Toefl is a test that measures your ability to speak and use English. If you are a beginner, you
won't be able to score 100 on the test. You need to spend two weeks preparing for the exam.
Having a template for speaking in your head helps a lot. Toefl preparation can't take six months.
That's like too much time. If you require more time, that might indicate that your English level
isn't good enough. In Toefl, not only will you hear them in every section, but the test makers
expect you to use them in the writing section. So you really need to be good with phrasal verbs.
Listening 41 to 55 minutes is important when taking the Toefl test. Taking the right notes is also
important. We're going to talk about that later in this video. Speaking for 17 minutes is four
tasks. You need to talk about a familiar topic and discuss material you've read and listened to.
I am a person who uses English every single day and the reading part was so exhausting, so I
really want you to go ahead and try and take the test from home practice test and just get the
vibe of the exam. Then, you have to measure your progress if you're just starting your
preparation. What I would do is take a free practice test. They would measure your reading and
listening. The next tip is to expose yourself to non-American accents. I try to speak with an
American accent and I remember when I remember there was a British accent there was New
Zealand accent there was Australian accent so your goal is to listen to those accents and to
make yourself familiar. Toefl is an American exam like North American but you don't have to
sound North American but you just need to be consistent. Go on YouTube and look for different
accents in the search and listen to those accents. In terms of like what kind of English you
speak during the exam, that's up to you.
Taking notes while listening to a lecture is a helpful way to remember the material. If you can't
take notes quickly, try to write down some dates and key points. The most important advice is to
practice speaking and practicing your paraphrasing skills.
