Turn self-study struggles into a 960 TOEIC score with a personalized study plan

Linh Tran successfully achieved a 940 TOEIC score, with 475 in Listening and 485 in Reading. She maintained steady progress by following Prep Edu’s study plan and applying targeted strategies for each skill, ensuring an effective and disciplined self-study journey.

Stay on track with a personalized study plan

Linh Tran first came across Prep Edu on social media, where she was particularly impressed by the detailed reviews from former learners. Self-study had never been her strength, as she often struggled with the pressure of learning on her own. The personalized study plan, along with test practice, made Prep Edu the ideal choice for her to overcome these challenges and confidently achieve her TOEIC language goal.

She shared: “Prep Edu provided a detailed Study Plan tailored to my starting level, which helped me organise a personalised study schedule, stay on track, and maintain consistent progress. The platform offered much greater flexibility as I could choose when to study, clearly monitor my progress, and easily balance learning with my personal routine.”

The moment she signed up, Linh Tran set her goal of achieving an 850+ TOEIC score and strengthening her English skills. With Prep Edu, that goal started to feel within reach.

Achieve a higher band with strategies for each skill

Linh Tran spent about four to five months preparing for the exam. She began by building a solid foundation before moving into 45 days of intensive practice. During a typical study session, she watched two lesson videos and completed the exercises right away to reinforce the knowledge effectively.

One key to achieving a high score is having a strong vocabulary source. Linh Tran mainly built her vocabulary through video lessons and practice tests, while applying the tips shared by Prep Edu’s teachers. She found Prep Edu’s vocabulary resources comprehensive and well structured, with each word explained clearly in context, making them easier to understand and remember.

For the Reading section, her strategy was to learn from the mistakes she made in practice tests and pay attention to common grammar structures that often appear in the exam. In Part 7, Linh Tran usually worked backward from question 200, answering the easier questions first to save time, then used the last 10 minutes at the end to review her answers.

Listening was the skill that Linh Tran struggled with the most, especially in Parts 3 and 4. Thanks to Prep Edu, she learned how to break down questions, identify key words, and familiarize grammar. Linh Tran also practiced by increasing the audio speed to 1.25x so she could get used to the real test pace.

Build confidence by practicing with Prep Edu 

Linh Tran completed over 20 practice tests before taking the real exam. She shared: “Prep Edu’s practice tests closely reflected the actual TOEIC format, with a wide variety of test sets clearly categorized by score levels such as 700+ and 800+. I also received highly detailed feedback, where every grammar and vocabulary mistake was explained thoroughly. This helped me take proper notes, track my progress, and improve step by step. Thanks to consistent practice with Prep Edu, I felt confident on test day and was able to complete the exam smoothly.”

Linh Tran also shared: “Looking back on my TOEIC journey, I feel truly proud of the effort and dedication I put in. I’m also grateful to myself for staying consistent. And of course, I want to thank Prep Edu for being a reliable companion throughout my preparation.”
