Preparing for the IELTS Writing Task 2 can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re unsure how to organize ideas, develop strong arguments, and write clearly within just 40 minutes. Many learners struggle not because they lack English skills, but because they don’t have a structured plan that teaches them exactly what to practice and how to improve each day. That’s why this 30-Day IELTS Writing Task 2 Challenge was designed — to give you a clear, step-by-step roadmap that builds your skills gradually and helps you write confidently, naturally, and effectively.

Each week focuses on a specific stage of skill development — from building foundations and understanding essay types, to mastering high-band writing techniques, and finally polishing your work with full exam simulations.

⭐ WEEK 1 (Days 1–7): Foundations for IELTS Writing Task 2
Week 1 of the 30-Day IELTS Writing Task 2 Challenge focuses on building a strong foundation. Before you learn advanced techniques, you must understand the structure, the scoring system, the different essay types, and the core writing principles that make a high-band essay. This week is about clarity, stability, and structure — the building blocks of Band 7 and above.
📘 Day 1: Understand IELTS Writing Task 2 Format & Band Descriptors 🧩📄
✔ What you learn
- How IELTS examiners score essays
- The meaning of each scoring category
- Word count rules
- Essay expectations for Band 6, 7, and 8
- Time structure: 40 minutes
🛠 How to do it
- Read the official IELTS Writing band descriptors
- Understand the four scoring areas:
- Task Response
- Coherence & Cohesion
- Lexical Resource
- Grammatical Range & Accuracy
- Analyze 2 sample essays from Band 6 and Band 8
- Compare why one scores higher than the other
- Take notes on differences in clarity, vocabulary, and development
⚠️ Why this step fails
- ❌ Students skip band descriptors
- ❌ They only focus on vocabulary, ignoring structure
- ❌ They read “model essays” from wrong sources (non-IELTS)
- ❌ They think grammar alone determines band score
Understanding the scoring system early helps you avoid huge mistakes and write with purpose throughout the challenge.
📘 Day 2: Learn the 5 IELTS Essay Types ✍️🧠
✔ What you learn
- Opinion essay (Agree/Disagree)
- Discussion essay (Discuss both views)
- Problem–Solution essay
- Advantages–Disadvantages essay
- Two-Part / Double Question essay
Each type has its own structure — learning them now prevents confusion later.
🛠 How to do it
- Read one sample of each essay type
- Write the “basic structure” for each type
- Practice writing thesis statements for 5 different prompts
- Identify keywords that signal each essay type
⚠️ Why this step fails
- ❌ Students use the same format for all essays
- ❌ They misinterpret the question type
- ❌ They write irrelevant points
- ❌ They give opinions where none are required
Knowing essay types correctly saves you from losing marks in Task Response — one of the biggest scoring categories.
📘 Day 3: Master IELTS Essay Structure (Introduction → Body → Conclusion) 🏗️✒️
✔ What you learn
- How to write a strong introduction
- The structure of a clear body paragraph
- How to use topic sentences
- How to write a short, powerful conclusion
🛠 How to do it
- Learn the 4-sentence introduction formula:
- Background statement
- Paraphrase the question
- Thesis statement
- Outline (optional for some types)
- Learn the body paragraph structure (TEER):
- Topic Sentence
- Explanation
- Example
- Result / Extension
- Write 2 sample introductions
- Write 2 sample body paragraphs using TEER
- Write 2 conclusions in 2 different tones
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Introductions become too long
- ❌ Students explain too many ideas
- ❌ Body paragraphs lack examples
- ❌ Conclusions add new information
Mastering structure makes writing faster and more organized.
📘 Day 4: Improve Coherence & Cohesion 🌐🧩
✔ What you learn
- How to make writing flow logically
- Using linking words naturally
- Grouping similar ideas
- Creating paragraph unity
🛠 How to do it
- Practice sequencing: (Firstly → Secondly → Therefore → As a result)
- Use fewer but more effective linking words
- Rewrite 2 paragraphs to improve flow
- Highlight repeating ideas and remove them
- Learn referencing: this issue, these people, such problems
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Using too many connectors
- ❌ Forcing linking phrases unnaturally
- ❌ Writing paragraphs that jump between ideas
- ❌ Repeating words or ideas
Good coherence is one of the strongest indicators of a Band 7+ essay.
📘 Day 5: Grammar Accuracy & Writing Complex Sentences 🧠🔤
✔ What you learn
- Complex sentences that are CLEAR
- Common grammar structures in Band 7+ essays
- How to avoid subject–verb errors
- How to use passive voice and conditionals properly
🛠 How to do it
- Practice 4 essential structures:
- Relative clauses
- Complex sentences with “although/while/whereas”
- Conditional sentences
- Passive constructions
- Rewrite simple sentences into complex ones
- Analyze 2 Band 7+ essays for grammar patterns
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Students force complicated grammar and make mistakes
- ❌ They use overly long sentences
- ❌ Incorrect punctuation breaks coherence
- ❌ Grammar becomes unnatural
Accuracy is more important than complexity. A clear sentence is always better than a complicated one with errors.
📘 Day 6: Build IELTS Task 2 Vocabulary (Academic + Topic Vocabulary) 📚✨
✔ What you learn
- Academic vocabulary
- Topic-specific vocabulary
- Proper use of collocations
- Avoiding overly complex or unnatural words
🛠 How to do it
- Build vocabulary lists for key IELTS topics:
- Environment
- Technology
- Education
- Health
- Crime
- Globalization
- Practice paraphrasing 10 real IELTS questions
- Create your own “safe vocabulary bank” for each topic
- Learn high-scoring collocations like:
- significant impact
- highly effective
- rapid development
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Using synonyms that change meaning
- ❌ Forcing academic words unnaturally
- ❌ Using memorized phrases that IELTS can detect
- ❌ Overusing rare or unfamiliar vocabulary
IELTS examiners prefer clear, relevant, and precise vocabulary — not fancy or complex words.
📘 Day 7: Write Your First Timed Essay ⏱️📝
✔ What you learn
- Real-time writing experience
- How well you apply Week 1 skills
- Your natural weaknesses and strengths
🛠 How to do it
- Choose a real IELTS question
- Set a 40-minute timer
- Spend 2 minutes planning
- Write a 250–280 word essay
- Review using band descriptors
- Mark errors in grammar, structure, and vocabulary
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Not timing yourself
- ❌ Writing without planning
- ❌ Not reviewing mistakes
- ❌ Writing too many or too few words
This first essay sets your baseline for the next 3 weeks of improvement.
🎯 RESULTS After Week 1
By the end of Week 1, you should have:
✔ A solid understanding of IELTS Writing Task 2 structure
✔ Strong knowledge of all 5 essay types
✔ Clear formula for introductions, body paragraphs, and conclusions
✔ Better coherence and logic in writing
✔ A basic academic vocabulary bank
✔ More accurate grammar and sentence structure
✔ Confidence to start writing more complex essays in Week 2
⭐ WEEK 2 (Days 8–14): Mastering Every IELTS Essay Type
Week 2 focuses on learning each IELTS Writing Task 2 essay type in detail. Every essay type has a unique structure, tone, and requirement. Mastering these structures early will help you generate ideas faster and write more logically. You will also practice planning, brainstorming, and outlining — the real secrets behind Band 7 and above.
This week transforms your writing from “random” to “strategic.”
📘 Day 8: Mastering Opinion Essays (Agree/Disagree) 💬🖊️
Opinion essays are the most common in Task 2.
✔ What you learn
- How to clearly state your position
- How to support your opinion logically
- How to structure both one-sided and balanced arguments
- Common phrases for academic opinion writing
🛠 How to do it
- Practice 3 types of thesis statements:
- Fully agree
- Fully disagree
- Partially agree
- Learn the structure:
- Introduction (paraphrase + thesis)
- Body 1: First reason + explanation + example
- Body 2: Second reason + explanation + example
- Conclusion
- Write a 2-minute outline for 5 real IELTS questions
- Write 1 full essay (40 minutes)
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Students “sit on the fence” without taking a clear position
- ❌ Ideas are weak or irrelevant
- ❌ They write too many reasons instead of developing two strong ones
- ❌ They confuse opinion essays with discussion essays
Opinion essays require clarity — and clarity comes from choosing ONE clear position and defending it well.
📘 Day 9: Mastering Discussion Essays (Discuss Both Views) 🧠📘
These essays require balanced analysis before giving your opinion.
✔ What you learn
- How to present two viewpoints equally
- How to avoid bias in body paragraphs
- How to give your own opinion clearly
- How to avoid repetition
🛠 How to do it
- Use the structure:
- Introduction: Paraphrase + Indicate both views
- Body 1: Explain View A
- Body 2: Explain View B
- Conclusion: Give your opinion
- Practice 2–3 thesis statements
- Write topic sentences that refer to each viewpoint
- Write short examples to support each view
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Students focus only on one viewpoint
- ❌ They mix their opinion into both body paragraphs
- ❌ They repeat ideas
- ❌ They fail to separate “view A” and “view B” clearly
Discussion essays demand structure and balance. If the balance is missing, you lose marks for Task Response.
📘 Day 10: Mastering Problem–Solution Essays 🧩💡
This essay type requires identifying realistic problems and providing practical solutions.
✔ What you learn
- How to identify relevant problems
- How to propose feasible solutions
- How to structure cause–effect–solution paragraphs
- How to avoid vague or unrealistic ideas
🛠 How to do it
- Use the structure:
- Intro: Paraphrase + mention that problems/solutions exist
- Body 1: Problem + explanation + example
- Body 2: Solution + explanation + example
- Conclusion
- Brainstorm 3 problems and 3 solutions for each topic
- Practice linking solutions directly to problems
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Giving unrealistic solutions (“The government should ban cars…”)
- ❌ Repeating the same problem in different wording
- ❌ Giving solutions that do not match the stated problem
- ❌ Writing abstract or vague solutions
The key is specific, realistic, and topic-related ideas — not extremes.
📘 Day 11: Mastering Advantages–Disadvantages Essays ⚖️📄
This essay type evaluates both sides of a situation or trend.
✔ What you learn
- How to create balance
- How to avoid listing too many points
- How to present advantages and disadvantages clearly
🛠 How to do it
- Use the structure:
- Intro: Paraphrase + indicate both sides
- Body 1: Advantage + explanation + example
- Body 2: Disadvantage + explanation + example
- Conclusion
- Practice writing 5 advantage topic sentences
- Practice writing 5 disadvantage topic sentences
- Use simple, realistic examples
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Writing too many advantages/disadvantages
- ❌ Not developing ideas deeply
- ❌ Not linking examples with explanations
- ❌ Making the essay too one-sided
Good answers show balance and clarity, not quantity.
📘 Day 12: Mastering Mixed / Double Question Essays 🌀📝
These are often the most confusing essay types.
✔ What you learn
- How to identify two-part questions
- How to answer BOTH parts fully
- How to create a logical two-part structure
🛠 How to do it
- Identify the common structures:
- Cause + Opinion
- Problem + Solution + Opinion
- Reason + Advantage
- Use the structure:
- Intro: Paraphrase + thesis covering both questions
- Body 1: Answer question 1
- Body 2: Answer question 2
- Conclusion
- Practice writing thesis statements that cover both parts
- Practice outlining 3 mixed questions
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Students answer only ONE part
- ❌ They confuse it with discussion essays
- ❌ The thesis doesn’t cover both questions
- ❌ The structure becomes messy
Mixed essays are easy once you master identification and structure.
📘 Day 13: High-Level Planning Techniques (Idea Generation) 🧠📝
Planning is the most important part of achieving Band 7+.
✔ What you learn
- How to generate ideas fast
- How to avoid irrelevant points
- How to outline a clear essay in 2 minutes
🛠 How to do it
- Use the 2-minute planning method:
- Step 1: Identify essay type

- Step 3: Write topic sentences
- Step 4: Write 2–3 supporting points
- Practice outlining 5 different essays
- Learn basic brainstorming frameworks:
- Cause → Effect
- Problem → Solution
- Advantage → Disadvantage
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Students skip planning to save time
- ❌ They generate too many ideas without depth
- ❌ They copy templates mechanically
- ❌ They write irrelevant or off-topic ideas
Planning saves time — not wastes it.
📘 Day 14: Full Timed Essay + Weakness Review ⏱️📄
✔ What you learn
- Real exam writing speed

🛠 How to do it
- Write 1 full essay in 40 minutes

- Identify issues in:
- Grammar
- Vocabulary

- Create goals for Week 3
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Not reviewing the essay deeply
- ❌ Focusing only on word count
- ❌ Ignoring grammar accuracy
- ❌ Not analyzing if ideas were relevant
Review is the bridge between practice and improvement.
🎯 RESULTS After Week 2
By the end of Week 2, you will have:
✔ A solid understanding of all 5 IELTS essay types
✔ The ability to identify essay types instantly
✔ Strong planning and outlining skills
✔ Better idea generation and organization
✔ More confidence writing under time pressure
✔ Awareness of your weaknesses for targeted improvement
⭐ WEEK 3 (Days 15–21): Advanced Writing Skills, Accuracy & High-Band Techniques
Week 3 is where your writing ability becomes sharper, deeper, and more analytical. After mastering structures and essay types in Weeks 1 and 2, you now focus on idea depth, logic, grammar precision, lexical sophistication, tone, and style — the qualities that separate a Band 6.5 essay from a Band 7.5 or 8 essay.
This week transforms your writing from “good” to “high-level.”
📘 Day 15: Improving Idea Depth & Logical Development 🎯🧠
A Band 6 essay has simple ideas.
A Band 7+ essay contains developed, logical, cause-effect ideas.
✔ What you learn
- How to expand ideas logically
- How to avoid shallow reasoning
- How to use cause → effect → example structures
- How to think critically under time pressure
🛠 How to do it
- Take 5 IELTS questions and generate one strong main idea for each
- Expand each idea by answering:
- Why?
- How?
- So what?
- Turn each idea into a TEER paragraph:
- Topic sentence
- Explanation
- Example
- Result/impact
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Students list multiple ideas without developing them
- ❌ Not explaining cause-effect relationships
- ❌ Using generic ideas (“This is beneficial for society”)
- ❌ Including irrelevant examples
High-band answers use depth, not quantity.
📘 Day 16: Mastering Examples (Realistic & Relevant) 📌📚
Examples add credibility and improve clarity.
But IELTS does NOT want personal stories or detailed statistics.
✔ What you learn
- How to write realistic examples
- How to avoid personal anecdotes
- How to use generalized evidence
- How to keep examples short but powerful
🛠 How to do it
- Practice writing 6 types of high-level examples:
- Research-based examples
- Government policy examples
- School/university examples
- Workplace-related examples
- Historical examples
- Logical hypothetical examples
- Use the formula:
→ “For instance, many schools now…”
→ “Studies have shown that…”
→ “In many countries, governments have…”
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Writing personal stories (“When I was in school…”)
- ❌ Giving fake statistics (“85% of people agree…”)
- ❌ Writing examples that don’t support the main idea
- ❌ Making the example longer than the explanation
Good examples are short, believable, and connected directly to the argument.
📘 Day 17: Grammar Mastery for Band 7–8 🧠🔤
Grammar is not about complexity — it’s about accuracy + variety.
✔ What you learn
- How to write accurate complex sentences
- How to use advanced clauses correctly
- How to avoid common grammar errors
- How to vary sentence structures
🛠 How to do it
Practice using:
- Relative clauses:
- “People who live in cities often experience…”
- Conditionals:
- “If governments invested more in public transport…”
- Contrast clauses:
- “Although this trend is growing, many people believe…”
- Passive voice (when needed):
- “This issue is often overlooked…”
- Rewrite 5 simple sentences into complex yet accurate ones
- Review your previous essays and fix grammar mistakes
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Writing long, confusing sentences
- ❌ Incorrect punctuation (comma splices)
- ❌ Trying to “sound smart” and making errors
- ❌ Overusing passive voice or connectors
IELTS rewards clarity + accuracy + variety, not show-off grammar.
📘 Day 18: Avoiding Repetition & Improving Lexical Range 🔤✨
Lexical Resource = 25% of the score.
You must show range, accuracy, and precision.
✔ What you learn
- How to use synonyms naturally
- How to avoid repeating key words
- How to use topic vocabulary appropriately
- How to paraphrase ideas without changing meaning
🛠 How to do it
- List 10 overused words (people, things, big, good, bad, many, etc.)
- Replace them with academic alternatives:
- many → numerous / a significant number of
- good → beneficial / advantageous
- bad → harmful / problematic
- important → essential / crucial
- Rewrite a paragraph by replacing repeated words
- Practice paraphrasing 5 sentences from Cambridge questions
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Using incorrect synonyms
- ❌ Repeating questions’ vocabulary
- ❌ Using “unnatural-sounding” words
- ❌ Memorizing phrases that IELTS examiners already know
Your vocabulary must be accurate, topic-appropriate, and natural.
📘 Day 19: Tone, Formality & Academic Writing Style 🏛️✒️
IELTS expects a neutral, academic tone — not emotional, casual, or conversational language.
✔ What you learn
- How to avoid slang
- How to write in a formal tone
- How to use hedging language
- How to maintain objectivity
🛠 How to do it
- Replace informal words immediately:
- kids → children
- a lot → a great deal / a large amount
- big problem → significant issue
- Practice using academic hedges:
- may
- might
- could
- it seems that
- this suggests
- Rewrite an informal paragraph into a formal one
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Using emotional language
- ❌ Using contractions (don’t, won’t, can’t)
- ❌ Writing personal opinions in a casual tone
- ❌ Being too direct or absolute (“Everyone agrees that…”)
Formality is a key part of achieving Band 7+.
📘 Day 20: Full Essay Under 40 Minutes — Speed Training ⚡📝
Speed matters.
Many candidates write amazing essays — but not in 40 minutes.
✔ What you learn
- Real exam timing
- Fast planning
- Fast drafting
- Fast reviewing
🛠 How to do it
- Set a 40-minute timer
- Spend:
- 2 minutes planning
- 30 minutes writing
- 8 minutes editing
- Use your strongest structure
- Don’t overthink ideas — just develop them logically
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Spending too long planning
- ❌ Writing an overly long introduction
- ❌ Getting stuck while thinking of examples
- ❌ Not leaving time for editing errors
Speed training builds confidence for the real test.
📘 Day 21: Full Mock Test + Deep Review 🧪🔍
This is your mid-program checkpoint.

✔ Grammar accuracy - Identify recurring errors
- Write a summary of what to improve in Week 4
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Not reviewing deeply
- ❌ Judging essay only by length

Deep analysis is what turns your weaknesses into strengths.
🎯 RESULTS After Week 3
By the end of Week 3, you will have:
✔ More developed, logical ideas
✔ Better grammar accuracy and variety
✔ Stronger referencing and coherence
✔ More natural, academic vocabulary
✔ A consistent formal tone

This week prepares you for Week 4 — the polishing and exam simulation phase, where you turn all skills into high-band performance.

Week 4 is where your writing becomes exam-ready. You will fine-tune introductions, conclusions, vocabulary, coherence, and speed. You’ll also practice full simulations to build confidence and eliminate remaining weaknesses. This week’s purpose is not learning new skills, but perfecting everything you already learned.
The goal: write Band 7–8+ essays consistently, under real exam conditions.
📘 Day 22: Perfecting Your Introductions ✍️✨
Your introduction sets the tone. A weak intro leads to poor coherence; a strong intro boosts your score immediately.
✔ What you learn
- How to paraphrase naturally
- How to write clear thesis statements
- How to introduce both parts of a question
- How to avoid memorized templates
🛠 How to do it
- Write 10 introductions for 10 different essay types
- Follow the 3-sentence formula:
- General background
- Paraphrase the question
- Thesis (your position or summary of what you’ll address)
- Compare your intros with Band 8 examples
- Fix unnatural synonyms and overly long sentences
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Writing introductions that are too long (70+ words)
- ❌ Paraphrasing badly or unnaturally
- ❌ Not stating a clear position
- ❌ Using memorized phrases IELTS examiners already know
A Band 7+ introduction is short, clear, direct, and relevant.
📘 Day 23: Perfecting Conclusions 🎯📘
Your conclusion must summarize the essay smoothly without repeating the introduction.
✔ What you learn
- How to restate your position cleanly
- How to summarize main ideas concisely
- How to avoid adding new information
- How to end essays powerfully
🛠 How to do it
- Write 10 conclusions (1 for each intro you wrote yesterday)
- Use this structure:
- Restate your thesis using new words
- Summarize your main points in 1–2 lines
- Write short (30–40 words), direct conclusions
- Practice using “summary vocabulary” like:
- In summary… Ultimately… Overall…
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Adding new ideas
- ❌ Repeating the introduction exactly
- ❌ Writing it too long
- ❌ Giving opinions that contradict your body paragraphs
Short, sharp conclusions help you score high in Coherence & Cohesion.

This is one of the most important polishing stages.
✔ What you learn
- How to remove unnecessary words
- How to refine vocabulary
- How to improve transitions
- How to fix awkward sentences
🛠 How to do it
- Take 2 old essays from previous weeks
- Rewrite them with improved clarity
- Replace vague words with precise ones
- Remove filler phrases like “It is true that…”
- Make paragraphs flow by adding logical connectors
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Students rewrite essays with more complexity, not clarity
- ❌ They add unnecessary vocabulary
- ❌ They ignore punctuation problems
- ❌ They skip editing entirely
This stage makes your writing clean, professional, and examiner-friendly.
📘 Day 25: High-Level Vocabulary Review (Topic-Specific) 🔤📚
Vocabulary matters — but only correct, precise, natural vocabulary.
✔ What you learn
- Topic vocabulary for common IELTS themes
- How to use advanced collocations correctly
- How to avoid overusing the same words
- How to write naturally, not artificially
🛠 How to do it
Study vocabulary for these 10 major topics:
- Education
- Environment
- Technology
- Government
- Society
- Crime
- Health
- Culture
- Globalization
- Economy
Then:
- Write 5 sentences per topic using high-level collocations
- Paraphrase 10 IELTS questions using correct synonyms
- Create your own “safe vocabulary list” — words you use confidently
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Using incorrect synonyms
- ❌ Overusing advanced vocabulary
- ❌ Misusing academic phrases
- ❌ Learning too many words instead of focusing on accuracy
IELTS rewards precision, not big words.
📘 Day 26: Rewrite Old Essays & Fix Weaknesses 🔄📝
This is one of the most transformative days of the entire program.
✔ What you learn
- How to self-correct
- How to transform weak essays into Band 7+ versions

- Coherence
- Paragraph development
- Create an improvement checklist
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Students only write new essays but never improve old ones
- ❌ They ignore criticism
- ❌ They rewrite using memorized phrases
- ❌ They don’t track recurring errors
Rewriting helps your brain internalize high-band writing habits permanently.
📘 Day 27: Full Writing Task 2 Exam Simulation ✍️⏱️
This is the closest experience to the real exam.
✔ What you learn
- How well you perform under pressure
- How efficiently you plan and write

- Check task response
- Check vocabulary
- Check coherence
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Students pause the timer
- ❌ They spend too long planning
- ❌ They overthink vocabulary
- ❌ They forget to leave time for editing
You should now be writing close to exam-level essays consistently.
📘 Day 28: Deep Error Analysis — Eliminate Remaining Weaknesses 🧠🔍
This is where your writing makes the biggest jump.
✔ What you learn
- Understanding your writing patterns
- Fixing mistakes permanently
- Improving your weakest scoring area
- Building exam-day confidence
🛠 How to do it
Review ALL your Week 4 essays and find patterns:

- Do you struggle with introductions?
- Do you repeat vocabulary?
- Do your sentences run too long?
Create a Final Strategy Sheet:
✔ Your strongest skills
✔ Your weakest skills
✔ Timing plan
✔ Checklist for exam day
⚠ Why this step fails
- ❌ Students only skim their essays
- ❌ They don’t analyze errors deeply
- ❌ They judge essays emotionally
- ❌ They don’t create a real improvement plan
Error analysis is the difference between hoping for Band 7 and achieving Band 7.
📘 Day 29: Final Mixed Practice — Integrate All Skills 🔁🔥
✔ What you learn

- Fast idea generation
🛠 How to do it

⚠ Why this step fails

This day prepares you for your final evaluation.
