TOEFL Listening Practice Test With Answers

[@TSTPrep]

CORRECTION, PASSAGE 1, QUESTION 2, SPOILERS BELOW.... .... .... ... .. ... ... ... The answer key says that "C" is correct but "A" or "C" could be correct. Some have argued that "D" should also be considered a possible answer but I still consider "D" incorrect because it does not imply that she can "easily" find a job, the person in the conversation does say "we can sign you up for the work-study program no problem", but that is NOT the same as easy finding a job. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and don't hesitate to ask and challenge any other answers :)

Please, where's the model answer, I couldn't find it to check my score ?

[@akawolzie7157]

The argument I would like to make here is that in option A, the second part of the statement says finding a job, which is not specific to the work-study program and can be irrelevant. For option C, the professor never really implies that it is a good decision and only that they can "definitely" sign her up for the work study program, and also the fact that he tells her to try 10 hours a week first shows that he knows that she should be cautious to see if it is indeed a good decision. Which now leads to option D, clarifying why she can "easily" get on the work study program (since definitely means its mostly guaranteed) due to her good grades/ being a good student. Edit: I wanted to ask this, since in your reasoning I felt you made the point that the word "no problem" doesnt mean easy. But I would say it was the word "definitely" that implies that she would get it easily. If you do check this and make further points, can you give a few tips on how to avoid mixups like this if i did interpret this wrong? Since to me option D was the most direct and obvious connection.

[@joshm5021]

@@akawolzie7157 thank you for your thoughtful comment, I think I understand your point and will address the following: "Which now leads to option D, clarifying why she can "easily" get on the work-study program (since definitely means its mostly guaranteed) due to her good grades/ being a good student." Choice D states "The student will easily be able to find a job on campus because she has good grades" --> good grades is not the same as being a good student. I have already explained the rationale for the other choices extensively. -- In regards to advice on mix-ups, they happen often, even to native speakers and TOEFL teachers like myself. When you encounter one, identify what the problem was and keep it in mind to avoid it next time, that's about all you can do really. Language is dense and contextual so there is no one rule I can give in a quick KZbin comment to solve all your problems... unfortunately. Just take it one at a time.

Is been 2 years since i took the toefl, it was a crazy experience. I am now preparing for SAT and as an international student I am so lost as I was when I first took the toefl. That is why I came back here to feel some guidance again and good Lord is so nostalgic! It made me cry. You have no idea just how many young students all around the world rely on your content, we grow with no help or guidance whatsoever, the whole american dream of a decent education feels so hard and so far, many of us are the first generation on our whole blood to even get a chance to get higher education. The bravest risk it all and strike to travel all across the globe for a better future, with people like u as our only help and company, is a journey. I just wanted to say thank u man. Those proud claps you do, after a long day of hard work, gave me hope to keep going.

I can understand English but memorizing an entire conversation in a few seconds is a complete different matter..

[@TSTPrep]

That's why you need to take notes. The lectures are really long and so are the conversations. There are a lot of details, and you have questions about some of those details. Will be nearly impossible to answer if you don't have good notes for it. Learn more about note-taking in this article - tstprep.com/articles/toefl/taking-notes-for-the-listening-section-of-the-toefl-test/. Hope you find it useful!

[@fuchryy]

@@TSTPrep is it ok to take a notes while during the test ?

[@TSTPrep]

@@fuchryy You can take notes whenever you like. The only exception is at the beginning of a section when they are reading directions (or during the 10-minute break time in the middle of the test)

[@fma3852]

Omg congrats was the test hard and can you give some tips I will really appreciate

[@itsme.giovanna]

@@fma3852 Hi! Since I only had a couple of days to prepare myself, I had to focus on my main weakness - that was speaking. I practiced all of the sessions with the help of KZbin videos, but I focused more on speaking. TOEFL is a really long test so my main tip is to remain focused and calm. Go through the sessions after taking a minute to breath, and don’t let anxiety stress you out. What really helped me was to take smart notes; there are some videos about that too. You should focus on the important topics, especially on Writing and Speaking. For writing, I’d say you should read the questions first, not the entire text first because it would just make you waste time. Sometimes the answer really is the most obvious one! Hope this helps a little bit and good luck!!!!!

[@ryanoheron5354]

As a native speaker this is why I have a problem with the test. The first question in the real world could be b or c. "If I don't start paying of my student loans now I am going to be strapped for cash after graduation so I was hoping I would be able to join the work study program and get a job on campus." She states her reason which is basically " I want to start paying off my student loans" THEREFORE I want to join work study. The reason is so she can pay off loans, so she needs a job which is provided by work study. She probably would not be there in the first place if she didn't have to worry about the loans so, the rooted reason is not to work study, but is to pay off loans. Work study is just the means to do this. Unless I studied for how these questions are supposed to be answered, I wouldn't get a perfect score.

Hi Sundar, it would be really helpful if you could help with your resources and plan? I'll be appearing it within a week or so. Have just started w the prep.

[@sundarramanp3057]

@@AbhishekGupta-ik4og Sure. I gave GRE one week before TOEFL, so vocabulary wasn't an issue. Practice speaking and listening alone from TSTprep videos; they have a lot of mock tests here. Practicing for GRE will cover-up for TOEFL's reading and writing.

Basically it's langual understanding and interpretation exam! If you cannot use English fluently but good at language use, you can get a high score! Sounds like it fit in the originality and purpose of the examination!

Hi @Siddhesh Hushangabade How did you prepare for listening and speaking?

[@florishpeters5805]

Did you do online test or test centre?

[@sylvainforget2174]

I took the TOEFL forty years ago and got an excellent score which gave me the confidence to go to university and complete an undergraduate degree. I have been speaking English almost exclusively since then. I did not do as well in this practice test as I thought I would. I am wondering if I got tired brain cells in my retirement years.

[@TSTPrep]

Haha and good question! Listening and reading academic passages in English is a much different skill than how we use language every day, so it would be perfectly natural to perform poorly on this test if you haven't been in school for a while, and this goes for the average native speaker as well. I don't think my parents would do great on the TOEFL, haha.

Can't get my head around how the answer for question 2 passage 1 is C. What does being a good student has to do with it being a good decision? he even warns her about how working might hurt her grades

[@TSTPrep]

Good question Argentino. This question type is "understand the function" and you have to focus on the repeated phrase in the question rather than the passage as a whole. In this case, for this particular excerpt, C is the best answer.

[@harukas.1635]

I agree. For Passage 1, Question 2, the answer C just doesn’t make any sense. The explanation doesn’t either. Sorry about saying this. Unless, the pause between “ you’re a smart student” and “ we can definitely sign you up…” a bit longer to make them more separated, to make the first part closer to the beginning of the conversation, the part about wanting to sign up for the work-study program, rather than to “we can definitely sign you up….”. Then the being smart part would be more relatable to her making a good decision. Just saying.

[@perfect152515]

@@TSTPrep native american english here. That answer makes no sense, and neither does this explanation! A is clearly the best answer, and I'd even choose D over C. No speaker would ever mean C with the phrase in the question.

[@zipfelhoi7086]

Hi Josh, thanks for your tests. I've done pretty much all of your Listenings and Readings now and I find that it's very noticeable that you often include multiple answer choices that say almost the same thing. For example, here in passage 5, task 1, answer options b and d. I can't understand why d should be wrong here. At the end of the lecture, the professor even repeats the various "steps" that led to life on earth. Even if they may not be complete. -> proteins from space -> photosenthysis etc.

[@TSTPrep]

You can find all answer explanations in the downloadable PDF in the description, but in general, there are some tricky questions and answer choices in the TOEFL iBT so be prepared for answer choices that are similar.
