🎯 It’s Not Just a Number

People often see their TOEIC score and think:
“I’m not good at English,” or
“Why is my score still low after all that study?”

But a TOEIC score isn’t a measure of intelligence.
And it’s not even a full measure of your English.

It’s a snapshot of how well you can handle a specific test, under specific time pressure, using specific skills.

Your score tells a story — if you know how to read it.

🔍 A Score is a Signal, Not a Label

A 600 and a 730 and an 800 don’t just mean “low,” “okay,” and “good.”
They mean something very different:

  • A 600 often means:
    → You understand a lot — but under pressure, you miss pieces.
    → Your foundation is there, but your habits aren’t test-ready.

  • A 730 usually means:
    → You’re solid — but you lose time or get tricked by traps.
    → Your understanding is strong, but your reactions need tuning.

  • An 800+ means:
    → You play the test like a game.
    → You’ve trained judgment, not just knowledge.

The point?
Your score reflects performance, not potential.

🧩 The Score Isn’t the Goal — It’s the Map

Don’t treat your TOEIC score as a finish line.

Think of it like a map marker:

“You are here.”

It tells you where your current habits, training, and strategies are getting you.
And that means you can plan your next move with clarity.

🚀 My TOEIC Coach: Why We Read Scores Differently

We don’t just ask “What’s your score?”
We ask:

  • How do you study?

  • What breaks down under pressure?

  • Are you memorising or performing?

Because two people with a 700 can be in totally different places.

At My TOEIC Coach, we use your score as a tool — not a verdict.

✅ Final Thought

Your TOEIC score is not your ceiling.
It’s not your identity.
It’s just feedback.

If you want to go further, don’t focus on doing more study.
Focus on studying smarter.
And start treating the test like a skill — not a school subject.
