Yes, you have to study! The TOEFL test is designed for those who have studied English in a classroom setting or through self study for between 2500 to 5000 hours. It is estimated that you will need a vocabulary of at least 10,000 words. You will need English skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening in order to pass. You will need to develop English grammar skills in speaking and writing. It is not an easy test that you can pass by cramming (studying very hard for a short time). The TOEFL test was given to native English speakers in two groups: (1) high school students who were planning to continue their education in college (2) high school students who did not plan on going to college. The average result for group (1) was 89%. The average result for group (2) was 81%. So even for native speakers the test presents some difficulty. The minimum passing score is about 68%...but you have to pass each section. How should you spend your time studying? Here is a suggestion made by the TOEFL people: EXAMPLE PLAN TO PASS ENGLISH TESTS 20% vocabulary 15% grammar comprehension 15% reading comprehension 15% listening comprehension 15% writing skills, short answer and essay 15% speaking skills 5% practicing test formats The good news is that you can do it! :) Good Luck!
