bikram Posted August 3, 2003 Author Share Posted August 3, 2003 hi i used only barrons toefl book and used to get a score of 270 but on actual test mine was 280.barrons diff. level is similar to toefl but ets tests on their site ar a little easier.u shouldnt be anxious about these scores ,yours ar pretty good.mind u the greatest challege in toefl is to control ANXIETY.so relax and give ur best shot. GOOD LUCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanrogan Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 Bikram, would you compare the listening section of Barron's with that of CBT you took?Was CBT faster and harder or they are just the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikram Posted August 3, 2003 Author Share Posted August 3, 2003 diff. level of barrons and cbt is same but anxiety in the exam makes CBT a little difficult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikram Posted August 6, 2003 Author Share Posted August 6, 2003 hi ur score is quite good.if u get 6.0 in essay then 277 is quite a decent score.most of universities have 220-250(550-600 )as minimum scores.any scores above it ar always handy to apply to top universities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeraj.d Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Thanks a ton Bikram for the clearing my doubt...as i dont have much time left for the D -day. just relying on "TM the GOD" fo more more fundaes... by the way in which field you planning to apply ?? am planning to apply in Environmental Policy and management?? can you suggest me some colleges in Canada. My GRE Scores are 1480(680V 800Q).. thanks once again !!!! Neeraj. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikram Posted August 7, 2003 Author Share Posted August 7, 2003 hi well u can try by surfing various programs of canadian universities at www.aucc.ca(association of univ. and colleges of canada).GRE scores are not that imp. in canada but definitely handy.i cant suggest a specific univ as i got no idea about ur field of study as i am in medicine.
