Hi everyone,

I got the confirmation of my TOEFL score today and I've been awarded a 6 for my essay. So my final score becomes 287/300.

IMO, the TOEFL essays need to be structurally well formed, free from grammatically incorrect sentences and, of course, as suggested by Erin, having a minimal usage of the 'BIG WORDS FROM THE GRE LISTS'

. Actually, my GRE AWA, I feel, was much more logically well built and had some 'actual' points to substantiate the topic, although I've been given a 5 for that [:o)].

Anyway, I presume a score of 287 would be a good one for most university admissions. I thank all TMians and dear ERIN for providing valuable feedback and advice regarding the Essay issues.
