Hello all, I come to here to share my results after receiving my Toefl score today and I'm so happy because I needed it for my dentist school application. I want to say that some of the tips that some of you shared here helped me a lot so I come here to give my advice if that helps anyone else too.

As an international dentist, I score 106 exceeding the requirements for my graduate studies. Balancing my professional responsibilities with test preparation was a considerable challenge but through consistent effort and immersion in English, I was able to succeed. Daily reading of English materials along with resources such as Test Admit and the official Toefl website significantly improved my comprehension skills resulting in a reading score of 26. Regular practice in English conversations combined with focused note-taking and exercises from TST Prep and Test Admit helped me achieve a listening score of 29. By engaging in daily English discussions and applying well-organized response strategies from TST Prep videos, I earned a speaking score of 28.

My writing score of 23 though lower than the other sections reflects the challenges I faced in organizing my thoughts under time constraints and expressing complex ideas with precision. However, ongoing practice using the Toefl website has been crucial in helping me strengthen my writing abilities.

I am profoundly thankful to my tutor Metages Mesfin @Meti_2323 for his constant support and guidance throughout this journey. Even though I practiced with different websites in order to increase my Toefl scores, he was the one who guided me what to do and what not to do. Please don't lose hope for this exam. Practice each day and you will see the difference. I wish you all the best luck with your toefl test.

For those taking the TOEFL on July 13, 2024, feel free to ask any questions or clear up any doubts you have about the test. I'm here to help you out.

It is sad to see so many pharmacists making bad choices and not studying for this exam with a strategic approach and not planning their time in the right way.
The result? Being stuck with the scores, feeling frustrated year after year! Asking for shortcuts and help last minute!
Many are practicing only with sites like Test Glider and they think they are on the right track! In fact, that track is only taking some of them who need a different roadmap in the wrong direction!

How to get 26+ in the TOEFL ibt speaking section

Task 4:

Look at the question and start the response directly.
Two benefits of forest fires for animals.
Introduction> one sentence> read the question exactly the way it is written> The professor explains two benefits of forest fires for animals.
Except in some questions, you may have to say what the definition is first shortly if the concept is not a familiar word like "display behavior", or " cornivirous plants".
The first benefit is…. Focus on taking notes in the next 2-3 sentences whenever the professor says, "One way is, the first way is….. Say what it is and describe it in one sentence.
For example> 2-3 4 sentences.( Write the keywords)
The second benefit: one sentence> 40 seconds
Example: 2-3 sentences.
Some Task 4 questions do not ask for two ways, two benefits. In that case, you need to focus on taking notes on the main idea and the details, and examples that support the main idea. Again write keywords and focus on listening to the audio well. Strong memory skills help you to change the keywords you write into long sentences to explain.

Good luck to everyone taking the TOEFL exam this weekend!
