Depending on your English proficiency, the coaching time frame will vary. If it's just a matter of brushing up and understanding the structure of the paper a 40 hour course is enough. But , if you additionally need to brush up or improve your English skills, a longer time period may be required.

Hi, I have prepared for 15 days and gave my exam! I got total band score 8. I just practiced some test papers and did a lot of speaking. Speaking is actually critical because it can either increase your overall band score or decrease it.
