🧭 Improve Your TOEIC Score by Mastering Time Control

“How long will it take to raise my TOEIC score?”
The answer depends on your current level, study habits, and how far you want to go.
Here’s how to set realistic expectations — and speed up the process.

General Timeline Guide

Based on research and MTC coaching experience:

  • +100 points → 100–150 hours of focused study

  • +200 points → 200–300 hours of focused study

  • +300+ points → Often 6 months to 1 year with consistent coaching

📌 Progress isn’t always linear — the first 100 points usually come faster than the next.

⚙️ Factors That Affect Your Speed

  • Current level – Beginners often see quick initial gains.

  • Study method – Active practice (tests + feedback) beats passive study (watching videos).

  • Coaching – With a coach, progress is often 1.5–2× faster than solo study.

🚀 How to Improve Faster

  • Set a clear score goal and deadline.

  • Use a balanced mix of listening, reading, and vocabulary training.

  • Take weekly mock tests to track progress.

  • Get expert feedback to fix mistakes before they become habits.

Bottom line:
Raising your TOEIC score is possible — and it doesn’t have to take forever.
The key is active, targeted practice and consistent time control.
