30-day TOEFL iBT study plan

Week 1 — set the baseline

Sit one full-length practice test on FluentMock during Days 1–2 over two sittings. Record section-by-section scores. Identify your two weakest question types (most candidates have weak Rhetorical Purpose and Sentence Simplification).

• Days 3–4: targeted Reading drills (30 min/day) on weakest question types.
• Days 5–6: timed Listening lectures (30 min/day). Practice 5-minute condensed note-taking after each.
• Day 7: rest or flashcard-only review.

Week 2 — Reading and Listening at exam pace

• Daily: 1 timed Reading passage + 1 lecture or conversation.
• Twice this week: write a full Integrated Writing response (20 min). Compare your response with the lecture–reading contradiction map.
• Begin Independent Speaking: 45-second responses on 3 prompts per day, recorded.

Week 3 — Speaking and Writing under time pressure

• Daily Speaking: 1 Independent + 1 Integrated task, recorded. Self-rate on delivery, language use, and topic development.
• 3 Writing sessions this week: 2 Integrated, 1 Academic Discussion.
• Continue Reading and Listening at 3 passages / 3 lectures per week, mixed question types.

Week 4 — full-length rehearsal and recovery

• Day 22: full-length mock test (2-hour block). Mimic exam conditions exactly.
• Days 23–26: targeted review of every wrong answer; no new mock tests.
• Day 27: second full-length mock.
• Days 28–29: flashcards, light Speaking warm-ups, and rest.
• Day 30: test day.

What to measure each week

• Reading accuracy by question type — not just total correct.
• Independent Speaking word count and disfluency rate (filler words per minute).
• Integrated Writing: did you cover all 3 lecture contradictions?
