Here is my overall rating of the TOEFL

Reading
Easy-to-read passages ( I don't mean easy to understand)
Very tricky vocab questions
20 questions in 35 minutes
(Overall rating: 9/10)

Listening

1. Interesting lectures and conversations
2. Not good UI( I literally thought I finished listening section and was ready for speaking, but suddenly another lecture started)
3. You can't see the overall number of questions answered ( this surprised me a lot)
4. Very hard to listen to the audio since there will be 4 other students doing different parts of the test in the same room with you
   (Overall rating: 7/10)

Speaking
1. Requires a good amount of academic language
2. Timing sucks
3. Need to work with your short term memory and note taking skills
(Overall rating: 8/10)

Writing
1. Really easy if you use the templates
2. Fast typing helps ( I was able to re-write my essay)
3. Good vocab and grammar
(Overall rating: 9/10)

Many people have been asking about the different types of TOEFL practice tests:

TPO 1-66:
These are official test practice questions from ETS. TPO 1-66 are older tests that ETS released until around 2015. Since the test evolved slightly over the years, there are some minor differences from the current test. However, the differences are so minor that most people can’t tell the difference, and it is still a great resource to practice. I recommend using these for general practices if you have at least 3-6 months to practice before the test. (Quality: 8/10)

TPO 67-73: ?
These TPOs are newer practice tests (TPO 73 was released around 2021) from ETS. and are really good for practicing not only official questions but also recent questions. I highly recommend using these to practice within 3 months of your test date. (Quality: 9/10)

BARRON’S:
If you’re familiar with the American education system, you will probably know that Barron’s is one of the most established test prep publishers, along with Kaplan and Princeton Review. The questions in Barron’s are typically known to be a little more difficult than the real test, and this is the case for TOEFL too. Even though these questions don’t completely mimic the real test, they are still great for practicing, for “over-preparing,” or for your general English improvement. (Quality: 7/10)

TESTADMIT:
TestAdmit is the creator of a TOEFL mock test site. They created their own 12 full mock tests to let students practice. If you’re an experienced TOEFL test taker, you may notice slight differences between these questions and official TOEFL questions from ETS. Despite saying that, these questions are a lot better and similar to the real test than the practice tests you find in almost all other 3rd party websites. It certainly is a great resource to practice if you don’t have any official questions to practice. (Quality: 7/10)

ETS OFFICIAL:
ETS released 3 books to prepare for the TOEFL test: Official TOEFL iBT Tests Vol 1, Official TOEFL iBT Tests Vol 2, and ETS Official Guide. However, here’s the catch: disappointingly, even though these are questions created by the test maker, many of the content and style of the questions somehow don’t look and feel like the current TOEFL tests as much as TPO, ZTPO, or past exam questions. If you can get a hold of TPO, ZTPO, or past exam questions, then do those first. If you can’t, then these can be your options. (Quality: 7/10)

PAST EXAMS: ?
ETS only releases very limited test questions from many many years ago as TPO or ZTPO questions. However, some institutions and individuals are still able to get a hold of these questions, making these questions very valuable. Be warned: I see many people on Facebook claiming that they have past TOEFL exams. If you see a Facebook post with keywords such as “America Center,” “leaked questions,” or “TOEFL certificate,” it is a scam. The only resource that we know that offers actual past TOEFL questions is from TestAdmit. (Quality: 9.5/10)

ZTPO: ?
ZTPO differs from TPO in that ZTPO contains questions that may actually appear in a future TOEFL test. As you may or may not know, ETS often times recycles old test questions to appear again in future tests to save the cost in creating new TOEFL questions, and ZTPO is the database of these future tests. There’s no guarantee that your actual TOEFL test will contain one of these questions, but the chance is greater than 0%, whereas the chances of seeing TPO or ETS Official questions on your TOEFL test is 0%. These are the highest quality of test questions to practice, and I highly recommend using these as your study resource for the last 1-2 months before your test. (Quality: 10/10)
