How to Build a Daily TOEIC Study Routine on iPhone

1
Set your current score and target

Open Aim990 and input your most recent TOEIC score (or estimate). Set your target score. The app calibrates your plan to the gap.

2
Fix a daily study time and stick to it

Choose a consistent 30–45 minute slot each day (e.g. morning commute, after dinner). Consistency beats intensity for language learning.

3
Complete the day's Listening exercises first

Work through Listening each day before Reading. Audio skills benefit from being practised when you are fresh.

4
Complete the Reading section

After Listening, tackle the Reading exercises. Focus on Part 5–7 if grammar and reading comprehension are your weakest areas.

5
Review your weak-spot drill

After each session, check which question types you missed. The weak-spot drill targets exactly those types so you improve faster.

6
Take a simulation test monthly

Once a month, complete a full simulation test to measure your progress against your target score. Adjust your daily plan based on results.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to reach 700 on TOEIC with daily practice?

Improvement depends heavily on your starting level and consistency. From 500 to 700 typically takes 3–6 months of daily 30-minute practice.

Is it better to study TOEIC for 30 minutes every day or 3 hours on weekends?

Daily practice is significantly more effective. Language retention is built through repeated exposure over many days, not single long sessions.

How do I know if the weak-spot drill in Aim990 is working?

Track your monthly simulation test scores. If your weak question types are improving between tests, the drill is working.
