Thnkx once again..
I have provided the details in the thread. I havent done nething extra. I just practiced, recorded and corrected the pace. For the integrated tasks, relate the information from both the sections. For the discussion based ones, state the problem, opinions presented , your opinion and the reason behind it. Speak in such a way that a person who hasnt listened to the conversation should understand what u are talking abt. You can seek the help of a family member/friend for the same. They will be able to judge it more precisely. |

Vidya,
U cud be the best person to know how long u gotta study for the exam. I took 2.5 weeks to go thr all the sections. A maximum of a month is enough for Toefl i guess. Again u need to identify ur weak areas and work on it. loan, I cannot judge which book is the best as I havent done a comparison. The only book I gt was the official guide and I referred Barron's from the library. I dont have any idea abt other toefl books. Personally I liked the official guide and the explanations provided. |

Hello All,
I am just providing a quick insight into the toefl test which I took on March 29 2008. I got my results yesterday -115  . Reading 29 Listening 27 Speaking 30  Writing 29. Just thought would share the details and it could be helpful to some ppl around. The exam started off with the reading section. I was given one passage to complete in 20 mins. and 2 more passages to be done in 40 mins. I just skimmed through the passages , but didnt miss any sentence. While I was answering, even though i was sure of the answers, i made sure to check back the passage before confirming the answer. I finished the section with some 3 minutes remaining. The listening section was quite long. The conversations were simple but this section demands our concentration and nothing else. I noted down points from the lectures. At some point I felt a bit drowsy and while answering i struggled a bit for those areas that lacked attention. The more you concentrate the better. I took the break and started afresh. After the microphone check the speaking section starts. The first question was to describe one of the achievements in life , how imp it is and how do you feel about it. The second one was an agree/disagree kinda question for the statement" It is never too old to study in a university". more questions based on paragraph and listening. In the last part, writing section , I had the integrated writing task. Listen well to the lecture and make points. We can always refer the passage. I combined ideas from both the listening and writing sections and made it clear that the lecture is refuting the passage in the first para. I had 3 points to elaborate that in 3 paras and concluded in the final paragraph. The last one was the independent writing task to comment on "Is it really required to have a strict dress code" in universities and schools. I had enough time for that too. I feel this post will help someone out here and I am happy to help anyone regarding this. For the essay portion I have a pdf document of about 450 essays with answers. I had gone through that to get a feel of the writing stuff. If anyone needs the same give ur email ids. All the best for ur exams. i admire u so much, especially writing and speaking section. What is ur country? Can u share me sur experience of writing section? How many essays do u write a day ? u got 115 Toefl score so i think i must have had a long time to practice diligently? Would u tell me about this time , how u prepared for toefl? |
