Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it typically take to prepare for English proficiency tests like IELTS or TOEFL?

Preparation time varies based on your starting proficiency level, target score, and learning pace. For IELTS and TOEFL, students typically need: 1) 1-2 months for those with advanced English seeking minor score improvements; 2) 3-4 months for intermediate-level English speakers aiming to reach competitive scores (e.g., IELTS 7.0+); 3) 6+ months for lower-intermediate speakers needing significant improvement. Intensive preparation (10+ hours weekly) can accelerate progress. After an initial assessment, we provide a personalized timeline recommendation based on your specific situation, with most students requiring 8-12 weeks of structured preparation for optimal results.

What's the difference between IELTS and TOEFL, and which should I take?

The choice between IELTS and TOEFL should consider several factors: 1) University preferences: Some institutions prefer one test, though most accept either; 2) Test format: IELTS includes a face-to-face speaking component and handwritten responses, while TOEFL is entirely computer-based; 3) Question types: IELTS uses varied question formats, while TOEFL emphasizes academic, integrated tasks; 4) Regional preferences: IELTS is more common for UK/Australia/Canada applications, while TOEFL is traditionally preferred for US institutions; 5) Personal strengths: IELTS often suits those comfortable with human interaction and diverse question types, while TOEFL may benefit those strong in academic English. We recommend taking practice tests for both to determine which format better showcases your abilities.

How should I prepare for the GRE or GMAT for graduate school applications?

Effective GRE/GMAT preparation typically follows this approach: 1) Start 3-6 months before your test date for comprehensive preparation; 2) Begin with a diagnostic test to identify your baseline scores and specific strengths/weaknesses; 3) Create a structured study schedule allowing 8-15 hours weekly; 4) Focus on mastering fundamental concepts before moving to advanced strategies; 5) Use official materials supplemented by quality third-party resources; 6) Take full-length practice tests every 2-3 weeks under timed conditions; 7) Thoroughly review all practice questions, understanding both correct and incorrect answers; 8) Develop specific strategies for each question type; 9) Practice mental math and improve calculation speed for quantitative sections; 10) Build vocabulary and analytical reading skills for verbal sections. Our preparation programs incorporate all these elements with expert guidance.

Do your test preparation courses offer a score improvement guarantee?

While we don't offer a specific score guarantee (as final results depend on multiple factors including student effort and starting level), our track record shows significant improvements for committed students. Our programs have helped students achieve average improvements of: 1) 1.0-1.5 bands on IELTS; 2) 15-20 points on TOEFL; 3) 10-15 points on GRE Verbal and Quantitative; 4) 60-100 points on GMAT; 5) 150-200 points on SAT. These results depend on full participation in the program, completion of assigned work, and consistent attendance. We focus on providing proven preparation methodologies, regular assessment, and personalized guidance to maximize your improvement potential.

What's the format of your test preparation courses?

We offer multiple format options to accommodate different learning preferences and schedules: 1) Small group courses (5-8 students) meeting 2-3 times weekly for 6-12 weeks; 2) Intensive boot camps with daily sessions over 2-3 weeks; 3) One-on-one private tutoring with flexible scheduling; 4) Hybrid options combining group classes with individual sessions. All formats include: comprehensive materials, regular practice tests, personalized feedback, and access to our online resources. Group courses follow a structured curriculum while providing individual attention, whereas private tutoring is fully customized to your specific needs. Course delivery options include in-person, online live, and self-paced with tutor support.

How can I maintain my progress after completing a test preparation course?

To maintain and continue improving after completing our course: 1) Continue with regular practice tests to track your progress; 2) Focus on your identified weak areas with targeted exercises; 3) Immerse yourself in English through movies, podcasts, and books (for language tests); 4) Join our free alumni study groups for peer practice; 5) Schedule periodic review sessions with your instructor; 6) Use our online practice platform, which remains accessible for 3 months after course completion; 7) Practice explaining concepts to others to reinforce your understanding (particularly for GRE/GMAT); 8) Maintain a consistent study schedule even as test day approaches.
