"What should I do to prepare to take the TOEFL iBT?" asked one of my students. My answer to this student lies in the following questions:
Can you comfortable understand academic conversations and lectures?
Are you able to catch the main idea and critical supporting points of these passages?
Do you regularly practice note-taking while listening to the academic conversations and lectures?
Do you use advanced grammar structures with a high degree of accuracy?
Are you regularly reading (about 45 minutes a day)?
Do you catch the main ideas and critical supporting points of academic reading passages?
Can you read at a speed of 200 + words per minute with a 60-80% comprehension?
Are you able to concentrate on a reading passages with few distractions?
Can you accurately summarize an academic reading passage without plagiarizing it?
Do you comfortably use the context of the sentence when encountering unfamiliar vocabulary words in reading passages?
Do you write organized essays based on personal experiences, readings, and lectures?
Do you regularly converse with native English speakers or fluent non-native English speakers?
Are you able to accurately and coherently summarize general reading and listening passages without plagiarizing them?
Do you speak 100-150 words a minute or more with clear pronunciation, especially in regards to word stress, intonation, and thought groups and blending?
If you can answer yes to most of these questions, then you are ready to take the TOEFL iBT Exam. Good luck! - 16955
