The Best Question You Can Ask Yourself After Every TOEIC Practice Session

🗝 Before you read:
Look at the article title and image. What do you think this article will be about?

Finished a TOEIC practice test? Don’t just check your answers and move on.
There’s one question that separates top scorers from everyone else:

"What would I do differently next time?"

This single question transforms a test from something you “did” into something you learned from.
It makes the experience active — and that’s the key to Accelerated Learning.

Top students use this question to build awareness:
Did they guess too often? Did they miss a time cue? Did they forget a key grammar rule?

Once they identify the pattern, they adjust:
They might set a timer, review grammar structures, or write down their top 3 mistakes.

By making reflection a habit, every test becomes a tool.
Don’t wait for results to improve — create the improvement yourself, one question at a time..
