Some efficient numerical schemes are proposed to solve one-dimensional and two-dimensional multi-term time fractional diffusion-wave equation, by combining the compact difference approach for the spatial discretisation and an $L1$ approximation for the multi-term time Caputo fractional derivatives. The unconditional stability and global convergence of these schemes are proved rigorously, and several applications testify to their efficiency and confirm the orders of convergence.
