Would I need coaching for the English language test, or can I prepare myself?
It depends on your learning style and current English proficiency.
- Self-study works well if you're disciplined, have a solid grasp of English basics, and can identify your own weaknesses. It's flexible and cost-effective, but you may miss subtle mistakes, especially in writing and speaking, without expert feedback.
- Coaching offers structured lessons, personalized feedback, and regular assessments. It's especially helpful if you aim for a high score, struggle with certain sections, or need accountability.
Many students combine both: start with self-study, then use coaching for targeted improvement. Choose the approach that best fits your needs and goals.
