Study for the TOEIC in one month: a week-by-week plan
A realistic 4-week plan, about 30 min a day, to arrive ready and confident on test day.
One month is enough to improve significantly on the TOEIC — provided you study regularly rather than in bursts. Here is a 4-week plan.
Week 1 — Diagnosis and foundations
Take a full placement test to pinpoint your weaknesses. Then shore up the basics: the grammar structures of Part 5 and the most frequent business vocabulary (meetings, emails, HR).
Week 2 — Listening
Focus on Parts 1 to 4. Listen to English every day (podcasts, videos) and train yourself to catch keywords. Work on American, British, Australian and Canadian accents — they all appear.
Week 3 — Reading and speed
Tackle Part 7 under timed conditions. The goal is no longer just to understand, but to understand fast. Note the questions that make you lose time.
Week 4 — Mock exams
Sit at least two full mock exams under real conditions (2 hours, no break). Analyse every mistake: was it a lack of knowledge, of time, or of attention?
The day before
Rest. No last-minute cramming: simply review your trap notes and sleep well. A rested brain reads faster.
