I think most people will say pbt is easier, compare to cbt and especially compare to ibt.

Hei,

Thanks. But I am concerner about the listening they give in one room for all students together . It's kind of distracting. And also about the que in listening. We can't see the que in the paper. IF we miss to listen to the que properly, we it's not gonna appear again. I am really worried to regiser for TOEFL. I need 100 score in TOEFL. I got only 77 in iBT last time and 230 in CBT before. I am not getting admission from 2 years only because of not getting enough score.I am also concern about the time limit for reading section in the given format in PBT. It's only 55 minutes for 50 que. How can it be possible to comlete them, even compared to iBT and cbt?

I think it is at least 25 people per test, but they can have more people if they have enough proctors and room. For your other question let me think about it and I will get back to you. Or someone else may post an answer.

The PBT is much easier than the iBT. If you are lucky enough to have a choice, take PBT. Of course it is hard, but the iBT is harder, and nearly twice as long.

The only exception is if your English is really good (basically fluent), then iBT is probably better, because iBT is a better judge of your true English ability. But since you got 77 before, I think this is not the case :-)

The question for listening will be printed in your test book, while everyone is in the same room, I think it is harder for most people to get 100 in ibt. As for reading, if you don't know the answer, you can always guess.

Yes, PBT is absolutely easier than iBT. You're very lucky if you still have chance to take PBT, have to say that. After studying iBT so far, I bet that I can do PBT with a greater score, but with iBT, it must be reconsidered.

Depending on where you are, you can take the pbt in the U.S.
