FAQ: How many points do you need? Lingoleap Points Consumption Guide for TOEFL Test Prep

In the process of preparing for the TOEFL test, LingoLeap users are setting different target scores. From a recent survey of our frequent users, we have the following findings:

• 27% of users target scores above 110
• 48% of users target scores above 100
• 25% of users target between 90-99

First, let's take a look at users who are targeting 110 and above. Their weekly test preparation time distribution is as follows: 17.7% of users study for more than 30 hours a week, 35.4% for more than 20 hours, and 76.5% for more than 10 hours. On the Lingoleap platform, 11.8% of their weekly speaking corrections are more than 30 times, 29% are more than 20 times, and 81% are more than 10 times. Their writing corrections are also relatively frequent. 11.8% of them will correct more than 20 articles a week, 53% will correct more than 10 articles, and 94% will correct more than 5 articles.

Then let’s take a look at users who are targetingscores between 100-109. Their weekly test preparation time is distributed as follows: 17.7% of users study for more than 30 hours a week, 35.4% of users exceed 20 hours, and 76.5% of users spend more than 10 hours. 10% of their weekly speaking corrections on the LL platform will reach more than 30 times, 26.6% will achieve more than 20 times, and 70% will achieve more than 10 times. 6.7% of them will correct more than 20 articles, 30% will correct more than 10 articles, and 70% will correct more than 5 articles.

Finally, for users who are targeting scores between 90-99, their weekly test preparation time distribution is: 14.3% of users study for more than 30 hours a week, 50% of users exceed 20 hours, and 71% of users will invest more than 10 hours. 21.4% of them will make more than 20 speaking corrections on the LL platform every week, and 71% will reach more than 10 times. 7.4% of them will correct more than 10 articles, and 71.6% will correct more than 5 article.

Therefore, through the above data, you can roughly calculate the amount of points you may need each week.

• If your target score is 110 points, then with reference to students with the same goal, you may need at least 20 hours of test preparation per week, 15 speaking corrections and 10 writing corrections. Total points needed: 15 (speaking) * 100 + 10 (writing) * 200 = 3,500 points.
• If your target score is 100 points, you will likely need at least 15 hours of test preparation per week, doing 10 speaking and 5 writing revisions. Total points needed: 10 (speaking) * 100 + 5 (writing) * 200 = 2,000 points.
• If your target score is 90 points, you will likely need at least 10 hours per week for test preparation, doing 10 speaking and 5 writing corrections. Total points needed: 10 (speaking) * 100 + 5 (writing) * 200 = 2,000 points.

We hope that through this test preparation strategy based on big data, you will have a clearer plan and expectation for TOEFL preparation, so that you can study more targetedly and achieve better results!
