1. Reading: Skim only, don't try to read whole passage in detail because of time crunch 2. Recheck answer choices if you have time 3. Listening: Jot only important detail, develop and practice note taking using simple abbreviations and symbols 4. Speaking: Use your clean and tailored cohesive templates 5. Have intonation/emphasis/delivery on words 6. Writing: Use your clean and tailored cohesive templates. Practice, reiterate. PS - Resources in description
I just wanted to say thank you for the advice. For me, the most helpful piece of advice was note taking and the website where you could practice the speaking questions. It helped and I got 116/120.
@@ticketforlife2103 in your answers start general - "First, it is healthy." Then get more specific, explain how it's healthy and the benefits etc. Another example: "First, the professor says *something*. He says *explain something he said further*"
Thank you very much! I am really grateful for your videos; I scored 103/120 (R 27, L 27, S 23, W 26)! I was really bad at the beginning of my journey with TOEFL, but with everyday practice and your videos, I achieved my goal of scoring more than 100! Thank you for being so unimaginably helpful to all international students!!
I came back to this video to thank you. You were the first person that recommended me using templates, and because of it speaking was one of my highest scores. I had very little time to study, and I expected nothing above 80 but I got a 99. 💜😅
I've just taken the TOEFL test this morning and I wanted to thank you for your advice! I watched your video yesterday, feeling a little skeptical concerning my abilities but you really helped me to try and do my best! Thanks again for everything! :)
I spent good amount of money on books and tutors and it took me a year to get my Toefl and I got a 105. my friend girlfriend how ever used *DmvNerds* and she got a 118 😭
Thank you Sybil! I got 110 on my most recent test after watching your video. Your video really helped me a lot when I was struggling with speaking section. Thank you again!!
I will take my exam in 1 day and 17 hours. I'm kind of nervous and scared. Watching people who took the home edition share their good experiences makes me feel better and confident with myself, TOEFL committee, and Proctor U. Wish me best of luck and pray for me please. Thank you guys! and Thank you Sybil for this helpful video! Best of luck everyone! I pray we all get the score we need!
I registered this morning for the day after tomorrow :"), your video is such big help for my 2 days preparation, pray for me guys!! I'll come back again with my score, hihihi
Thank you so much for the tips! I hope I can do great!! My test is on Monday and I want to be really prepared for it. Wish me luck and pray for me y'all!
University Lecturer Well, actually my English is not that good! And it was my very first time talking TOEFL or IELs. My tips would be just to make sure that you know and understand the whole process of testing system, you also need to be very flexible and carefully complete all the 4 parts of TOEFL. More importantly, please practice pre-test as much as possible.
Hi Sybil! Thank you so much for your tips and for pointing me to the TST Prep channel. Keep up the great work! Your content will help so many people for years to come
...An English teacher here - just wanted to say this is a great resource for anyone taking the TOEFL! Love the tips & tricks, I will borrow some of these for my private lesson students. Small pronunciation note for you "tem·pluht" instead of "playt" - :) Have a great week!
Highly appreciate you for sharing with your experience. I will pass TOEFL IBT in soon. I will definetly use your recommedations and suggested resources for preparation. Good luck in your professional and academic ways
I’m taking my Home Edition Test in 30mins and I’m finishing up my preparations and doing last-minute reviews. I’m going in on my own with no tips and tricks and just the insight I got from the TOEFL free prep resources and a practice volume. Will check in after! Wish me luck.
Sybil! i’m korean high school students. my school is relatively in the rural . so my friends, my parents, and my all around people don’t think about broad university. they are only conceiving me to go to korean university. but i don’t wanted to satisfy this small university in the small country I wanted to see more huge world and I want to be nice. so recently , I’m looking for tips for toefl and SAT in the youtube and I find you be there! Because you are almost native, although There is surely a gap , I think it so fortunate to me to look for you in youtube thanks for a tips in native’s view 😁😁 though my English is somewhat awkward😓 but I ‘m going to enter my dream university at any cost!! thanks again Sybil , and wish my best of luck and pray for me please. See you later in USA.
You are an amazing speaker. Thank you for this detailed video, your presenting skills are on point. I've learned things I didn't consider researching before
I just want to thank you for making this video. Its amazing and so clear en clever! I am going to present my test in a few days and I will come back when I get my results.
This is so useful for me! I have recently started to browse some TOEFL information and I hope I can take the test before sophomore year! This video really gives me a more direct way to prepare my TOEFL exam! Speaking is definitely my biggest weaknesses. It’s so hard to come up with answers when I’m nervous, so I’ll definitely follow your suggestions and find my own template! Rly thank you so much for this video (btw I really enjoy listening to your English 🥺)
Yes, she learn for the test for two weeks. BUT learn the vocabulary and grammars and idioms, and whole word in dictionary such as disambiguation, discombobulation, fuddle, schyte, or remittance in few years. So don't get tricked. You can skim only if you have proper vocabulary learned and rembered. Overall, learn easier word to climb the ladder of understanding in the same time as learning grammar for structure recognition and achieve correct meaning of the word.
I just took toefl last week and the only prep I did was watch youtube videos the morning of my exam. I got a 117/120 😂 i am a current us college student tho
This is your most viewed video, I would friendly suggest you to do more stuff like that since you see that it has 30 times more of the views of the rest of your content :)
Thank you for this one and three other helpful TOEFL videos! I wish I’d seen these videos before I first took the TOEFL last year (where I scored 103 btw).. As I’m planning to study abroad, I’ll definitely prepare with the tips you’ve shared in this video and take the test again. Thank you, and keep up the good work 👍
Thx you for advicing. I saw this video a single day ago, it will be clearly helpful to study toefl! However, toefl test is terribly difficult to foreigner who aren't living in english speaking country...!
Oh my God wowo that's unbelievable amazing score. Congrats miss prettiest shine. 😀😊🎉 And can you guide or share with me some tricks, how can I raise my score especially in speaking, listening and writing section?
Hi, thanks a bunch. I speak slowly and calmly. The thing is, I also talk slowly in my native language and I have brought this habit to English. One suggestion that I have followed was improving my intonation, which I have had quite a bit of improvements. As an example, I try to use abbreviations such as hafta instead of have to and so on; however, I still need to talk faster. Speaking in details, on average, I say 80 words for task 1 and 105 for other tasks. When I start to speak faster, I lose my concentration and forget about the structure of the question. I'd really appreciate it if you suggestions about my situation in your next video. Thank you.
@@ticketforlife2103 Well, I couldn't agree more. Not just in the speed of speech, but in life in general, I think that this world, perhaps in the U. S. more than many other countries, there is this terrible obsession with speed, speed, speed. Who cares if it is done right, as long as it looks good and your boss approves, get it done yesterday. Completely lame. As a (former) computer professional, I have seen so much junky stuff that was just thrown together and barely works. Donnerwetter! So my advice to Fateme is, be yourself no matter what. You'll be happier in the long run!
Thank you for your tips, especially listening section! I realized that I was focusing on writing, not listening. I kept making wrong answers and didn't know why, and now I know that was because I tried to perfectly complete my notetaking. Thanks to you, I left my pressure on listening behind. *me watching : 2 weeks..?? Ah she's a native I got it
I wish I had seen this video earlier. I got 112/120 which is a really good score but I was under prepared for the speaking and writing section. I could have scored a bit higher if I knew about the templates before.
The only useful advice aside from studying English is to prepare for the test, know the format of the questions and practice the speaking part so you dont get cut middle sentence, its better to have time left than to leave the answer incomplete.
Before opting for the TOEFL Home Edition, be aware that I experienced a nearly 2-hour delay due to technical issues on their end, which impaired my performance and I ended up losing my money. Post-test support was inefficient, and after expressing my dissatisfaction, the final response was that they would no longer respond to my messages. Be careful when choosing this option!
Hi Sybil! I was so impressed by the way you talk, so naturally and comfortably. I always try to memorize expressions and the ways that native speakers use in any conversations. But I forget before long... How should I deal with this problem..??
I think we're in the exact same situation. I studied in the US for a year when I was little and I came to the US again for High School (since 10th Grade currently I am in 11th Grade) and now I am struggle with TOEFL....
PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER VIDEO OON SPEAKING SECTION IN THE TOEFL EXAM AND ASLO ADD A SECTION IN THE VIDEO ABOUT YOUR SCORE AND HOW YOU DID IT LIKE THIS VIDEO PLEASE PLEASE 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I watched a few youtube videos to help with the writing section. I ended up with a score of 100/120 and was dissappointed. A score of 23 in the writing section was particularly disastrous, so please dont do my mistake and study with emphasis on writing.
Hi! Planning to take this test in 6 months period. Have been working with beginner-intermediate students and feel myself a bit back. That was the reason why i want to take this test. Need an online writing tutor, if anyone who can help with writing pls, write.
Like you said you spent only two hours in two weaks to study for the TOEFL, but you said to memorizing speaking templates are highly important.So,How did you memorize a plenty of English templates in only two weeks..
