Jan 17th - 109 ibt TOEFL

**hrif** · 02-04-2009, 03:36 PM

Just received my score 109:
R : 29
L: 29
S: 26
W: 25

I am very happy with this score. I was expecting something around 95 but I got 109, which is 4 points higher than my target 105. To be honest, I was waiting for lower scores in R and L but for higher than 25 in W section.

I prepared for a month with ETS guide and Kaplan. They are quite good books with different levels (ETS is easier than Kaplan).

Good Luck to everyone.

So would you please tell us what did you do to get this high score? I really need your help because I need 26 in speaking!

For the speaking part, I used the CDs from ETS guide and Kaplan, and trained myself to respond on the allowable time to the different assignments. I used the sound recorder feature on my PC to record my speech. I did not hesitate to repeat the same exercise until I am satisfied with the answer. After several attempts, you will notice that you need only one shoot to give a good answer.
Yes, I also used youtube, you have plenty of exercises there...
