TOEFL Reading: Answer Every Question BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT!

[@zelotis864]

I took my first TOEFL test last Wednesday. I almost ran out of time on the reading and listening part. But I still managed to finish everything and scored 101/120 (23/26/25/27), which is more than enough of what I need for my main university. Thanks a lot for all the help with your videos, especially with the speaking section!

[@TSTPrep]

Great news and happy to hear you have earned the score you needed!

I just took my TOEFL and I am really concerned over my performance in the writing. Can you approximately tell me how does it influence my score on the writing if I did not elaborate on the third body paragraph. Ich wrote a introduction, conclusion and the first two body paragraphs (each very strong) But for the third I didnt have time. Can I still score 23+ ? Academic discussion task was also strong.

[@TSTPrep]

@@ALEX-pu3rh Hi Alexander and thank you for your question. ETS does not release this type of information, so it is hard to say exactly what your score might be if you cannot explain the lecture completely. If I were to take a guess, I would say .5 points or less, since there are many other important aspects of your response that are graded. I know it's stressful, but it's best to just wait and see right now. Congrats on finishing the test! Try to take it easy :)

Where can I get the mock test?🙏

[@andreazavala3909]

Hiii, I just wanted to leave my comment especially on this video. The reading section was the hardest part for me during my prep of 3 weeks because I took a few mock tests and somehow scored 19/30 every time. I'm on B2 level and I needed 80 minimum, overall I was VERY anxious before the test but I just got my results and scored 23R, 26L, 23S & 23W !!! so please don't be afraid, if I could get the scores I dreamed about, you definitely will too!! Just listen to EVERY tip Josh gives, he literally saved me, THANK YOU SO MUCHHH

Thanks for the tip: You don't have to read the passage first. Previously, I often ran out of time during mock tests and scored between 21-23 points. But after watching this, I scored 29 on the first test. It's definitely a big help.

[@lin_i_fan_1999]

I thought that by going through the passage, I could remember something in advance. However, I almost forgot everything haha.

[@TSTPrep]

Great. 😁Thank you for your feedback.

I just took my first TOEFL test last Saturday on 27th of April and yeah I couldn’t really focus doing the Reading Section 😅 Time went by really fast when I tried to comprehend and answer at the same time. I ALMOST couldn’t finish the last question which is the prose summary type of qn 😂

Hi there and thank you for sharing. I hope you get your goal score after all.

Hello. I took my Toefl IBT test today. To start off, I must say I had only two days to study for my toefl test. I studied some tips and strategies from ur videos. Those were very helpful. Thanks. Unfortunately, I felt disappointed to learn my L&R scores right away after the test. I got 15 on reading and 11 in my listening. I will get to know my Four-skills on 17th May. I would like to know if I could enroll in your course and that if I could take Toefl mock test once I enroll. You see, the point is, I haven't got enough practice at all before the test. I would like some help. I'm looking forward to hearing your reply. Thanks!

Hello Josh! I am newbie for toefl exam prep. Having a question for you. Will I be able to highlight or annotate (in the computer screen) the reading passages during toefl ibt exam in the test center?

[@TSTPrep]

Unfortunately, you can't highlight the text or take notes on the screen.

[@Salma-bc4cu]

I want your advice Which is better? To take the TOEFL test completely on paper or on computer? I feel the writing section typos could be avoided if I am writing on a paper not a keyboard. Plz don't refer me to my opinion or my point of view cause realllly IDK😢😅

[@eyad-al-ahmar]

Thank you for your handy tips! I would like to ask: Why do I have to use a whiteboard in Home Edition? What would be wrong with using paper and pencil?

[@TSTPrep]

For security purposes, you may not take notes on paper. - www.ets.org/toefl/test-takers/ibt/register/at-home-requirements.html#accordion-417d2893cc-item-acdaa51b1c

hey josh, I have my toefl exam in a few days and im very scared and nervous. I am having trouble in the speakign and reading section. In speaking i fumble a lot and i forget the words. And for reading, i just cannot focous enough on the passage. Do u have any tips for me as it will be very helpful for me.

[@TSTPrep]

Thanks very much for your question. I certainly understand your concerns.The first suggestion is to look through our articles and free resources, as that will answer many of your questions. tstprep.com/articles/ tstprep.com/free-resources/ If you still have concerns after that, perhaps consider meeting with a teacher for a trial lesson - tstprep.com/toefl-store/toefl-trial-lesson/

Hey! Thank you for this video! I`ve been preparing for TOEFL test for the last 7 months and i`ve done many mocking tests. But im so confused right now because i used to get like 28/30 in reading and listening sections, but this month im getting only 19-25:(( does anyone know what could cause it?...

[@TSTPrep]

Hi there and thank you for the question. First of all, I am sorry to hear about the difference in score, I am sure it is frustrating. The first step is to understand why you got the questions correct or incorrect, which is why all of our tests include an answer key. If you still don't understand the issue, you might want to ask a teacher or work with a teacher for private lessons or at least try a 30-minute trial lesson. Each individual student is different, so the reasons for your particular performance may require working with a teacher. - tstprep.com/store/toefl/

[@Legions1]

Do the emergency TOEFL course on Udemy and your free KZbin content cover the same material?

[@TSTPrep]

Most of the video lectures included in the Emergency course are new, never-before-published videos. However, since the course includes all the essential information about the TOEFL, there might be some overlap with the videos on KZbin.

[@lrcerri]

Oh My I failed reading 2x!

[@projjalghosh9251]

In the current version of the test, can we jump around and navigate between the questions?

[@TSTPrep]

Hi there and yes, you can jump around the questions and passages for the reading. However, this is only for the reading, for the other sections you have to go in order.

[@projjalghosh9251]

@@TSTPrep Okay. Thanks a lot for the info. 🙂

[@AhmadAmini-n1e]

Sorry but should we read the question with its answers before reading the passage or just the questions itself?

[@TSTPrep]

Great question. YES, always check the answers first, so you know what you need to check in the paragraph.

[@erikmansillavalle2510]

Hello TOEFL takers! I have an unusual question but I hope someone could answer it😅 I have heard that taking the TOEFL exam in a test center can be challenging due to the noisy environment. My question is: It is possible to bring ear plugs? Ear plugs would improve my focus on the exam, especially in the reading section. Thank you in advance for the feedback and good luck to everyone on their exams!
