i had my exam yesterday and it was my second attempt since i scored 23 in the first time.
although i get nervous and i could barely speak in the first time i was surprised that i got 23 because i almost say nothing, then i realized that the toefl commity is looking for certain criterias for the scoring system.
1- you should organize thy thoughts whatever u say put it organize and this is with the help of transition words, for example:
i prefere.....due to several reasons.
first of all,.....
in addition,...
moreovere...
or firstly, secondly,...
2-speak as a confident no matter thy accent and slowly.
3-try to introduce wide rang of vocabularies and practice rephrasing the sentece alot
4- practice the writting topics in the official guide for speaking it will not go outside them .
i wish this could help.
u will get surrised if i told u that when i set for the exam yesterday i did not do any of them although i practice alot. but i do not know my mind become blank and i forget every thing to say and this is my second time this is happened to me.
so any advice how to control myself during the exam moment cuz i will register again for toefl
good luck to all of u
