The rate at which you can improve your TOEIC score varies depending on your current level of English proficiency. Here’s an estimate of score improvement based on different starting levels:
- If your English level is below 450 in TOEIC, you can anticipate an improvement of approximately 150-200 points per 4 weeks.
- If your English level is below 600 in TOEIC, you can expect to improve your score by 100 to 150 points per 4 weeks.
- For those with a score of 750 points and above, the rate of score improvement may be reduced.
On average, beginners or those with English proficiency below 450 can achieve a TOEIC score of 850 within approximately 12 weeks of dedicated study and practice.
The study period to improve from IELTS 5.5 to IELTS 7.0 typically takes around 24 weeks when taking the IELTS Intensive course.
Here is the breakdown:
- First 12 weeks to improve from 5.5 to 6.5
- Then even another 12 weeks to improve from 6.5 to 7.0.
However, if you opt to choose the IELTS Score Guarantee, the total study duration can be reduced to 16 – 20 weeks.
