Hi, I did it and managed much better than first time:) Listening - 24 Structure - 10-28 Reading - 24 My score ranges 193-253. But I wanted to get 250. I don't think that my essay will be more than 4,5 (like first time). So, I suspect my score will be about 243 - it is awful , only 7 points. But I sent this score to the university, I want to enter. Maybe they won't admit me to the program I want, and admit me to one where toefl score can be lower. So, now I keep my fingers cross :) Thank you, and wish me luck...buy

Thank you Erin. I hoped that it was not true. I will take Toefl tomorrow and I think that everything will be fine. Frankly speaking it will be my second attempt and I believe I'll do it better. Zahid, it's great that you studied in Moscow and learned Russian so quickly. I suppose that this language is much harder than English. Of course I agree with you that it is much easier to learn English in USA. I know it from my own experience, but I can't get more than 220 on Toefl:((. But If I can't manage it tomorrow I will try again and again - something like "never give up" :) so, wish me luck:)...Bye

Hello! I am from Russia. I am going to take Toefl in Moscow. But one thing bothers me very much. I have heard that If one takes Toefl in the USA it is much easier for him or her to get a good score in comparison with the person who takes this test in another country. May be it is only a gossip, but when I was in the USA last summer and studied at school, many people, who studied at lower level than I did, took Toefl and got the same score I get now in Moscow. Another example, I have known a man who tried to pass Toefl in Moscow several times and got only 213-220, but when he came to the USA and took Toefl there, he got 270...Funny? Is it possible? What do you think? Thanks.
