Dear Erin and Friends,
I have finished my TOEFL yesterday with the range score 187-250. This is my 2nd try.
Listening: 24
Structure/Written: 8-27
Reading: 24
Total: 187-250
Expected Essay Score: 4-5
The score of my previous test:
Listening: 21
Structure/Written: 5-25
Reading: 19
Total: 150-217
Essay: 3.5
Final: 190
Last time I typed my essay on computer and unfortunately I could not finish the last sentence of my essay. And I was not happy with my writing. I got 3.5.
But this time, I feel better about my essay. I think my essay is well organized with more than 240 wards. I am not confident about language decoration. So I guess that my essay score will be minimum 4, maximum 5. But I like to believe that it will be 4.5.
It is clear from my two range scores and one official final score that with 4, my final score will be 227 or 230 ( 250-187=63; 63/6=10.5; 187+10.5*4=229, the nearest CBT score is 227 or 230).
In the same way with 4.5 the final score will be 233 or 237 (187+10.5*4.5=234.25, the nearest CBT score is 233 or 237).
Erin, what do you think about this score analysis? I am writing to share my opinion with you and others. May be it will help other TOEFL takers to estimate their score.
I need 220 for my first choice of university admission. Hope I have done with my TOEFL.
Now I would like to tell you about stucture questions; for me those were really tricky. I do well in stucture, when I do not look at time and take more time than it is estimated. SO DEAR FRIEND, DO A LOT OF PRACTICES FOR GOOD STUCTURE SCORE. TIME IS A BIG MATTER FOR THIS SECTION.
Thanks Erin, for your discussion forum. HAVE A GOOD SCORE TO ALL TOEFL TAKERS.
