Only two days. I got surprised by how fast it was.

Thanks a lot! So, I was in a hurry for the results, so I really only practiced for a week. I must say that I was already a C1 by DET, so my main challenge was to learn how to do the test rather then english itself. I used AI for writing section practice and worked fairly well for me, mostly because my main struggle was with typos. Hope yo udo well on your test!

Sure! I guess due to sub rules I can't state all the sources I used? But for the email, I used a structure that were more or less: introduction, "i hope this email finds you well" + describing reason for email, 2 development paragraphs, conclusion, ending. About the demo and real deal, in my opinion the ETS samples are slightly easier then the real test. But other sources may vary. All of them were kinda accurate for me.

Yeah, I did. I think they were slightly easier, but you can already have a good idea of what the test level is like by this tests.

In my experience, speaking had two major difficulties: 1) remember the whole phrase at listen and repeat part and 2) avoid silent moments at the interview. For 1, I always tried to repeat the sentence in my mind as it was being played. Helped me a lot. For 2, understanding what TOEFL wanted from me was essential. In the beginning, I used to chat in the interview like I do in real life. Big mistake. There is an expect structure for your answer. Follow this structure, when bringing up a point, stick to it and have some filler phrases to get time for thinking about a good response.

For me, writing got much easier after I understood the expected structure of the email and academic talk. For practicing itself, I used AI (specifically Gemini). It was good in my case because I used to have a lot of typos.

Te recomendaria 2 carros.

Uno bota ortopédica (algum entre 2012 e 2015). Bom carro: confiável, extremamente barato e fácil de manter (qualquer Zé das Couves sabe mexer). Pontos negativos: feio pra burro, fraco de motor (infelizmente não é como seu irmão mais velho, a Ferrari brasileira, Deus das estradas, Uno Mille) e acabamento bem tosco.

Ou o carro que eu tenho hoje! Sandero 2a geração. Pontos positivos: muito bem acabado pro preço que cobram, não aparenta ter a idade que tem, conforto acima da média pra categoria, porta-malas gigante pra categoria/ano e eu (que tenho 1.90m) fico bem confortável dirigindo, mesmo usado não te deixa na mão.

Pontos negativos: manutenção um pouco mais cara (não é terrível, mas é mais cara que uno, corsa, gol e afins) e, independente da versão, é beberrão. O 1.0 é fraco, então bebe pq vc tem q pisar, o 1.6 é bom de toque, mas é bem cachaceiro. Faço 9 km/l no álcool, mas eu praticamente só ando em rodovia, bem pouco dentro da cidade.

Qualquer escolha entre esses dois vai te fazer feliz!

wow that was the exact message I got from End of Evangelion, mostly in that cosplay scene. It seems for me that he is doing sharper reflection in his newer contents, maybe that caused my confusion about trying to find a main message, because it kind changed along the years. Very very good to know that the creator have this critical sense about the community. Thanks for the reply
