Introduction
When I first took the TOEFL, I got a 92—far from my target score. But within 3 months, I improved to 115+. Here’s exactly how I did it!
Step 1: Focus on Listening & Speaking
- Listening: I listened to TED Talks and wrote short summaries to improve comprehension.
- Speaking: I practiced timed responses and recorded myself daily.
Step 2: Master Academic Writing
- I learned a 4-paragraph essay structure and practiced writing under 20 minutes.
- Grammarly & Hemingway helped me simplify my writing.
Step 3: Simulate the Real Exam
- I took weekly full-length TOEFL practice tests.
- By test day, I was confident and familiar with the time pressure.
🔥 Final Takeaway: Consistency beats cramming. If I can do it, so can you!
