Thank you so much for your kind words. It would be a HUGE help if you could leave a review on Trust Pilot - es.trustpilot.com.

​@@TSTPrepDone Josh! ❤

[@ranaelmanzalawy]

how is the maximum score 23? shouldn't it be 22??

[@HosamMahdi-h1b]

check the beginning of the video there is something called score estimate which will be your score in the exam out of 30

[@airbender9]

​​@@HosamMahdi-h1b but still 22 is max

[@taimaal_bakar8075]

I'm very greatful for ur channel since all channels here provide us with extremely difficult paragraphs, really it's impossible to understand them . I hope the level of real exam's paragraphs like this

[@tvscharankruthik7661]

17:42 how is one of the answers E? The critics warned about the problems, subscribers refers to the supporters. The supporters of transce* have not warned right? Isnt the correct A,B and F?

[@TSTPrep]

Hi. Thanks for your question. E is only a minor idea and doesn’t connect well to the main points.

[@tamitamitamikvernadze]

I have test on 7/27/2024, fingers crossed, I can't thank you enough for your help.

[@marcaosovietico]

hey man, how its been for you ? have you got your grade yet ?

[@Phathaidatha]

Thank you. I will do it next week my toefl is 353.

[@WertaAwetz]

Thanks Josh for the sources and essential informations you have provided!!! it means a lot

[@TSTPrep]

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Much appreciated!

[@НазарПальванов]

Why raw points are 23 max score if the number of questions is 20 and 2 of them worth 2 which should make the max 22?

[@TSTPrep]

The maximum is 22. Sorry for the confusion.

[@raimundojunior3958]

Thank you pretty much! Amazing How excelent tutor you are!

Please Josh, could you share more videos about the reading section?

[@TSTPrep]

Hi there and thank you for commenting. Have you seen this playlist? kzbin.info/aero/PLo8HPysuqfKiXp1ht0DzZN_f8EHj3XSEw

[@A.mi44]

I have a question, how is the new Toefl reading is graded There are 20 questions and the score is out of 30 Can you explain that ?

[@TSTPrep]

Each section is still worth 30 points, but the number of Reading questions has been reduced. So, the weight of each question has changed, but each section is still worth 30 points.

[@gitamorezqi.m]

Hi, there! Thanks for the video and the answer explanations. I notice there's a difference of key answer for number 10 of Hydroculture in your video description and your pdf. Which one is correct?

[@TSTPrep]

Hi there and thank you for asking. The correct answer key is in the description, 10. A, B, D. Sorry for the confusion.

[@dahae.04]

Hi, I have a question. In those questions where you have to choose up to 3 answers, if I get only a few or 1 of them right (for example: question 10 answer: A,E,F ; I put B,C,F) will I get any score out of this or I just got the question wrong? Btw, thank you for your videos, they are really helpful.

[@TSTPrep]

Hi there and thank you for asking. If all three choices are correct, award yourself two points. If two choices are correct and one is incorrect, award yourself one point. If two or more choices are incorrect, you earn zero points for the given question.

[@555shoe]

paragraph 2 question 2: b) isn't correct either because biofuel is made out of crop, it is nothing that grows. b) is actually never mentioned in the passage. for me d) is the best answer so not 100% if you are pedantic because it mentions "potentially". also, it was a mess finding the free pdf, after like ten logins and signups and emails

[@TSTPrep]

Thank you for your question. B is the answer. In the passage, the author states that "...a number of previously productive agricultural regions are no longer as fertile as they once were because of the weather".

[@curatedreddit1005]

For the first paragraph question num 6, the passage says it was an all-male school until 1973, which means after that it was not. So, isn't option B incorrect since in the 20th century, it obviously wasn't an all-male school?

[@TSTPrep]

B would be true because in the 20th century (1973), Harvard stopped being an all male school. Since we are looking for the false answer, we cross it off.

[@bhawnachoudhary2447]

Hi Josh! thanks for the video. I think the maximum marks should be 22(9+9+4). Why is it mentioned to be 23? Correct me if I am wrong!

[@TSTPrep]

You are right, it should be 22. Sorry for the confusion.

[@bhawnachoudhary2447]

@@TSTPrep no issues! Thanks!

[@elif-gm6kh]

Does the order in which we place the options we choose in the question in which we summarize the reading passage matter? For example, the answer is a d e and I typed it as a e d.

[@TSTPrep]

For summary questions, no, the order doesn't matter, you are right. I hope that helps!

[@raimundojunior3958]

Sorry, not a native and trying improve my lovely idiom inglish, specially american inglish!

[@EshaKazi-n8g]

Hello again Josh! Thank you so much for all your masterpiece videos. I am having a question. The 10th question has 3 answers to choose. What if I choose 2 answers correctly and one incorrectly, will I get the partial mark for choosing two correct answer for that particular question or will I end up getting zero marks for that question?

[@TSTPrep]

Summary questions are worth two points. If all three choices are correct, award yourself two points. If two choices are correct and one is incorrect, award yourself one point. If two or more choices are incorrect, you earn zero points for the given question.

[@v_tayne]

12:09 why are you sure that she DID RESEARCH in the library? :) actually, hate such questions

[@TSTPrep]

If they granted her access to the library, it is safe to assume she used it to read and do research. Yes, these questions can be tough :)

[@hsujerry7231]

I don't know why the answer of question 7 in the passage 1 is C. I cannot see any sign saying that the editor and the reviewer are two jobs that women cannot do.

[@TSTPrep]

This is a very good point. The connection here is not very strong. I guess the argument is because of all the other things she did that women could not do, like have access to library, it is unlikely other woman could have held jobs that required being well read, or jobs that required a high level education which most women could not get.

[@kartikanand5374]

​@@TSTPrep Is it normal for ETS to give such options with not quite strong of a connection to the passage and yet are still correct?

[@TSTPrep]

@@kartikanand5374 First of all, we are not ETS, we are a separate test prep school. We have mixed opinions about our tests, some people find them easier others find them more difficult than the TOEFL iBT, but in general, there are some tricky questions and answer choices in the real TOEFL iBT as well.

[@picshotphotobooth2865]

Hi! In question 10 if you do not respond the three choices correctly, you do not get any of the 2 points?

[@picshotphotobooth2865]

What happens if you respond one or two out of the three correctly?

[@Universalfun0]

That is my question too

[@TSTPrep]

Summary questions are worth two points. If all three choices are correct, award yourself two points. If two choices are correct and one is incorrect, award yourself one point. If two or more choices are incorrect, you earn zero points for the given question.
