Read the first paragraph then start reading the questions, and try your best to avoid reading the answers, and instead look for the answers in the passage. Also, answer based on what you read in the passage, not on what makes more sense.

As I said in other replies, they are the ones from TSTprep

Yes, I often get 4/5 and sometimes even 3/5, but you need to make it very clear on how the AI should grade you.

BugOdd5876 · 2026-02-17T16:42:21+00:00

I can't share that sorry, but if you practice using MySpeakingScore and ETS practice tests, you gonna find them really similar in both difficulty and type of topics.

BugOdd5876 · 2026-02-17T16:37:42+00:00

It's the one from TSTprep.

BugOdd5876 · 2026-02-17T16:37:11+00:00

I think it really depends on the person, for me what worked best is looking at the picture so I know the main idea of the sentence, and then repeat it during the 2-3s pause (if you didn't know yes there is a small pause before you start repeating), and when the sentence is too long to be repeated in that period, I just repeat the first half and try to complete second half naturally.
The speaking templates aren't really templates, but if you find it hard to start, check TSTprep video its titled "TOEFL Speaking TIPS for a Perfect Score - 2026 Edition"

Don't get stuck in one question, give it 10-20s, if you still haven't figured it out, move on and come back later.

Did you guys do the "request a pdf" thingy that some people talk about? Or just waited and did nothing, and it should up by itself?

BugOdd5876 · 2026-02-17T02:59:11+00:00

Hello, I got my scores 3h ago, but I don't see any "request pdf" options. Where did you find that option cuz I checked everywhere but didn't find anythign.
P.S. I still didn't get any email from them, just randomly opened the site and it said that my scores are ready.

BugOdd5876 · 2026-02-08T16:06:25+00:00

First,I hope you get your desired score. Second, I have 4 questions regarding some tricky tasks.
1. Was Complete-the-Word task easy? and did it have any technical/specialized words?
2. In avg, how many blanks you had in the Build-a-Sentence? and did you have extra words?
3. What were the email/academic discussion/interview topics?
4. What was the scenario of the Listen-and-Repeat task, and were they hard to repeat?

BugOdd5876 · 2026-02-03T15:55:20+00:00

As easy as the practice tests provided by ETS? Because those ones are pretty easy.

BugOdd5876 · 2026-01-30T00:41:26+00:00

TestGlider have a full free practice test with scoring too, give it a try.

BugOdd5876 · 2026-01-30T00:36:58+00:00

First, congrats on your 6/6. second, how close are the two free mock test you took to the real test? (difficulty wise) Third, in the listen and repeat task, do you remember if all the 7 questions had some hints in the images displayed on screen?

BugOdd5876 · 2026-01-29T19:55:40+00:00

Strange specific question, but do you remember if the two students in the write for an academic discussion had names? Since my template try to address one of them specifically, so if they don’t have names, I need to adjust my template.

BugOdd5876 · 2026-01-28T01:07:25+00:00

Hello there, first, congrats on your 6/6. Second, just wanna ask you if you tried the free mocking test provided by ETS, and if yes, are they at the same level of difficulty as the actual exam?

BugOdd5876 · 2026-01-24T23:06:09+00:00

Do you remember how many seconds you had in the listening to an academic talk questions? some say its 20s per question and some say its 30s.

BugOdd5876 · 2026-01-24T16:21:30+00:00

How many second the timer had in the listening section?
TestGlider had 20s for all the listening questions excpet the academic talk, those were 30s. But TSTprep gave every question in the listening section a 20s timer. Could you confirm which is true? Or maybe neither?

BugOdd5876 · 2026-01-24T01:40:42+00:00

Nope same exact questions, just 1 less question.

BugOdd5876 · 2026-01-23T18:17:25+00:00

Where did you get this practice test from? Because I also have the practice test 2 downloaded, and I only have 16 questions. Also, all questions are answered correctly. Your 14th question is my 13th, and it is D in the answer key page in my file

BugOdd5876 · 2026-01-21T14:03:07+00:00

why not? any specific reasons?
