Top tips for TOEFL

Reading and Listening

· Get used to the computer-based test, especially the 10 question types for reading and listening.

Use TEDtalks for listening practice. TED.com is a great resource for three reasons:

· It’s got lots, and lots of materials.

· It’s free.

· There’s an interactive transcript.

These three reasons make it the single best resource for leaning in English on the Internet.

Speaking

· Practice audio-recording your speaking with the strict time limit.

· And learn to maximize the time in speaking.

Writing

· Practice writing essays that follow the standard format for each type of writing.

· And learn to touch-type so that you can write faster on the laptop, and thereby write a long and more accurate essay.

Grammar

· For higher scores in writing and speaking, learn how to use complex sentence structures including dependent clauses, adjective clauses, and prepositional phrases.

· Learn how to show the connections between your ideas by using linking and reference words.

Sleep quality and well-being

· Understand that anxiety is normal when taking tests.

· Sleep well every night of the week before your test.

· This will be easier if you make time for 30-minutes of intense exercise every day.
