scarygirl Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 It's been a while I don't return to Urch.com; this website has helped me & so many foreign pharmacists to get back our pharmacist license . It's here where we go when we were overwhelmed with despair & got our battery recharged with encouragements from our fellows in the same boat. Today , I return to this website to try to make contributions and for all those who still struggle with Toefl especially speaking section , you should go to Jason Renshaw website which is [ TOEFL Speaking Mentor ] Renshaw Internet School of English Jason has done a tremendous good job & you should listen to his advice , Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Just FYI, there have been a number of complaints on these forums of people paying for Renshaw's school and then not getting anything, or any response, and not being able to get a refund either. Has this been fixed or addressed? Tino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarygirl Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm so sorry lam26; I'm done with all study now; you should look for people currently preparing Toefl to practice with you. Everything is about practice practice until it becomes second nature & it's true that if you are failing a number of times then you will need a professional help , all the best and happy holiday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tino Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Scarygirl: the site you list is OK, but there are some errors on there about the speaking questions, not all their information is correct. I would recommend another source. Tino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESymposia Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Look, mentioning any school on Urich seems to be a very drastic way of ending your account. I have tried already and often got hit. There are many books out there. However, my main question would be as to which is better: native speakers or non-native speakers in obtaining the site. If you want some questions from a non-native speaker, than one site is: toefl-exam.net A good site with a native speaker, both with American and British accents is at globalenglishexchange.blogspot.com. I would say that even Renshaw would have trouble competing with them. Their price is also very reasonable at $10/30minutes or $16/60 minutes.

Tino Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Esymposia: I went to your site. I see copyrighted images on there that I suspect you do not have permission to use. Did you know that Urch forums uses Google Ads to make money? Do you know that even having links to sites like yours can get Urch forums blacklisted from Google Ads? It is Google's policy. This might be one reason you experienced some deleted posts or got banned in the past. Also it is against forum rules to post your Skype Id. Finally, your website lists no company address or other such information, which raises red-flags that you may not be legitimate.

ESymposia Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Tino: First, I don't see how this message is appropriate for your selected audience-- the test takers. Second, thank you for the insights into marketing, and no I am not banned by Google Ads. And actually, we do offer legitimate services. Perhaps, you are so money crazy that you are not focusing on what is truly important, which is the value of instruction and the development of the student. My posts have not been deleted. Actually, as you can see by my recent date, I have not had posts banned. Thank you again for welcoming me. As for the company address, I am sorry for forgetting to put such information. I will look to make the change as soon as possible. As for all things considered, I will not return the favor of scrutinizing your site, but instead offer you grace in finding students. You must be so charming in the class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I am not a teacher. I do the IT work for our school. I used administer the TOEFL exam though. I pass on information from our teachers here. I sometimes copy essays here and give them to our teachers to edit if they have time, they usually don't unfortunately. Regarding Google Ads: I am not referring to you being banned by Google, but rather than you could cause Urch Forums to be banned. I have set up many Google Ad accounts in my career, and a link on Urch to a site using copyrighted material (which your site is doing) is specifically against the Ad Words policy and is reason for Urch to be banned from Ad Words. YOU said what seemed to me to be that you had posts deleted, and I was trying to inform you why that might be. The copyrighted stuff I saw on your site was images of various books and logos, why not just remove them? Then you will not have such a problem. Not having a specific address for your company is a huge red flag. I would tell anyone: Never send money to a site with no official address and/or direct contact information. This is not an attack on you, it is common, well respected advice. Go ask anyone involved in internet security. Go ask PayPal. It is easy enough to correct.

ESymposia Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) Thank you Tino, I just updated my address, but the problem is that the store does not show it. Besides, I am having a problem accessing your site. Is it down? Edited March 7, 2012 by ESymposia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESymposia Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Tino, thank you for clearing that up because it seems that you don't have a firm grasp of English or how to teach it, just responding from the other post made. Furthermore, how come you are using pirated software which is obvious from your site. Moreover, are you a lawyer or a IT specialist. I see, you are IT and yet you have a website that looks like that? Are you trying the simple is method approach? You don't have much information about your site, your classes, your teachers, or anything really on your site. It's amazing to think that you would be such a master of the language.And how should we reach you? Your videos really need some cropping as well. You should only put on the material which is necessary to deliver your opinion. Not that I think your classes are too technical, just the video has a lot of dead areas in it.

Marissa Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) Thank you for the website you provided in here. This is going to help a lot of test takers like me (especially, if we don't have enough time to sit for onsite-classes). As of now, I'm studying for my upcoming exam (TOEFL-IBT) , I always ask my self, Why most test takers fail this part. And now, I understand why. For me, Its not easy nor hard. Its how quick you understand and pick up ideas/opinion. How you deliver your answer in an intelligent way. (uses of vocabulary/grammar/intonation). Its true when ETS advice their test takers to read articles/journals/newspaper/magazine and by looking up a variety of good topic to websites. Practice makes perfect.

masoudnbox Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Thank you for the very useful website. Following your suggestion I would like to inform test takers of another good source of TOEFL speaking samples and practices: TOEFL Speaking Practice and Sample Also there are more useful stuff in the other pages of this website.

phoenix83 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 i took Toefl IBT exam for 33 times trying to be licensed pharmacist, as you know for that we have to score minimum score of 26/30 and if you are not native speaker it's almost impossible to score more than 22.23 or 24..this exam is polite way from americans and national board of pharmacy to tell all foreign graduates we dont need more pharmacist in america because the market is saturated,in 1990s and till 2003 when america was in need for pharmacist there was no english exam even and after they started having more pharmacist they came up with phone interview to assess your english fluency then toefl exam and lastly toefl ibt where they increase scores of (listening,reading,writing and speaking year after year)..stop wasting your money..this is just way from americans to make money and to let you take the exam again and again..same as they fail people in FPGEE exam and NAPLEX exam for so many times to just get money..// Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharmacy4life Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 i took Toefl IBT exam for 33 times trying to be licensed pharmacist, as you know for that we have to score minimum score of 26/30 and if you are not native speaker it's almost impossible to score more than 22.23 or 24..this exam is polite way from americans and national board of pharmacy to tell all foreign graduates we dont need more pharmacist in america because the market is saturated,in 1990s and till 2003 when america was in need for pharmacist there was no english exam even and after they started having more pharmacist they came up with phone interview to assess your english fluency then toefl exam and lastly toefl ibt where they increase scores of (listening,reading,writing and speaking year after year)..stop wasting your money..this is just way from americans to make money and to let you take the exam again and again..same as they fail people in FPGEE exam and NAPLEX exam for so many times to just get money..// I've decided to study for FPGEE a few weeks ago but every time i learn something new about the exam, i get more angry. After I learnt the thing about TOEFL exam, i guess i am done with this bullshit. And I am glad that i only studied 3 chapters from APHA before realizing my huge mistake. I can understand everything but i don't understand one thing: Why the hell they don't accept toefl ibt score reports from international ETS test site locations? Do i have to fly thousands of miles to USA just to retake my Toefl exam if i fail it on the first try? I wonder why are they accepting results from Canada, Australia and New Zealand? Is it because they are far away from everyone who really needs to take this exam? And, if they are not accepting Toefl results from the Middle East, Europe or Asia... Why the hell do they even keep those centers open? Definitely not worth my time and money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
