Are you staring down the TOEFL and only have a month to prepare? I was in the same boat last year, and it felt impossible! But here’s what worked for me in just 30 days.
Week 1: Familiarize yourself with the test format. Spend the first few days just understanding the sections—listening, reading, speaking, and writing. I found practice tests on the official TOEFL site super helpful.
Week 2: Focus on your weaknesses. I knew my speaking and writing were shaky, so I dedicated extra time to those. Using apps like Speechling helped boost my speaking skills. Also, I set aside time to write essays and get feedback from friends.
Week 3: Practice, practice, practice! Take full-length practice tests to build stamina. Timing yourself is key. I set a timer during my mock tests to simulate the real exam pressure.
Week 4: Review and refine. Go over your answers, learn from mistakes, and keep practicing speaking and writing daily. I also watched English-speaking movies to improve my listening.
Good luck! You got this!
