Can I Really Improve My TOEIC Score in One Month?

Many test-takers ask: “Can I really raise my TOEIC score in one month?”
The short answer: Not significantly — unless you change how you study.
Improvement comes from strategy, not just effort.

At MTC, we don’t promise magic.
But one month is enough to fix bad habits and unlock the next stage.

🧭 What You Can Change in One Month

You can’t master English in 30 days — but you can:

  • Remove your biggest TOEIC block (speed, confidence, translation).

  • Improve time management under test conditions.

  • Shift from passive study to active recall.

  • Build a simple, consistent daily routine.

📉 What Won’t Work

Last-minute “grind” strategies that usually fail:

  • Memorising vocabulary lists with no usage practice.

  • Taking endless practice tests without review.

  • Studying late into the night with no recovery.

🍌 Fuel Your Brain

Physical preparation matters in short-term study:

  • Stay hydrated — Pocari Sweat for electrolytes.

  • Eat brain-friendly foods — banana (potassium for brain chemistry), kiwi, eggs.

  • Avoid high-sugar drinks or energy drinks — they cause energy crashes.

A Smarter 4-Week Plan

  • Week 1: Diagnose your main block, set new habits.

  • Week 2: Focus on accuracy with slower drills.

  • Week 3: Add speed and time-pressure practice.

  • Week 4: Final review and strategy polish.

🎯 So, Can You Improve in a Month?

Yes — if you:

  • Fix the right problem.

  • Use the right methods.

  • Stop wasting time on old habits.

One month of smart, targeted work can create a breakthrough — not by learning “everything,” but by focusing on what changes your score fastest.
