estaitra Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 If you are taking TOEFL-IBT you can take notes during exam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOEFL Corey Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Estaitra is right. Note-taking during the listening section was NOT allowed on the PBT (paper-based TOEFL), but is definitely allowed on the new TOEFL (the iBt), which is good since all of the conversations and lectures are several minutes in length. They will give you as much paper as you need (and pencils)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shake a Tower Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Yes, It's allowed to take notes while you listen to the conversations. But I don't know if we can read the question first, I mean, before the listening, and before taking notes.. Is that possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McQueenLorD Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 No,Question appear after listening to lecture.Try Toefl Official Guide CD disc.Everything there,is like the real test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 McQueen is right. The questions appear AFTER the lecture, and you cannot listen again. Note taking is the main skill for listening section. Tino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masoudnbox Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 As other fellows just mentioned, note taking in IBT TOEFL test is allowed. But you should be very careful about that because during the note taking you may lose your concentration on important stuff that is mentioned in the listening. I recommend you to have a very brief and short style, like abbreviation, so that you don't lose your concentration. Writing the whole words and phrases is kinda distracting.

atreides009 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Can we use the computer to take notes or just paper? And on the other sections? Thank you, Javier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
