[@nomunnomuka2925]

With your help, I was able to score 107! I prepared for the TOEFL on my own and your videos helped me a lot. Thank you for making these videos and keep up the good work :)

[@Toeflresources]

Great job! What's next for you?

[@englishlearnervlog2622]

How many days did you take to prepare yourself?

You're very welcome!

[@chrisramos224]

[@Toeflresources]

I am so happy to have helped a bit.

[@sonambarsainya3747]

Thanks for this video. I'll be having my exams on February 29th, and I am looking forward to getting more videos.

[@Toeflresources]

Good luck! I will try to upload a couple more before your big day.

[@ddamyan1263]

Sonam Barsainya Good luck!

[@josuenietopineda]

I took the test today. I didn't go as I expected, I struggled with the speaking section because I couldn't concentrate and I got nervous. I feelt so disappointed. I'll just wait for the results. I'll let you know my official results as soon as I receive them. In the reading I got 22 and in the listening section 25. But I want to say thank you Michael you're templates helped me a lot in the writing section.

[@Toeflresources]

I'm happy to have helped a bit. Let me know when the results come in.

[@josuenietopineda]

I have the result. Overall I got 90, but sadly I needed 23 in writing and I got 22. Can you believe it? Just one point. I'm going to take the test again, but before that I'll look for help. I'm thinking about your essay evaluations. How many do I have to buy? I'm asking because I'm no sure how your service exactly works.

[@Toeflresources]

@@josuenietopineda Well, for all of the details about the evaluation program check out this page - www.toeflresources.com/writing-section/toefl-essay-evaluation-and-scoring/ Let me know if you have any questions after you have read it.

[@mohammedamer4959]

My First comment and first comment. I truly like your perspective of cracking the TOEFL

[@Toeflresources]

I truly like your comment!

[@MasiKarimi]

Really appreciate the info!

[@Toeflresources]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ehsanaskari]

Thank you for the great videos. I really found them helpful, but there are only two videos on reading on your channel. Could you make some more videos on this section?

[@Toeflresources]

I will make them eventually. But no one really watched the first two, so I have put them on the back burner.

[@malikahusainova701]

Hello !Thank you for all your videos, if it is possible, please continue making videos about all parts of the Toefl (Reading, Listenning, Writing and Speaking) Thank you in advance !

[@Toeflresources]

I will! Just make sure to check out the rest of the channel. There are already a bunch of videos!

[@zakiaahmady8639]

I have all the given resources. I took a test in August but messed up especially in listening. My next test is in mid-October. Scored R 20, L 11, S 27, W 20. Please guide which I should focus on too much to get 100+ within the time I have.

[@mi8468]

Great video!

[@Toeflresources]

Thanks!

[@devendrachalise3920]

Thank you for this video. Could you make a video on the listening section?

[@Toeflresources]

I totally will. But I plan to finish all my reading videos first, so you might have to wait a bit. :(

[@serhancofamilychannel121]

IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL

[@Toeflresources]

Everything is beautiful.

[@radiaspro4582]

Michael: "IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE ALL 18 OF THESE (PRACTISE SETS) YOU ARE NOT READY." Me: **send help**...

[@Toeflresources]

Ha ha. Maybe 17 sets is enough. Don't worry!

[@radiaspro4582]

@@Toeflresources In fact I don't, at least not anymore. I practised with three reading sets and got a solid 27 in the reading section. By the way: I got 30 points in the writing section by slightly modifying your templates and using some fancy language, so thank you very much for your videos! :)

[@Toeflresources]

@@radiaspro4582 Glad to hear it!

[@radiaspro4582]

@Cole Lucca I guess people that do such things deserve to be scammed by you...

[@radiaspro4582]

@Jimmy Millerd And why would you do that?

[@zhk6819]

Everyone seem to have exam on 29, while mine is on 28. :d Right now I am preparing to it and have identified some patterns. I make mistakes with the same type of questions - summarization and vocabulary, and my aim is 28-30...

[@Toeflresources]

Yeah. My advice would be not to waste TOO much time on vocabulary questions. Most of the time you will either know them or not. If you can't figure them out in 30 or 45 seconds it MIGHT be best just to take a guess and move on.

[@abdullahalkhateebdds2794]

mine is on 28th too , hope we can ace this test

[@manoochehrghanbari822]

Great thank u

[@Toeflresources]

You're welcome!

[@tanazrahman1548]

I did really bad in my reading section and speaking section. I scored 15 in reading and 15 in speaking section. I will give toefl exam in 20 March again and i have to score atleast 94. I can't delay my toefl exam bcz i have an excellent offer for my higher study. Plz suggest how can i increase my ability?

[@Toeflresources]

Well, you can find my stuff over here: www.toeflresources.com/speaking-section/

[@anatoliusbuberwa6510]

Do you have a video or notes about the TOEFL Listening section? I really like your channel. All away from Tanzania

[@Toeflresources]

Sadly, I don't. :(

[@jeffy4067]

Plz release next episode, I'm taking exam on 29th February

[@Toeflresources]

I'll try!

[@kawsarhamid461]

is their any link available for the recommended test?

[@sehrishfazwani5406]

Hi Micheal! Thank you for making amazing and helpful videos. Can you tell me why F is correct in Q10 (summary question of sample article)?

[@Toeflresources]

Well, that represents all of paragraph 6, which makes it a fairly major point. The others are far smaller supporting details.

[@alimehraban9379]

Thanks a lot for your useful and conquer tips. there is any change for the writing section?

[@Toeflresources]

No.

[@vahesukiasyan8335]

Can anyone help me ? I have a problems with ideas about this essay. (Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer)

[@mohomarbaraki9000]

Do you suggest using TOEFl Tpo's for practicing? Btw, thank you for the videos and all of the resources in your amazing website.

[@Toeflresources]

Yes, absolutely!

[@AnweshAdhikari]

Hello, I have got a question! I hope you'll answer it! Let us consider, I got 3 passages in the exam and a total time of 54 minutes! If I solve the first 10 questions in 10 minutes, will my remaining time be added up for the next passage or the timer will start counting the next fresh 18 minutes?

[@Toeflresources]

The time will be added to what is given for the rest of the reading section. Basically, there is a clock ticking down. You can use the time however you like.

[@AnweshAdhikari]

@@Toeflresources So, This means the timer starts counting down a total of 54 minutes rather than individual 18 minutes right?

[@Toeflresources]

@@AnweshAdhikari Right. Unless they change it in the future!

[@persona6866]

are there still 10 questions per passage? I heard some changes happened. Please give me information. I will have my test very soon and I prepare by myself and of course with the help of your videos))

[@Toeflresources]

Yes. Ten questions per passage most of the time. Sometimes nine.

[@iwanmaister]

When it comes to "Fill in a Table (0-1) - 3 points" , the "TOEFL iBT Test Prep Planner 2019" describes it slightly differently: "The category chart question are worth up 3 points if there are 5 options presented, and up to 4 points if there are 7 options presented". Moreover I'm not sure if "Fill in the table" type question is exactly the same as "Category chart" type question, or maybe this is completely new one ? I've just started to preparing to the Reading section, so I'm bit confused. I haven't met either "Fill in the table" or "Category chart" question yet. As for " 2 points or more" questions, till now, I've only been dealing with Summary questions, so maybe I mixed up something.

[@Toeflresources]

"Fill in a table" is the same as "category chart." They are very rare, though. Actually they had totally disappeared for about four years, before being used on one or two tests in late 2019. Almost everyone has reported only getting "summary" questions. Moreover, there aren't very many "fill in a table" questions in the official prep material. I believe that if they appear nowadays they will only be worth three points. But as I said in the video there could be something different from what I've described. Does that help?

Mr.Machael what do you think about using TPO 1-52, instead of Official IBt practice test?

[@Toeflresources]

They are fine.

As many as possible. I can't really answer your question since I don't know anything about you... but please prepare as much as you can. Don't waste time. :)
