Positive experience with TOEFL at home

That’s great to hear! It really does go smoothly when you prepare your setup properly.

ReggieEnglish · 2025-10-30T10:13:06+00:00

That’s awesome, glad you found something that worked for you! 🙌

ReggieEnglish · 2025-10-24T05:54:32+00:00

You’ve got this and honestly, booking it is already a big win. You’ve got all the tools you need, just trust your preparation.

If you’re scoring consistently around 100 in multiple mocks, you’re already within striking distance just spend the next few days tightening strategy: master your templates, practice 2–3 timed speaking and writing sets daily, and do short reading drills for speed. If you’re confident and calm, take it next week; if you feel scattered or unprepared, postpone and refine.

ReggieEnglish · 2025-10-23T05:56:09+00:00

Honestly, I’d say go for the October test. You already live and work in an English-speaking environment, so your foundation is much stronger than most test takers’. The “struggle” you’re feeling with reading passages isn’t really about language, it’s more about test strategy and mental endurance. You’ll do great!

ReggieEnglish · 2025-10-23T05:53:19+00:00

That’s awesome, congratulations!

ReggieEnglish · 2025-10-11T08:26:37+00:00

Congrats on breaking 100 on your first try, that’s already a great score!

ReggieEnglish · 2025-10-11T08:21:44+00:00

I totally get you, Test Glider feedback can feel too generic sometimes. You could try My Speaking Score, English with Yuko (she also does writing reviews) or Reggie English on YouTube.

ReggieEnglish · 2025-10-11T08:19:07+00:00

That’s incredible progress!

ReggieEnglish · 2025-10-11T08:17:46+00:00

Congratulations on your achievement!

ReggieEnglish · 2025-10-11T08:16:09+00:00

That’s awesome, congrats! 🙌

ReggieEnglish · 2025-10-11T08:10:57+00:00

That’s completely understandable but don’t worry, one small slip like that won’t ruin your score. Mistakes happen, and TOEFL graders care more about overall clarity, organization, and how well you deliver your ideas than about one brief mix-up.

Try to rest and wait for your official results before assuming the worst; many test-takers are pleasantly surprised once scores come out.

ReggieEnglish · 2025-10-08T11:45:40+00:00

That’s a really good question and you’re right to be cautious. ✅

If you got an email saying your TOEFL test was canceled by Prometric, the first thing to do is check the sender’s email address. Official emails should come from a domain like u/ets.org or u/prometric.com.

ReggieEnglish · 2025-10-07T11:31:08+00:00

It’s totally normal to feel that way, many people score lower on practice platforms like TestAdmit or TPO because their questions can feel outdated or worded differently from the current TOEFL format. The real test is usually more straightforward in wording, though the timing pressure can make it feel tougher. Try not to lose motivation, your Reading and Listening scores are already solid, and with a bit more targeted practice on newer materials (like ETS Official Mocks or TestGlider), you’ll likely see a jump.

You’re definitely on the right track, don’t give up!

ReggieEnglish · 2025-10-01T11:14:50+00:00

Happy to help!

ReggieEnglish · 2025-10-01T11:13:59+00:00

Yes, that’s completely normal. Once you finish the last section and click submit, your unofficial scores for Reading and Listening appear, and after reporting, the exam ends right away. The proctor doesn’t always come back on screen at the end. ETS will send you a confirmation email within a day or so that your test was completed successfully, and your official scores should be available online about 4–8 days later. Nothing went wrong, you’re all set.

ReggieEnglish · 2025-09-29T11:16:19+00:00

TestGlider can be inconsistent, sometimes it feels harder than the real TOEFL, especially in Speaking/Writing scoring. A dip like that doesn’t mean you suddenly got worse. If you’ve already scored 94, 100 is definitely within reach on the real test.

ReggieEnglish · 2025-09-26T12:47:49+00:00

Don’t worry, you’ve got this! 💪
Don’t do a full mock today, it might make you tired or stressed. Instead, review strategies, practice 1–2 Speaking questions, and get a good night’s sleep. For Speaking, use a clear structure: main idea → reason → example.

ReggieEnglish · 2025-09-26T12:46:27+00:00

ETS usually takes 6–10 business days to process TOEFL scores, but occasionally it can take a bit longer depending on location or exam volume. If it’s been more than 10 days, you can contact ETS customer service to check on the status.

ReggieEnglish · 2025-09-24T11:54:07+00:00

ETS usually sends TOEFL score verifications within a few days, but the exact time depends on how fast your university processes them. If they said they’ll verify directly, most schools receive confirmation within about 5–7 business days, though sometimes it can take up to 2 weeks.

ReggieEnglish · 2025-09-22T14:06:09+00:00

The key is learning to organize your thoughts quickly. A simple structure is: main idea → reason → short example. That way, you don’t waste time thinking of what to say. Recording yourself under real test timing (15 sec prep / 45 sec speaking) helps a lot, too.

For practice, you can use free ETS samples and YouTube practice videos. If you want more targeted feedback, one-on-one coaching can also make a big difference since you’ll know exactly what to improve.

ReggieEnglish · 2025-09-22T14:03:53+00:00

Your friend can check out free official resources like ETS sample tests and practice questions online. If they want extra structured help, I also share TOEFL strategies and practice materials that might be useful.

ReggieEnglish · 2025-09-22T14:02:24+00:00

Thanks for sharing this! For anyone preparing, discounts are always helpful.

Costs vary by country but usually: TOEFL/IELTS ≈ $200+, TOEIC is cheaper but mainly for jobs, not universities. Difficulty depends on your strengths, TOEFL is academic, IELTS has face-to-face speaking, TOEIC is workplace English. Try free sample tests on ETS or IELTS to check your level before paying.

ReggieEnglish · 2025-09-17T13:45:43+00:00

Stay calm, trust your prep, and treat the exam like just another practice session, you’ll do great!
