This is a planning suggestion based on your answers. It is not an ETS product and cannot guarantee a score. The time splits and mock test timing are our own recommendations. ETS publishes its own 3-month study plan.

How the plan is built

  1. Weeks until your exam. We count the days from today to your exam date and round up to whole weeks.
  2. Phases. Longer plans are split into foundations (about 20% of the time), skill building, timed practice (about 25%) and a lighter final week. Plans of one or two weeks use a shorter structure.
  3. Weekly hours. Your daily study time multiplied by your days per week. The final week is lighter, because rest matters before a long exam.
  4. Section split. Time is divided evenly across Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking. Sections you mark as hardest get a larger share, and the share is biggest during skill building.
  5. Mock test checkpoints. A full mock test is placed at the end of each phase, so you can compare every section with your target and rebalance. Mock tests count toward that week’s study hours.

The 2026 task types to rotate through

SectionTask types
ReadingComplete the Words, Read in Daily Life, Read an Academic Passage
ListeningListen and Choose a Response, Listen to a Conversation, Listen to an Announcement, Listen to an Academic Talk
WritingBuild a Sentence, Write an Email, Write for an Academic Discussion
SpeakingListen and Repeat, Take an Interview

Reading and Listening are adaptive, so steady accuracy across task types matters more than memorizing patterns. The 1–6 score bands line up with CEFR levels, as shown in our good-score guide.

Frequently asked questions

How does the TOEFL study plan generator work?

It counts the weeks until your exam date and divides them into phases: foundations, skill building, timed practice and a lighter final week. Your daily study time sets the weekly hours, and the sections you mark as hardest receive a larger share of that time. Full mock tests are placed at the end of each phase.

Is this study plan an official ETS plan?

No. It is a planning suggestion produced from your answers by mrreadyprep. ETS publishes its own study plan on its website, and no plan can guarantee a particular score.

How many hours a week should I study for the TOEFL iBT?

There is no single right number. ETS’s published 3-month plan suggests a baseline practice test first, then a weekly routine of four one-hour study sessions plus a practice test in the second month. Use the generator to see what your own available time adds up to, and adjust after each mock test.

What if my exam is less than two weeks away?

The generator switches to a short plan: one full mock test early to find your weakest task types, focused review of those, a lighter last stretch and rest before the exam. A short plan can sharpen familiarity with the format but cannot build skills that normally take months.
