Total Score 20

 

Q.1-2

 

 

Speaking about familiar topics Fair(2.5 - 3.0)

 

Your responses indicate you are able to speak in English about your personal experiences and opinions in a mostly clear and coherent manner. Your speech is mostly clear with only occasional errors. Grammar and vocabulary are somewhat limited and include some errors. At times, the limitations prevent you from elaborating fully on your ideas, but they do not seriously interfere with overall communication.

 

Speaking about campus situations Fair(2.5 - 3.0)

 

Your responses demonstrate an ability to speak in English about reading material and experiences typically encountered by university students. You are able to convey relevant information about conversations, newspaper articles, and campus bulletins; however, some details are missing or inaccurate. Limitations of grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation at times cause difficulty for the listener. However, they do not seriously interfere with overall communication.

 

 

Speaking about academic course content Fair(2.5 - 3.0)

 

Your responses demonstrate that you are able to speak in English about academic reading and lecture material, with only minor communication problems. For the most part, your speech is clear and easy to understand. However, some problems with pronunciation and intonation may occasionally cause difficulty for the listener. Your use of grammar and vocabulary is adequate to talk about the topics, but some ideas are not fully developed or are inaccurate.

 

P.S. I shared ETS's comment with a friend who took TOEFL iBT and got the score score 2.5-3 and she got 50 on TSE.We received the same comment from ETS, exactly same words by words. She said, all of this is " B.S." (Slang)

Hey Knok,

 

In order to get 26, you need to get good score (3.5-4.0) on the first 2 questions, other wise 6 fair scores (2.5-3.0) max score is 24. The first 2 answer is the key.
