Looking for a three-month TOEFL study plan? This comprehensive schedule gives you a day-by-day breakdown for twelve weeks of focused TOEFL prep, covering all four sections—Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing—with lessons, practice, and review built into each day.
Before diving in, a few important notes:
Is three months right for you? Three months is a great timeframe for TOEFL preparation if you want a more relaxed pace or if you’re starting from a beginner-to-intermediate English level. This schedule is designed for 4 days per week—with flexibility in mind—giving you plenty of rest days to absorb what you’ve learned. If you already have strong English skills and can commit to more intensive study, you may want to check out our Two-Month TOEFL Study Plan instead.
Practice English outside of test prep, too. While this three-month TOEFL study plan focuses on TOEFL-specific skills, you’ll benefit from immersing yourself in English throughout your day—reading articles, watching videos, or having conversations in English. The more exposure you get, the more natural the test will feel. See our Best Free TOEFL Resources for ideas on what kind of general English prep can be added to your schedule as well.
Take your rest days. This schedule covers four days per week, leaving three days for rest. Don’t skip your rest days! Recovery is an essential component of effective studying. Your brain needs time to consolidate what you’ve learned.
Pro tip: Schedule your rest days strategically. Many students find that taking a break after the practice test and review days helps them return refreshed for the next week.

About This Study Schedule
Here’s how this three-month TOEFL study plan is designed:
- Balanced skill coverage: This schedule assumes you need practice in each skill area—Reading, Listening, Speaking, Writing—so you’ll work on a variety of skills each week.
- Task-focused days: Each day is generally structured around a specific task type. However, starting in Week 2, you’ll also start doing “Additional Practice,” which is practice in an area that’s not the day’s focus. (For example, on a Speaking day, you may also have a Reading practice set.) Additionally, weeks without a practice test generally have a day devoted to Mixed Practice.
- Manageable daily workload: Days are designed to take between 1.25 and 1.5 hours, for 4 days a week—which is roughly around 5.5 total hours per week.
- Practice tests roughly every two weeks: You’ll take a full practice test in Weeks 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, and 12 to build up stamina and assess your improvement in specific task types.
- Grammar and vocabulary integration: This three-month schedule includes English Grammar lessons and TOEFL Flashcards to help strengthen your foundational skills alongside test-specific strategies.
- Official ETS content: Work is kept within Magoosh as much as possible since Magoosh uses Official ETS content and since Magoosh questions come with explanations.
What content does this schedule use?
- All Magoosh video lessons
- All 4 Magoosh reserved practice tests
- 100% of Magoosh student-response Custom Practice prompts (e.g., Speaking: Interview Task, Writing: Academic Discussion Task)
- Roughly 85% of Magoosh multiple-choice Custom Practice prompts
- Magoosh TOEFL Flashcards
- 1 ETS Interactive Sample question set
- 2 ETS Full-Length TOEFL Practice Tests
A note about time estimates: Lesson times are based on normal playback speed with some padding for pausing and note-taking. Your actual time may vary, especially if you watch videos at a different speed. Review time may also be shorter or longer depending on how well you perform on practice tasks. Practice time can also serve as your time limit when you’re studying using Quiz Mode, but be sure to make adjustments based on your own personal strategies (such as intentionally spending more time on Complete the Word tasks if you find that question type challenging).
TOEFL Prep Resources
You’ll need the following resources for this three-month TOEFL study plan:
- A computer with a microphone, speakers, and internet access
- Magoosh TOEFL Premium subscription
- Magoosh TOEFL Flashcards (free app)
You’ll also use these external resources during Weeks 7, 8, and 12:
- ETS TOEFL Interactive Sample — Official practice questions from ETS
- ETS Full-Length Practice Test 1 — Free full-length test on the ETS website
- ETS Full-Length Practice Test 2 — Free full-length test on the ETS website
Recommended: Keep an error log to track patterns in your mistakes. This will help you identify which areas need the most attention.
Pro tip: Your error log is one of the most powerful tools for score improvement. After each practice session, note not just what you got wrong, but why you got it wrong. You’ll start to see patterns—and those patterns tell you exactly where to focus.
Week 1
Week 1, Day 1 — Get a Feel for the Exam Part 1: Reading and Speaking — 72 minutes
In today’s lessons, you’ll start learning about the sections of the TOEFL.
For practice, you’ll try out 1 of each Reading and Speaking question type in Custom Practice. Don’t worry about getting questions right or wrong. The goal right now is for you to experience the kinds of questions that are on the test since you’ll be taking a full mock test on Day 3.
Main Lessons — 22 minutes
Main Practice — 20 minutes
Reading:
- 1 Academic Passage Task
- 1 Complete the Words Task
- 1 Read in Daily Life – Short Task
- 1 Read in Daily Life – Long Task
Speaking:
Main Review — 30 minutes
Week 1, Day 2 — Get a Feel for the Exam Part 2: Listening and Writing — 78 minutes
In today’s lessons, you’ll continue learning about the sections of the TOEFL.
For practice, you’ll try out 1 of each Listening and Writing question type in Custom Practice. Don’t worry about getting questions right or wrong. The goal right now is for you to experience the kinds of questions that are on the test since you’ll be taking a full mock test on Day 4.
Main Lessons — 30 minutes
Main Practice — 24 minutes
Listening:
Writing:
Main Review — 24 minutes
Week 1, Day 3 — Take a Practice Test — 90 minutes
Now that you’ve gotten a feel for what the test is like, you’ll be taking a full practice test today. This will give you good experience for what taking the whole test is like and, most importantly, provide you with a baseline score so that you know where you currently stand.
Main Practice — 90 minutes
Week 1, Day 4 — Review your Practice Test — 90 minutes
You’ll be spending a lot of time today reviewing your practice test. Why? Now is the time to learn what your strengths and weaknesses are. The better you understand where you struggle, the better you can focus your studies on that area. With that in mind, for any question you get wrong, be sure to read the Text Explanation and, when there is one, watch the Video Explanation as well. Additionally, it’s a good idea to keep an error log so that you can spot patterns in the kinds of errors that you make.
Main Review — 90 minutes
Week 2
Week 2, Day 1 — Planning Ahead and Other Resources — 78 minutes
The goal of today is to assess what kinds of additional study resources will be most helpful for you. Alongside TOEFL lessons and TOEFL practice questions, Magoosh also has English Grammar lessons as well as TOEFL Flashcards to help strengthen your vocabulary.
For the Grammar lessons, you’ll work through part of the Sentence Basics module. We’re starting here because the TOEFL is largely about being able to construct complete sentences. If you already understand these lessons, you can probably skip the grammar lessons in this study schedule. But if the material is new to you (or useful as a refresher), we do recommend that you complete the Grammar lessons throughout this study schedule.
For the Flashcards, you’ll first determine which level is appropriate for you. (See specific instructions in the ‘Flashcards’ section below.)

Week 2, Day 3 — Listening: Choose a Response — 80 minutes
Starting this week, the schedule now includes ‘Additional Practice and Review.’ This is content outside of the current day’s focus. (For example, this is a Speaking day, but you’ll also do Reading practice.) This is to help keep your skills in other areas and question types sharp. Plus, on test day, you’ll be answering questions from all 4 areas, so it’s good to get used to context switching now.

We’ve included extra review time because you can get your speaking instantly evaluated on Magoosh. You’ll receive a report that analyzes different aspects of your speech, such as accuracy, pace, and pronunciation. So, when you do one Listen and Repeat task, you’ll want to do it again (likely multiple times!) to specifically work on the categories that you didn’t score as high in.

To prepare for that, you’ll do the free ETS Interactive Sample today so that you can experience every question type on ETS’s official interface. (Magoosh’s interface is similar, but not identical, so it’s a good idea to preview what your test day will be like.) To start the Interactive Sample, click on the link, then scroll down to ‘Free Products’ and click ‘Try It Now!’ underneath the Interactive Sample.
Once you finish the Interactive Sample, there will be a PDF that you can download. We’ve included the ETS TOEFL Overview PDF here since it’s basically the same document. Note that either document only has answers to SOME of the questions. It also contains sample responses for Speaking and Writing, so we recommend that you look over those and compare them to your own.

Personalizing Your Schedule
This three-month TOEFL study plan is designed to work for most beginner-to-intermediate English learners who want a more relaxed pace, but you may need to adjust it based on your own needs.
If you’re getting through the days faster than the estimated times: You may want to supplement your days with outside English practice. Check out our Best Free TOEFL Resources for ideas on how to augment your practice in Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. Since this schedule uses most but not all of the Custom Practice content, you can also add more practice sets if you have extra time (and this may particularly be a good idea in Week 12).
If it’s taking you longer to get through the days than the estimated time: That’s okay! If you’re limited on time, you may want to scale back on some of the lessons (particularly the Grammar lessons) or even the amount of practice. However, if your test is further down the road, keep in mind that you can space this schedule out over more days than just 4 per week.
Adapting based on your strengths and weaknesses: Though this schedule focuses on each skill area every week, that may not be what’s best for you! You’ll learn a lot about your strengths and weaknesses during the first week. And from that, you may want to alter what you do and when. For example, if you’re really strong in Listening but weak in Writing, you may want to skip some of the Listening lessons and Listening practice so that you can do the Writing lessons sooner and work in more Writing practice.
Pro tip: After your first practice test in Week 1, take a few minutes to write down your three biggest weaknesses. Then, as you go through the schedule, look for opportunities to give those areas extra attention. Small adjustments can make a big difference.
