I'm going to attend to the ibt exam tomorrow in a test center. I built up confidence and knowledge against toefl with tst prep's content on youtube solely. My goal is to score 21, 21, 21 and a 24 on writing, which is the minimum score to get into my dream university. I will come back to the comment section in a few days when my grade is announced, and if my grade is satisfactory to you, I strongly recommend you to spare only 2-3 days to watch as many videos of tst prep as you can because that's the only thing I did. Thank you very much Josh :) Greetings from Turkey ❤

Your videos are extremely systematic and well-explained. What I love most about you is that you give us a very realistic approach and don't set unnatural expectations. I also loved how you cheerfully clapped and encouraged us at the end of every exercise. This helped me gain confidence and overcome my fear. You're truly an amazing teacher. 'Thank you' would be an understatement. Hope all the good things in life come your way ❤

Josh, I have a question. At 05:27 The question says, "Using points and examples from the talk, explain two main theories to explain why aggression exists.” It does not ask us to define aggression and then explain the two theories. So, if we still define it, isn't it not answering the question and adding more information that's not being asked? Additionally, If we still do it, woudn't the human raters be able to identify it as being part of a template and then it might affect the score because ETS has cautioned several times against using templates. I thought the answer to this would start directly from theories because there is no need to define the concept. I am asking this to just as a clarification. This in no way is intended to demean the work you are doing here. Your lectures have been extremely helpful, and I have nothing but gratitude for you.

@TSTPrep 11 ай бұрын

Hi there and thank you for your questions. Of course, you can add a definition, that's totally fine. It would be strange to start your response without defining the topic. As for the templates, it has been confirmed multiple times by graders and ETS representatives that they DO NOT DEDUCT DUE TO TEMPLATES. They can tell from the rest of your response how well you speak. Just focus on sounding comfortable and natural.

I have a question regarding all the types of speaking tasks. In the real exam, do we get the computerized instruction, like start reading now, now listen to the lecture. If we get this computerized instruction in real exam, then I guess I'll get 3-4 seconds every time there is an instruction. For example - For the 2nd task. We get the instructions, now read the passage. The time alloted to read the passage is 45 seconds, but if I add the time for the computerized instruction then the total time is somewhat 50 seconds. So, Mr. MacPherson or any of my fellow mates who have already given the test. Please confirm this and clear my confusion.

Hey Josh! Thanks for the helpful video. I wanted to ask about the TOEFL GO app. Here's the thing: when I practice the academic discussion task on the ETS website, I sometimes end up getting 4 out of 5. However, when I practice the same question on the TOEFL GO app, I always get 5. I don't know which one is more reliable. What do you think?

@TSTPrep Жыл бұрын

I am not very familiar with the TOEFL Go. In general, though, you need to remember that any site or app where a real person is not checking your answer will never be as accurate as meeting with a teacher. This is because these apps will mostly grade your word count, spelling, grammar, and vocabulary, but it is hard for them to know if you are answering the question you have been asked correctly.

Speaking speed is a crucial component of your score. You have to speak at a good pace, but you don't have to speak too fast. However, there are many other important aspects of your response that are graded.

Hey Prof. Josh! Can you please guide me to resources for transitional phrases and words? Also, I am finding it difficult to paraphrase within the given time and at times I end up repeating the content due to the time pressure. Any suggestions/tips for the same?

@TSTPrep 11 ай бұрын

Hi there and yes, paraphrasing is definitely an important part of your score. I wouldn't say you have to "study" it because it would be a hard thing to work on, but yes you should avoid repeating too much of the same wording from the passages. As for transition words, here is the link to our Spekaing guide - drive.google.com/file/d/1SJLKY3cXT9KfrhMT0d7zlD86By-VR0EB/view

could you tell me please how many the required word count on task 4? thanks in advance

@TSTPrep 7 ай бұрын

Speaking speed is a crucial component of your score. You don't have to speak fast, but you have to speak at a good pace. You should aim to say 120 words. That’s ok if you have 10-20 words less, but if you have 20+ words less, that may be a problem. You need to increase your word count per response.

Can I pass Toelf test if I spend 2hr reading for 2 months.. And watching videos from this channel only

Well, it depends on a lot of factors, such as your current level of English, your goal score, etc. You can try a trial lesson with one of our teachers for more personalized assessment and guidance. tstprep.com/toefl-store/toefl-trial-lesson/.That will give you the clearest idea of where you are at.

Thank you for commenting. When it comes to reading, the best way to improve is to read. If you struggle a lot with the TOEFL Reading, I would suggest investing time in a site like LingQ where you can do some extensive reading that is not connected to the TOEFL, that way you can build your skills and vocabulary with text that is a little bit easier before moving ahead with the TOEFL. If you need to talk to a teacher, you could also try a trial lesson at this link and they can give you some pointers - tstprep.com/store/toefl-trial-lesson/
