TOEFL score planner
A TOEFL target score is easier to train for when it becomes four section goals. Pick a realistic distribution, then drill the section that gives the best return.

Common target splits
| Target | Reading | Listening | Speaking | Writing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 80 | 20 | 20 | 20 | 20 |
| 90 | 23 | 23 | 22 | 22 |
| 100 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 25 |

Planning rules
- Reading and Listening usually improve fastest through volume and review.
- Speaking needs repeatable templates plus timed recording practice.
- Writing improves when you fix structure and grammar patterns, not just word count.
- Keep a two-point buffer above your school or visa requirement where possible.
