakes and your weakest question type.
Daily 90-Minute Routine
- 30 minutes: vocabulary and revision of yesterday's words.
- 30 minutes: grammar topic or reading passage.
- 30 minutes: timed practice questions and a mistake log.
Common Mistakes
- Reading the questions after spending too long on the passage.
- Learning words without sentences, so they are forgotten quickly.
- Never reviewing wrong answers.
Quick Tips
- Read the questions first, then scan the passage for answers.
- Keep a one-page mistake log and read it every night.
- Practise a little every day instead of a lot on weekends.
FAQs
Is 15 days enough to prepare English for CUET?
It is enough to cover the basics and build a practice routine if you already read English comfortably. If you are weaker, extend the plan and spend more days on grammar and vocabulary.
How many hours should I study English daily?
About 90 minutes a day works for most students. Consistency matters more than long sessions.
