  1. If you take the test in a prometric test center then they won't allow you to prepare or write anything during the untimed sections (like breaks, during direction time) in your scratch paper.
  2. Wow you will be the envy of a lot of toefl test takers with a perfect score in your speaking
  3. Goto YouTube and search notefull and you will see the videos about speaking and writing
  4. Great scores! I'm sure you will get that listening part soon. I suggest you go to test center early so that you will be the first one to take the reading and listening. This will give you less destruction from others.Ets don't rescore those section because they are objective exams which means they really have a right ang wrong answers unlike the speaking and writing section which are subjective which means the raters are responsible in evaluating whether a response is good or not.Again good luck on your next exam and do go to the exam early so you can do the 2 sections right away.
  5. That's a unique situation. Maybe if you post the name of the centre you took the exam then maybe someone who also have takeN the exam there could reply.

    Hi All

    listen to all ouligrove post in youtube for listening... for example: but he has more examples
  7. If you are looking for example response then the official toefl book by ets has some samples with scores but those are in accurate I think. Just read the rubics on what is their criteria to get the score of 4.However, I would dis agree with teacher toefl Corey that there are no actual questions release in the web. If you go to YouTube The videos of ouliogroove are real test questions... he posted that it is from a book he used when he was tutoring in Korea. I just don't know if what are the scores of the sample responses. The sample responses are too perfect so maybe they are scored 4.

    Hi All

    There is no option for you to write your essay on the paper. You need to write your essay directly using the computer.
  9. as far as I know, ETS won't send negative reports to your school; however, if ETS thinks that you have violated their rules and regulations then probably they won't let you take the exam again... I think that's the worst scenario especially if the school only allow ETS and not other English exams for you to complete your requirement. My only question is... why did you write on the table? you can write on the paper that the test center has given you
  10. is that not what I have stated in my post?.... "when a test taker gets 3 passages then there would be 9 listenings(3 coversations & 6 lectures).... or if the test taker gets 5 reading passages then the test taker would get 6 listenings (2 conversations & 4 lectures)." source: Class that Chris (toefltestsuccess) "In the reading section, there may be four or five readings and from 36-70 questions. The reading section may vary in length from 60 to 100 mins. In the listening section, there may be additional conversations or lectures from 34-50 questions. The listening section may last from about 50 minutes to about 90 minutes." Source: the complete guide to the toefl test by bruce rogers; preface xiv I didn't say examinees would get both because that would be too cruel for ETS to do... Toefl Ibt is hard enough and getting both long (reading&listening) sections would be devastating.
  11. toefl corey & Tino, Sorry if I have given the wrong info. I am just giving based on my experience and also from the Class that Chris (toefltestsuccess) has given. I know that test takers don't know if they are given 3 or 5 readings but what I know is the time given to finish the test is the same on all test takers. So, if ETS don't do what Chris has stated in his slides then this will affect weather the examinees can finish or not those 2 sections. That's why I believed on what Chris had taught me because it makes sense that ETS gives equal opportunity (time wise) to all examiners. So Again sorry if I have given the wrong info.
  12. hi, if you get 3 readings you will have 9 listening... 5 readings -6 listening...hope that helps
  13. 1. your response will be too long if you do that but you can... From my experience I can't because the time won't allow me... so stick with one then give your reason/s why you prefer. 2. yes, for the 2nd question in the essay and the 1st two questions in the speaking sections (are kinda similar) and for the list of the topics: http://www.ets.org/Media/Tests/TOEFL/pdf/989563wt.pdf
  14. don't stress yourself about the images... in the listening part . listen to what the speakers are talking about. if it is important then it will be emphasize. even if a person, a place or something is important it will be shown... try to check the other books. i don't even see images in the listening section sometimes ( the images i often see is of a teacher and a student ... 2 students, or a class)... more often it is a word that they emphasize and shown... just make sure you take down important notes... so taking notes is very important but don't write everything... I think if you watch American sitcoms, shows, news and you were able to understand then you won't have any problem with the listening section.
  15. The untimed section is in the listening section when you are listening to the conversation so after the conversation when it's time for you to answer the timer will again start. So if you got 6 listening section then you have 6 untimed section for you to listen.And your right the directions are not also timed but there is no sample tasks. The sample tasks is with the toefl cbt but I don't know if there is still sample tasks for you to practice on the toefl cbt. For toefl bit there is no sample tasks the only sample task is how to change the volume.Hope this answers your answer
