Two months ago I needed to push my TOEFL by about 22 points. I built a data-driven plan I could actually stick to: a full diagnostic, then 12, 14 hours a week split across Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. Week 1 focuses on gaps, vocabulary, note-taking, and pacing. I used official TOEFL Practice Online and the Official Guide as anchors.
Weeks 2, 4: targeted drills with timed cycles. Two Reading blocks, two Listening sets, two Speaking tasks recorded (measuring against the official rubrics), and two Writing tasks (one integrated, one independent) with templates. I kept a mistakes log and rewrote model answers.
Weeks 5, 6: two full-length Practice Tests per week, refine pacing, fix recurring errors. Weeks 7, 8: polish under test-day conditions, tighten templates, and ensure quality sleep before the exam.
Practical tips that helped me: practice with a speaking partner, memorize 6, 8 high-utility transition phrases, and review 10, 15 new academic words daily. After following this, my score climbed by 22 points.

I aimed to raise my TOEFL score by 20 points in two months and built a plan around steady, targeted practice. I started with a full diagnostic to spot my weak areas, then split weeks by sections. Week 1, 2: Reading, timed drills, skimming, vocab-in-context. Week 3, 4: Listening, note-taking, summarizing paraphrase. Week 5, 6: Speaking, recorded responses, using simple templates. Week 7, 8: Writing, outline-first approach, integrated task practice, quick grammar fixes. Weekdays about 1.5 hours, weekends 2, 3 hours. Every 7, 10 days I did a full official practice test, reviewed every mistake, and updated a quick error log. Resources were official TOEFL materials plus a couple targeted drills. By the end I gained about 22 points and felt more confident on test day.

I raised mine with a tight, real-test routine. I started with a diagnostic to map weak spots, then did 5 days a week, 2 hours a day for 8 weeks. Each day: 60 minutes full-length practice (reading/listening), 20 minutes targeted drills, 20 minutes speaking practice (record and review). Use official TOEFL tests and review every mistake. Track progress weekly and push weak sections to +3 points each week.
