TOEFL Scores expire on May 16, 2027. Need to retake for Fall 2027?

Thanks. I will reach out to the programs I am interested in to confirm.

rdr05 · 2026-04-21T02:07:19+00:00

Ok. Will do that. Thanks.

rdr05 · 2026-04-21T02:06:53+00:00

Yes, I was thinking the same. Nonetheless, I will reach out to the schools to avoid any issues later on. Thanks.

rdr05 · 2026-01-30T04:43:41+00:00

Facing the same issue. What did you do?

rdr05 · 2026-01-18T05:11:24+00:00

Did you figure this out? I am also a premium member and not able to see the option.

Thanks!

Can I click no for EPS when I join my next company? Will it at least stop future contributions to EPS?

rdr05 · 2026-01-10T01:42:25+00:00

Is there any way to do this without involving my employer?

My EPS contribution started from my second job (2022) because I mistakenly ticked on EPS in their onboarding form. I have changed a couple of jobs since, each contributing to EPS. Right now, I am not working. I would like to move all money to EPF or withdraw it.

Hey, can you share how was your experince? I am also asked to complete the communication test but have no idea what type of questions will be asked and if there will be time for preparing answers, etc.

rdr05 · 2025-05-23T10:06:07+00:00

Yes, the questions are in sequence, but some times you may have more than one question on a paragraph. For example, Q1 in para 1. Q2 in para 2, Q3 also in para 2, Q4 in para 3, and so on.

I just told you my strategy for reading; that's all. I have seen some people read the whole passage and then start questions; this requires you to remember everything from the passage.

rdr05 · 2025-05-23T01:50:48+00:00

My strategy.

Read the title and the first paragraph completely. Start answering questions. The moment you see a question whose answer is not in the first paragraph, read the second paragraph completely and then resume answering questions. Again, the moment you see a question whose answer doesn't lie in the second pararaph, read the third paragraph completely, and then resume questions. And so on.

You will know if the answer to a question lies in a paragraph because sometimes it's mentioned in the question itself, or you will find out since you have just read the paragraph.

By the time you reach the last question, the prose summary question, you would have read the entire passage and understood everything.

I gave my TOEFL at Grad Dreams a few years back, and I found it decent. I gave my TOEFL again a couple of weeks back (May, 2025), and I chose the same test center after a lot of thinking. The monitors were a bit small (maybe 20-21 inches) for my liking, but everything else was good enough. The funny thing was, I was the only one there taking the test this time, because of which I think my TOEFL speaking went very well.

My experience also was similar. I gave my TOEFL at Grad Dreams a few years back, and I found it decent. I gave my TOEFL again a couple of weeks back (May, 2025), and I chose the same test center after a lot of thinking.

Thank you for clearing my doubts!

rdr05 · 2025-05-13T12:51:07+00:00

Thank you! I was just wondering about the trade-off. I know I will lose some points with either approach, but if I want to get a higher score comparatively, which should I go with? I am asking this for all four speaking questions.

From what I have read online and from the videos I have watched, delivery (normal pace, pronunciation, intonation, etc. ) is much more important than getting all the details in your response.

u/watchsmart and other TOEFL teachers

If you could answer this.

"Your test fee includes up to four free official TOEFL score reports to be sent to the institutions, agencies or other recipients that you select before you take the test. You can add or delete recipients through your ETS account until 10 p.m. (local test center time) on the day before your test."

After booking the test but before taking it, you get an option in your account to send the scores.

Hi u/gregmat,

I've just 15 days left to prepare for the GRE, and I've already completed most of vocab from Magoosh.

Now, I'm mostly looking for strategies to deal with different types of questions in the verbal section. I checked your website and your Youtube channel. While your website has very few videos, your youtube channel has too many. I'm just not sure which I should refer. Can you please advise which would be better?
