well i wanted to share my experience with you people regarding the TOEFL exam. dont prepare too much for this exam. because its not the last minutes preparation that will do the trick but a regular practice. ok here are few tips for you guys.
-
-
goto
www.gigapedia.org and create your account (if you dont have already) and search official Toefl Guide and download it.
-
study the guide for 3 to 4 days depending upon your reading speed and then solve and review all the practice tests given in the guide.
-
again goto gigapedia and search for TOEFL IBT exam simulator. yes you will find it. the one i found contained 4 practice tests. 2 of them were timed.
-
after completing the test you are ready to give the test.
one thing to make sure that as soon as you know the pattern of the test your done with the preparation. after preparing do some listening, reading, and offcourse writing practice. do watch english movies and try to translate each and every sentence in you mind. similarly read a good english book and after reading each page try writing the summary.
Tips for the test
-
Read the passge quickly. no need to read and understand everything. try to skip to the questions ASAP for saving time. as in questions it will refer to the corresponding paragraph number. read it then
-
dont let any question un touched.
-
listen carefully and write the notes.
-
dont worry if you first question was not good in the speaking section. do you best for coming questions. make short supporting sentences for avoiding pauses during ur speech.
-
do not write everything you can. but whatever u have written review it and do the best decoration to ur passge using proper punctuation, grammer, best choice of words and very few idioms if applicable.
thats it. best of luck to others.
