TOEIC study plan

TOEIC · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Listening

Complete one full-length Listening section under exam timing and tally every error by part (Parts 1-4)
Transcribe 30 Part 1 photograph statements into your own words using present continuous and passive voice
Drill 40 Part 2 question-response items, tagging each distractor type (wh-word mismatch, yes/no trap, repeated word)
Set up a single error log with columns for part, question type, cause, and fix

An error-log file containing at least 60 logged Listening misses sorted by part and cause

Week 2

Take structured notes on 25 Part 3 conversations, recording speaker role, topic, and the line where each answer is confirmed
Paraphrase 20 Part 4 talk openings into one-sentence predictions before hearing the questions
Identify and list 15 common Listening paraphrase pairs (spoken word vs. answer-choice wording)
Re-attempt every Week 1 missed item untimed and mark which are now solved

A one-page paraphrase bank of 15 spoken-to-written pairs plus a re-test score on Week 1 misses

Week 3

Review and drill the 12 highest-frequency Part 5 grammar points (subject-verb agreement, tense, prepositions, word forms, comparatives)
Solve 100 Part 5 items in three timed 10-minute sets and record accuracy per set
Build a personal vocabulary list of 50 business words with the part of speech each usually appears as
Rewrite 10 of your own incorrect Part 5 sentences correctly and state the rule applied

A 50-word vocabulary sheet with parts of speech plus Part 5 accuracy scores across three timed sets

Week 4

Practice 20 Part 6 text-completion sets, checking that each blank fits both the sentence and the paragraph
Read 12 Part 7 single passages under a 90-second-per-passage limit and answer all items
Highlight the exact sentence evidence for every Part 7 answer you give
Compare Part 5 and Part 7 accuracy to identify which reading skill is limiting your score

A timed Part 7 set scored with cited evidence lines for every correct answer

Week 5

Run two 45-minute Listening sets back-to-back to build sustained attention and log fatigue-related errors
Complete 15 Part 7 double-passage sets and map how the two texts relate (problem/solution, ad plus notice, schedule plus email)
Cut average Part 7 time per question by 10 seconds versus Week 4 while holding accuracy
Re-drill the 30 most-missed items from Weeks 1-4 without notes

A comparison table of Week 4 versus Week 5 Part 7 timing and accuracy, plus a Listening fatigue-error count

Week 6

Skim 40 Part 7 passages in 30 seconds each and write a one-line summary of purpose and audience
Answer 100 Part 5 items in two 15-minute blocks targeting 85% or better
Classify every remaining Reading error as vocabulary, grammar, speed, or misread question
Practice 10 inference and 10 NOT-stated questions and write the reasoning for each

A Reading error classification sheet showing 80% or more of errors falling into two named causes

Week 7

Take two full-length timed mock tests (Listening plus Reading) under strict exam conditions
Score both mocks by part and plot the per-part trend against Week 1
Convert the top 20 recurring errors into five specific test-day rules
Rehearse the Reading time budget (Parts 5 and 6 in 20 minutes, Part 7 in 55 minutes)

Two scored full mock tests with a per-part comparison chart against the Week 1 diagnostic

Week 8

Re-take all items missed in Weeks 7 and score above 80% on that review set
Complete one final full-length mock and confirm the score target is met or exceeded
Drill 30 minutes of Part 2 and 30 minutes of Part 5 as a short daily warm-up for stamina
Write a final one-page test-day checklist covering timing, guessing policy, and section transitions

A final full mock score report plus a completed one-page test-day checklist

Week 2: Listening error log has 60+ tagged misses and a re-test on Week 1 misses shows improvement

Week 4: Part 5 timed accuracy reaches 80% or higher and Part 7 passages are completed within 90 seconds each

Week 6: Reading errors are concentrated in no more than two named causes and Part 5 accuracy holds at 85% or better

Week 8: Final mock score meets the target and at least 80% of previously missed items are answered correctly on review
