30-day TOEFL iBT study plan

Week 1 — set the baseline

Sit one diagnostic practice block on FluentMock during Days 1-2 over two sittings. Record accuracy and task confidence. Identify your two weakest current TOEFL task families from Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking.

• 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 one Academic Discussion or Write an Email response. Compare your response with the rubric before moving on.
• Begin Speaking: alternate Listen and Repeat accuracy drills with short interview-style responses.

Week 3 — Speaking and Writing under time pressure

• Daily Speaking: Listen and Repeat plus one Take an Interview response, recorded. Self-rate on delivery, language use, and topic development.
• 3 Writing sessions this week: Build a Sentence, Write an Email, and 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: timed mixed practice block. Mimic exam focus conditions exactly.
• Days 23–26: targeted review of every wrong answer; no new mock tests.
• Day 27: second timed mixed practice block.
• 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.
• Speaking disfluency rate: filler words and long pauses per minute.
• Writing: did you answer the task directly and control sentence accuracy?
