Everything about TOEFL & IELTS

[www.babakebadi.com]

Oh I have to add sth, would u plz introduce some useful books about TOEFL?l
My questions might have beem asked before but I dun have enough time to go through all the pages of the topic so accept my apologize if they are repetitivel

Dear Sepid,

As Dear Amir said, Kish only Give Mark Toefl for Preparation and it is not a real Test,

To do your Listening better, provide Barrons IBT book
( I Know you are not taking IBT test ),
Do the Listening Test and try to understand your weaknesse
It is very good idea if you try to repeat what you hear, as many times as necessary to be able to repeat the exact phrase, to check use the scrips at the end of the book.

When you are in Listening Exam, try to read questions before the test starts
try to guess what the answer could be ( is it a name? is it an agreement, is it a date?)

about reading, as dear Amir said, Reading the whole passage is not a good idea, just read 2 questions and then try to find one of the answers, ( don't read 1 questions, always pick a pair)

about Structure, you need a quick review, ( grammar in use is a very good book , but as a reference, so I don't recommend it) but please prepare this book:
Common mistake in English
This book can provide you lot of mistakes and correct forms which you can learn lot from them

To have real past papers I recommend you:

TOEFL ( Actual Tests)
Administrated in the past by ETS
6 full length paper-based tests
2002-2004

So just don't worry , sit relax and program your study

1- Do the real test from TOEFL Actual Test and learn from your mistake
2- Listen to Barrons Listening test and do the test
3-Repeat Listening conversations to improve your listening
4-Review Common mistake in English

thaaaaanx alot for answering me

Hey folks,
At last I took iBT... Internet Based Toefl
I absolutely messed it up ...........................l

He he he ... really it was not that bad

Lemme describe my story of taking this test

The test was to be started at 15:30

I was given a ride to Sanjesh organization

I was there by 14:30 ... after hanging around for several minutes...we entered the lab ... wooooow... what a modern and advanced lab... for several minutes you think that you are not in Iran... tables ... computers ... headphone ...!!!l

At first they took my picture by means of a webcam and I went and sat at my table C#20..l

After some ridiculous instructions the test bigan

At first hardware was checked

Then the reading part ... 3 long and boring readings... The best strategy is to not even skim it and immediately go to the questions... read each question and find its answer... unless, if you want to read all of the reading, you will be short of time for sure
Regularly it has 3 readings ... however some unlucky and miserable test takers should answer 5 long and exhausting readings...anyway, the reading part was over and was not bad

Immediately the listening part began, well...the listenings were a bit harder than what I had practiced with Delta or Longman book and Kaplan software, however, it was not too bad and I think I could get through it ... taking notes is a necessary skill here, it contains 3 conservations and 6 lectures... the lectures are really long

After that we had a break for 10 minutes, eating two cakes and soft drinks and needless to say... responding to call of nature l

And after a couple of minutes ... the most dreadful part began... yes SPEAKING which I was always afraid of... It had 6 questions ... 2 independent ... 2 integrated listening, reading, speaking questions and 2 integrated listening speaking questions. The topic for the first independent speaking was:
1- Which skill do you think is the most important for future jobs? 1-Computer skills, 2- Social communication 3- Creativity
The second topic for independent question:
unfortunately I don't remember now
Anyway, it wasn't that bad... although my speaking was somehow slow but I had a few fragments in it

And at last, the writing part with an integrated listening-reading-writing question and an independent one. The topic of the independent writing was:
Which one has the greater effect on the society: cars or airplanes?l
we have committed not to disclose the test materials ... !!!

And finally, the nightmare of iBT was finished. l

On the whole, it was a pleasant experience... I hope to get something more than 90

OK... our story is finished now
We went up there was youghourt
We went down and there was another kind of youghourt!
Our story was true

Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite

Hello my Professional Friend

I sincerely congratulate you on getting a great score in Tofel Exam

Thanks

you better know I never hesitate to ask my Questions ; lol

That's OK

first talk about Delta and Longman book & also Kaplan software that you mentioned in the above post

What do you mean? Talk? They help you to prepare for TOEFL! Delta is better than Longman I suspect. Kaplan is a software. Overall, I think Delta is the best. First of all you should know, or you may know that we have 3 types of TOEFL test, paper based, computer based and internet based. I took internet based TOEFL (iBT)l

؟ was the listening part consisted of slang terms too
؟ over all ; is it required to know idioms and slang term for toefel Exam

Mmmmmmm .... (That's I'm thinking!).. you know, I really don't remember. Of course it is helpful to have a good command of idioms and expressions (not definitely slang terms), but honestly my idiom and expression knowledge was not good at all, nevertheless my result was really good. (111 out of 120 in the 2nd effort)l

is speaking given a high priority in this exam

In the PBT and CBT types there is no speaking part. However, in iBT, there is speaking part too. iBT is divided into 4 sections: Reading, listening, speaking, writing, each part has 30, totally 120. These four sections have the same value. For us Iranian (and generally every non-native speaker) usually speaking is the most difficult section. I myself got the worst score in this part, 23 out of 30

nothing of above is understandable for me

in your posts in this thread which have all been read by me ; you said that there are different softwares for toefel preaparation ; can you explain it more please

If you read Delta book you can understand everything. But it is required in case of taking internet based TOEFL, which is usually considered as the most difficult type because of speaking and writing. If you want to participate in this test, I recommend Paper Based TOEFL.

u didn't talk about any vocab part in your exam
so what was the role of vocabulary in ur exam
؟ just the use was limited in phrase reading

As I said before, there is not a separate Vocab section in TOEFL test any more. However, your vocabulary knowledge is really important, because you need it in any section of the test.
