RE: How can I manage time better during the TOEFL and IELTS exams?

Joseph3234 · Newbie

When I was preparing for the TOEFL and IELTS exams, time management felt like navigating a maze under pressure. Balancing reading, listening, writing, and speaking sections meant I had to strategize not only what I studied, but also how I fueled myself throughout those long practice sessions.

One evening, while working through mock tests back to back, I found myself dragging my concentration lagged and fatigue crept in. That’s when I took a break and whipped up a quick shake menu
: a high-protein smoothie with almond milk, a scoop of protein powder, a handful of greens, and a dash of MCT oil. It was simple, yet it replenished my energy instantly without weighing me down.

That small ritual pausing for a quick nutritious sip did more than just energize me; it reset my rhythm. I returned to practice with renewed focus and better pacing. Over time, I noticed that managing time effectively during the exams wasn't just about pacing strategies or mock test timings it was also about pacing myself physically and mentally. That little shake menu became my secret tool to sustain energy, maintain clarity, and approach each test section with confidence.shakeshackusa.com/

Time management is critical for both exams, and practicing with realistic tests is key. A TOEFL mock test helps you pace yourself across its Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing sections, while a PTE reading mock test sharpens your speed in handling complex texts, benefiting both TOEFL and IELTS. As a tutor, I provide timed practice sessions to hone this skill.
