Where can I find some universities which support students financially?

Hi...I was tired and sad. That was why I had many errors. However, I know my English isn't perfect. When I offered help, I didn't mean to teach anyone, but to send them some grammar notes or give them some information about the day of the test. I think that I was helpful for 4 students, and it made me happy. I think panic and worry will cause loss of concentration and poor performance on the day of the test. That is what I experienced when I got there so late. I wanted to develop positive attitude in students by saying that the test was easy. I think that the test was really easy, and students shouldn't be worry about it. logain2006! You could find better ways to criticize me. For example, you could say that I made mistake in my post. That was enough!
I think I should thank you for that.

Hi Moones don`t worry man you are not the only one with AWFUL experience.I had a bad day too.Well i got on time,but i don`t know what happened.I had huge lack of concentration on the reading.The first passage was bad.Probably 3 or 4 unsure answers.However on the others a managed to develop some rhytm and despite the fact am not very happy with the reading it is satisfactory compared to other sections.Despite i got on time i was behind the man sitting right next to me...I went in the Listening with huge expectations.This was my strongest section.I expected perfect or near perfect score.But while i finished my first conversation the guy next to me started speaking.God damn it.That guy was screaming in that microphone.I couldnt here anything from my listening.There were questions where i had simply to guess,because i have never heard about that information.After the listening i really got mad and sad at the same time.I completely lost concentration.Developed negative attitude and speaking section was horrible experience.I made the first question good,but i completely blocked on the second one.Said 2 sentences maybe and let an empty record about 30 seconds.This was the moment i gave up on that test.I dont remember how i made the questions but i remember that i missed important information in the listening.In the 5-th question.Probably the most important i didnt heard the first solutition the man provided and spoke only about the second.On the writing am a bit satisfied with the integrated essay but am not sure about the independent.It was kind of..didn`t had flow of ideas i thing.Pff don`t know i will see.

I expect not more then 70 or even 60.Really really horrible.I gave up too early.But that was because I went for the exam with really big expectations.I wanted in the worst case 100 that is i thought i won`t have under 25 on all sections.But...things went wrong....grr the first 2 days after the exam I was really mad.

I will wait for my scores,however and rescore.The second time is my last chance.Damn it the pressure would be even bigger.

By the way i have a question.Is it possible the guy near me to have received extra listening,because i received extra reading and the listening is a lot more faster to finish then the reading.

Hi everybody

I am new in this forum, but maybe somebody may help me to estimate my TOEFL IBT scores?

Below is the number of my correct questions (my assumption).

Reading 36
Listening 33
Speaking 3,5
Writting 4.

Thnx in advance.

Hi, Sspawn! I understand you very well as the guy next to me not only shouted in his microphone but also typed so hardly that our table was shaking greatly and it was rather difficult for me to concentrate. Moreover, I had to do extra reading.
But I'm not dissapointed. My test had been rescheduled several times because of ETS problems ( I registered for October, 25th and took the test only in January!) and I'm really glad that I finally took this ... TOEFL.

Hey sspawn, I'm was lucky and got only 3 reading passages. however, I got a little extra listening passage, which was nothing because I was the first to start talking. As I was speaking o the third question, others started speaking as well, but it did not bother me at all because I barely could hear them.

TOEFL doesn't require only fluency in english, it requires luck and confidence.
I hope you have more luck if you need to do it again. But don't forget, confidence has to be taken into account...if you're confident, it's gonna be a lot easier..never mind if you are unsure at reading section, or listening.. forget it and try to do the best on the other sections.

Good luck!
