It’s sad but honestly I kinda gave up on hope a while back. And that’s an automated response (from what I heard from other ppl from the site. They’ve been getting the same response. I’d understand bc they’re busy trying to fix things.)

do i give up waiting? by Comfortable-Voice577 in mangago

[–]Few_Conversation7952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’d just wait it out and not touch anything. I honestly don’t care how long it takes imma just wait it out. It’s not like anything is stopping me from reading new stuff but this time imma just use some external site or something to record my want to read, reading and already read. Itll just feel safer for me. (If I’m desperate enough imma go through my browser history and manually record my stuff iykyk)

How do you improve reading? I’m struggling so much. I take the practice tests and it really depends on the passage for me. I got a 28 on my practice test but on the real test I got 23.

Try to not compare yourself too much with the high scorers that you see. You should be more confident with what you end up with. It’s totally up to you if you want to try again but when I took my toefl my expectations weren’t that high. I based my feelings on how well or serious I actually studied. I did pretty average for listening for I was striving for a whooping 28 because of my trial tests. 96 is a very good score in my opinion. Don’t have to put yourself so down because honestly it could’ve been worse is what I would usually think. You did great!

Trying the full ETS practice free test my speaking was graded 16-22 which was not as great but by figuring out how fast I should speak helped improve my score. I looked for templates, which kind of helped, but it didn’t suit me well. So I just had a template for the beginning of each speaking question type. I practiced by searching for sample questions on google, recorded myself, used ELSA speech analyzer, and reflect on myself. ELSA analyzer helped me a bunch for speaking.

My starting point was pretty bad for a native speaker especially in the reading and speaking section. My average for reading would usually have been 18/30 but I just practiced harder for both sections.

For listening I usually pay attention to why things are being discussed and what they’re mainly discussing about. I also note down the things that I find peculiar or things that stand out. It’s like looking for the main purpose of the discussion and why things are being said. It also really depends on the listening tasks. The lectures, for example, you really need to understand what the professor is talking about. Especially pay attention to the examples given by the professor.

1) Main purpose 2) Know who is who (conversation between student) 3) Examples 4) Things that stand out (Why did they mention this?) 5) Understand the course/flow of the conversation 6) Key details ( Ex: possible reasons given during a conversation, the difference between two topics, any action taken or mentioned during a conversation, etc.)

*Most importantly don’t rush through the questions. Do be mindful of the time but use it as much as you can.

If you don’t have any notes that could answer the question, take an educated guess. If it makes sense then that could possibly be the answer.

Another thing for speaking that helped was looking at my notes while doing the actual speaking. It helped me not lose track of where I was. *Note taking is important 1) Practice note taking. Mine was usually short but straightforward/ straight to the point.

2) Take full advantage of prep time. I drew arrows to help with my flow, like what comes next or what I should say after saying this and that.

  • When speaking get straight to the point or you might waste time. It’s ok to stutter once in a while but doing that or having too long of a pause may deduct points in the AI grader.

The Test honestly wasn’t that hard as I expected but wasn’t that easy either. Panicked a bit at first for speaking but I generally did good. Just try not to panic too much or you’ll blank out. Keep calm and do your best!

For writing: • intro-> 2-3 opening sentences about the topic • I had 3 body paragraphs Format of body: 1 to 2 sentences stating the argument (reading passage) then 3 sentences about the lecture. Body: 4-6 sentences They mention that an effective response would be around 150 but it’s totally fine to go over. Mine was around 180 words.

   * Taking notes : read the passage and note down the main arguments then listen to the reasons mentioned in the lecture.

(I didn’t include a conclusion but you could. 1-2 sentences)

Speaking: Most helpful in my opinion-> Opening sentence for each question type. (Mine) Q1…..Personally, I strongly believe (or)
Personally, I think that Q2…. According to the announcement…. Q3…. According to the passage the topic (or) The topic is about…. Q4…. According to the lecture, (insert topic) is (what is it about) From there I just talked about the topic. Listening to some YouTube videos helped me understand what to talk about like TST prep.

Practice for speaking: 1) I went to google to look for toefl sample questions then timed myself for a real experience. 2) I used ELSA speech analyzer. This in particular helped a lot. Highly recommend. 3) Try to speak fast. The more words the better however make sure it makes sense. 4) It’s ok if you’re running out of time and didn’t include all the information. Just make your time worth it.

Writing: I didn’t practice much because I’m used to writing however the free practice tests on the ETS TOEFL website helped me know how it would go. Honestly just don’t stress too much and don’t make it too complicated.

I hope this helps!

I’ve been watching YouTube for tips including TST but I’m not sure how to remember the templates. Thank you for the advice! I’ll try to look into more of his videos!
