I achieved my goals on the Toefl Test Hi everyone! As I says before, I was studying for the Toefl test. My English is not so good, actually I think that speaking is my weakness. When I need to read, listen and even when I need to write something in English I think it is easier than when I need to speak, and the test has 6 speaking questions and it was really hard to me, but fortunatelly I achieved my goals. My first attempt was January, 5, but my grade wasn´t enough. I needed 83 and I got 75. On February, 23, my second attempt, I felt more confidence and I got 84. I know that this score is not a big grade, but it is enough for what I will apply, and for me it is a huge achievement. I will share with you what I did to improve my grades for the second attempt. Maybe it will help someone that is facing the TOEFL: - I bought a package on the site called BestMyTest (www.bestmytest.com), because it has lots and lots of exercises. Some questions I think that are easier than the actual test, but I´ve learned how to answer the questions in a better way. For example, I had difficulties to understand Summary Questions and there I could learn the best way to answer this trick question. - I stablished a routine for everyday: - learn new 10 words from previously tests; - practice 1 section of Reading, Listening and Speaking; - Write an article here, on Italk or write an essay with the same time of actual test (30 mim) - Read an article from Times Magazine or Science Magazine (it´s free) - Watch videos on Youtube or TedTalk about subjects that you are struggling with. For example, I watched videos about Biology, because Biology´s Lectures on the Listening was hard to me. - 3 times per week: full test You don´t need to buy a package on that site. You can find some exercises on internet (Google it), but you need to know that in the actual test you will answer the test in a specific time, so don´t spend too much time to answer. Another way to practice Listening and Speaking is on Youtube: seach for Toefl Listening/Listening Practice. There are many channels with this content. Practice Listening a lot: you will use it skill in 3 sections: Listening, Writing (Integrated Question) and Speaking (every questions). Practing is a secret to do it. I studied until the day before the test, and on the day of my test I woke up early, listened some audios in English and read some articles loud. Keeping your mind thinking in English before the test. Good luck! Bye :)
