  1. hello friends! i got my official toefl score report today and imagine.... i got a 6/6 on essay! thanx to TestMagic. pami
  2. Hello Everyone, I, like millions in this world todays, have one question whose answer is priceless. The doubt has haunted us and created confusion in many of us. Here I put the question. We are on the brink of selecting our career choice. We want to know whether we should specialize in one branch/field or we should be versatile and conversant in many fields. Friends, please express your view, support your stands and clear us of this engima. "Some people advice us to specialize while others advice us to be versatile. What do you think which is better? Support your answer with reasons and examples." This could be one of the future topics in a TOEFL essay....But tell us in advance. Pami
  3. hello Dingus! Surely I will help you. About line problems, I had not prepared anything about them, as no one who gave GRE before me had got so many line problems and such high level problems. I guess my engineering mathematics knowledge helped. I am not sure wher you can find those problems, but you can refer engineerign maths parts 1 and 2 books, if you are really keen on those. I dont know for sure from where I found the solutions, they were so instantaneous, imagine solving problems at a speed of 1and 1/2 min for one problem. If you have any specific doubts in line problems, we all will try to solve that, just post here. Best luck for your exam and do continue asking me questions. pami
  4. Hello guys, I dont know why everyone is complaining about the poor quality in listening section of TOEFL. Actually I had no problems. The sound was crystal clear. Anyway, its serious if some of you are facing problems. I suggest you contact the TOEFL site administrator. May be they might help. But to tell you the truth, I had no problems whatsoever. Hope this helps. pami.

  6. I think your range is good. 12 - 29. I suggest you dont go indepth about whats the scoring system, just try hard to answer every Q correctly and practice the practice tests online/barrons, u know those answers and so you know where you can improve. I think pp is just for testing, no practice. Anyway, best luck. pami
  7. MikeBG, I used only barrons and powerprep software. But yes , I have viewed the site mentioned by mishum2000, umm but unfortunately I found that out from asad after I took the toefl test, so I coudnt use it. But I have seen it, and have tested on it. I can tell you its good. Actually more than enough. Just be positive in your approach while giving toefl, and am sure you will hit bulls eye! pami
  8. All that matters is that you are satisfied! wow, I am happy for you! Hope you get the univ of your choice. pami
  9. Come on, thats a wonderful score! You will surely crack GRE also. Keep the mind set right in GRE, just like YOU DID IN TOEFL! Congrats. pami
  10. Hi tans, Pros of your essay: Good examples - Children, Women. Good Organization. Cons: Offline in 4th Paragraph, where you say that small shildren have to work in India. It is true, but the question is do you agree? Remember you are on the side where you must agree that one should do things sometimes which they do not enjoy. This example looks sort of offbeat. You are commiting a mistake by using high flwon vocabulary, same as I did. No need to use these words like "patronize, myraid..." unless you are sure of their contextual meaning. You would get 6/6 in TWE even without using these words, so why risk? Grammar, you need to improve on that: " In our every day life some times we may have to encounter some works that will not seem to be enjoyble to us." You could have written, Our everyday life contains some kind of work that does not seem enjoyable to us. some others : "So, they are to get up being compelled by their parents" "In my childhood I was too unwilling to drink milk though it is extremely important to take milk for strengthening the bones" Finally, I suggest you to make your introduction and conclusion impressive. Include proverbs, etc. Dont make it too flashy, keep it simple, but cute and impressive. I would rate a 4/6 for this essay. Good performance on first essay. pami
  11. Wow, 267! and 5.5 in TWE! I hope I ate what you ate on the test day! keep that up buddy! pami
  12. Thank you bnm and nechitoaia. bnm, even I had problems with Listening section, but I suggest you practice more, that will surely help. I got the essay topic in which I had to choose where I like to live, small town or big city. I chose small town, citing many advantages like less pollution and health problems, pleasant atmosphere, no hassels, people caring for each other, people celebrating festivals together, less costly, and many more reasons. Frankly I dont remember much now, what I have written. But I guess 5 paragraphs are enough, with good organization, grammar and logical points/concepts. Hey its easy man, I am sure you will crack it any time. Just concentrate hard. Best Luck. pami
  13. Mike! wow man you are on your way of achieving your target score - 250! What else do you want? Its great joy to achieve what one is aiming for. Enjoy man. Even the most strict universities wont object with that score. pami
  14. hello Richie, hey man do tell me why you canceleld your test. Which art project? I went to the grammar forum of TOEFL and found it rather confusing what you were discussing. It will be better if you explain me in detail. Take care. pami
  15. hello MikeBG, Thanks for your compliments. Its really great to hear that from you. About efforts, yes, I giev my 100% everytime I go out there. Best luck to you in all your battles! I am sure you are also ambitious. pami
