Hello Laura pharm,
I can imagine what you are going through but my sincere advice is that you should keep giving toefl your best shot. I want to believe you have the best materials to practice with and I would also suggest that you practice the speaking section on your own by recording your responses so that you can work specifically on your weakness. For me my goal on test day was to be the first to start my test, be fast with my reading and listening so as to gain time for my speaking section because it really helps your concentration if you are the only one talking at the center. It is also very important to stop analysing how well you have done in the speaking section once you are done with it so that you can give maximum concentration to the writing section.
Well, for we foreign pharmacist we have come to realise that toef
ibt speaking section is not a measure of how well you can communicate in english but how well you perform on test day. Do not be discouraged by how many times you have taken the test but be spured on by what you want to achieve(Fpgec certification.) because really no chain would want to have anything to do with you if they think that you are not measuring up to expectation. They are not patient enough to understand what you are going through. Keep registering for the test you will definately be lucky to have a good pull of questions. Be confident when it comes to the speaking and speak out loud. Ordering for a rescore is another option you may want to explore.
Laura pharm dont,t be discouraged because it is too early in the scheme of things to pave way for such feelings. There are so many challenges every step of the way. Even when you have your Fpgec certificate and visa to work , they still try to make things difficult for you coming up with all types of tricks and conditions. We all need to be strong and continue to exhibit strong peserverance and determination which will be a pointer to the stuff we are made of. I always at any little opportunity I get prove that we foreign pharmacist are strong and don,t give up easily. we always pursure every issue to the very successful end.
I have faith in you and I believe you can do it again. Prove them wrong one more time. I hope to hear the good news soon because as soon as you are done with toefl your chain store would be willing to apply for your visa.
