TOEFL Experience. Part III

Hello, everybody! I'm really glad you're still here :) Today I'm going to talk about the unofficial websites for complex (all sections) TOEFL preparation.

TST prep

Their Emergency Course (premium package) was my first purchase on my way to a pretty good TOEFL score. However, unfortunately, it is not the last or the best. Let me explain. Among the benefits I can name:

Structured and short information about all the content of the TOEFL test (paid, however, can be found in their YouTube videos for free);

Templates for speaking and writing sections for basic and advanced levels;

Practice tests with answers and their explanations (some of them in open access on YouTube in old videos);

Comprehensible design of the website and cool colors;

Examples of Q1 for the speaking section (for free);

Newsletters with special hacks and news from ETS (for free)

Josh's charisma (can be found everywhere :)). However, if you use this website with the materials from their YouTube channel, you will quickly realize that you've wasted your money. First, throughout all the videos, Josh McPhearson repeats that it's OK to pass the same test more than one time after, for example, two weeks. And that was a trap! I passed approximately two or three tests (in sum from the website and from the YouTube channel), trained some specific types of questions from reading and listening in the separate section on their website, and then I simply couldn't find the completely unfamiliar test, despite the fact that I was promised to have 6 complete practice tests in my package. So, the limited number of practice tests was an outrageous fact for me because it seemed like some of them were open-access on YouTube. Moreover, I think that this emergency course in general doesn't give you much more information about the test than their YouTube videos. So, basically, I paid mostly for templates, and that wasn't a rational decision, even if a 50% discount was taken into account. Don't be enchanted and blinded like me; use only their free materials. I didn't try their group classes and evaluations, but Emergency Course is 100% not worth your time and money.

2. Best My Test

Since I needed more practice and more tests, I started to search for other complex solutions where I could train all the TOEFL sections. I found this website, and after reading some articles about it, I began a free trial. It gives you an opportunity to pass the sample test, which is a shortened version of an actual test. After trying it, I was on cloud nine because it was exactly the thing that I was looking for.

First and foremost, the experience is not the same but really similar to the official TOEFL test. You can see the instructions, the buttons, the interface for recording your voice, the way the text in reading and questions to it are placed, the writing interface, which is also close to reality, and the most important is the timer. That was the core reason why I decided to pay for this.

Another benefit is, obviously, the availability of a huge number of practice tests with recorded statistics of your success in every section and question type (for reading and listening).

The theoretical materials are also included. It is especially useful when you see that some type of question is your weakness based on the statistics of your success. You catch it, jump into the corresponding lesson, learn some strategies, and train.

Templates and explanations for speaking and writing can be found. Moreover, the evaluations of your speaking and writing by humans and AI are included in the Custom and Premium packages. From my own experience, AI evaluations are pretty accurate, as they rated my speaking at 21 points and I gained 22. And writing reviews from experts was also full of insights and powerful advice. +/- There are also vocabulary and grammar materials, but I didn't have much time, so for me, these materials were uneffective. And finally, maybe for some readers, the textual form of theoretical material will not be comfortable, so I consider this aspect of Best My Test a disadvantage. However, they already made videos for certain lessons. Overall, Best My Test was a treasure for me, without any doubt. I regret that I found it too late (it was 2 weeks before my exam).

As you can see, these websites cause lots of strong feelings in me; however, I appreciate both of them because I have learned not only how to take TOEFL but also have seen a real picture of our world. The beautiful, loud, and charismatic is often empty. And the real treasure is often much cheaper and kept silent. Stay tunned :)

How to Prepare for TOEFL at Home

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is a key requirement for non-native speakers who want to study, work, or live in English-speaking countries. While the TOEFL may seem daunting at first, the good news is that you can successfully prepare for the exam from the comfort of your own home. With a structured study plan, the right resources, and smart strategies, you can achieve your target score and boost your chances of success. In this guide, we will explore how to prepare for TOEFL at home step-by-step.

Understanding the TOEFL Structure

Before diving into preparation, it's important to familiarize yourself with the TOEFL format. The test is divided into four sections, each designed to assess different language skills:

Reading: You'll have 3-4 passages from academic texts, followed by questions testing comprehension.

Listening: This section includes lectures, classroom discussions, and conversations, followed by related questions.

Speaking: You'll be asked to express your opinion on familiar topics and respond to materials based on reading and listening prompts.

Writing: This consists of two tasks: one integrates listening and reading, and the other is an independent essay.

Step 1: Set Clear Goals and a Study Plan

Start by determining your target TOEFL score. This depends on the institution or program you're applying to, as different universities or organizations have different score requirements.

Once you know your goal, create a study plan that suits your schedule. For most test-takers, 2-3 months of consistent preparation is ideal. Allocate specific days for each section of the test (Reading, Listening, Speaking, Writing) and set aside at least 1-2 hours of study time daily.

If you’re balancing work or school, make sure your study plan is realistic. Quality is more important than quantity when it comes to TOEFL preparation.

Step 2: Gather Study Materials

You don’t need to spend a fortune on TOEFL preparation materials, but having access to a few key resources will greatly enhance your study routine. Here are some essentials:

Official TOEFL iBT Test Prep Books: These books, such as the "Official Guide to the TOEFL Test" from ETS, offer authentic practice tests and explanations of answers.

Online Platforms and Apps: Websites like ETS.org provide free sample questions and tests. Apps such as Magoosh TOEFL, Testden, and TOEFL Go! also offer flexible study options.

YouTube Channels: There are plenty of free YouTube channels like "TST Prep" and "Noteful" that offer expert guidance on TOEFL strategies.

Step 3: Build Your Vocabulary

A strong vocabulary is essential for success in TOEFL, especially for the reading and writing sections. While it’s important to know academic words, don't just focus on memorizing long word lists. Instead:

Read Actively: Spend time reading academic articles, newspapers, and books in English. This will expose you to new vocabulary in context and improve your reading speed.

Use Flashcards: Apps like Anki or Quizlet allow you to create digital flashcards and review them daily. This method helps in retaining new words effectively.

Write It Down: Create a personal vocabulary journal. Every time you encounter a new word, write it down, along with its meaning and an example sentence. Review this regularly.

Step 4: Practice Each Section of the TOEFL

Reading Section:

Time Management: You’ll have 54-72 minutes to complete the reading section. Practice reading for both speed and comprehension.

Skim and Scan: Don’t try to read every word in the passage. Instead, skim through for the main ideas and scan for specific details when answering questions.

Take Notes: Note-taking is crucial during TOEFL. Jot down key points, especially when dealing with longer passages.

Listening Section:

Listen to a Variety of English: Since TOEFL listening tests your ability to understand different accents, listen to podcasts, TED Talks, news broadcasts, and academic lectures.

Take Practice Tests: Get accustomed to the type of questions you’ll face. Practice listening to a recording and answering questions immediately after to simulate the test environment.

Take Notes While Listening: Write down key points, transitions, and conclusions as you listen to audio clips. This will help you recall important information when answering questions.

Speaking Section:

Record Yourself: Speaking into a microphone can feel unnatural at first, but recording yourself during practice can help you evaluate your fluency, pronunciation, and coherence. Review the recordings and make note of areas that need improvement.

Practice Integrated Speaking: The integrated tasks require you to read and listen to a passage before responding. Practice by summarizing the key points of different texts and audio clips.

Focus on Clarity: You don’t need to sound like a native speaker to score well. Focus on speaking clearly and coherently, ensuring that your answer is well-organized.

Writing Section:

Practice Essays: The independent task asks you to write a personal opinion on a specific topic. Practice brainstorming ideas quickly, organizing them logically, and writing coherent paragraphs within a 30-minute time limit.

Integrated Writing: For the integrated task, practice summarizing both written and spoken information. You need to show how the information in the reading passage relates to the lecture, whether it supports or contradicts it.

Step 5: Take Full-Length Practice Tests

Taking full-length TOEFL practice tests is one of the most effective ways to prepare. These tests simulate the actual test environment and will help you get used to the time constraints. After each test, review your mistakes carefully to identify which areas need improvement.

Start by taking one test at the beginning of your preparation to evaluate your current level, then periodically take more tests to track your progress.

Step 6: Focus on Weak Areas

Throughout your preparation, make sure to focus on the areas that need the most improvement. If you're struggling with the speaking section, spend extra time practicing your spoken English. If your reading comprehension is weak, spend more time reading academic materials and answering related questions.

Use online forums or study groups to discuss difficult questions or tasks. There are many TOEFL communities on Reddit, Facebook, and other platforms where you can share tips and seek advice.

Step 7: Practice Consistently

Consistency is key when preparing for TOEFL. Even if you’re short on time, try to engage with the English language every day. Whether you’re reading an article, watching a YouTube video, or practicing your speaking skills, daily exposure will improve your confidence and fluency.

Step 8: Stay Relaxed and Confident

On test day, it’s essential to stay calm and confident. You’ve put in the hard work and practice, so trust your preparation. Be sure to get a good night’s sleep before the exam and arrive at the testing center early.

How to score an A in OET Speaking!

After sharing our tips on OET Writing, we now have some OET Speaking tips. If you want to get an A (or B) on the OET speaking sub-test then you need to know what the examiners are listening to when you speak. Your OET results will depend on how well you include the following criteria into the way you speak.

OET Speaking Tips 1 – Start the conversation

A lot of candidates make the mistake of thinking that the OET speaking sub-test is an examination and not a medical situation. As such they wait for the OET person (the patient) to do the talking. Imagine that you are in a professional setting and you are the nurse, doctor or dentist. You are in control. The OET without exam person is the patient – not the OET person.

As such, it’s up to you to start the conversation.

Here’s an OET sample for nurses:

“Hello, my name is Jane and I’m the community nurse. Can I start with your name?”

Don’t sit there and make the patient start the conversation. It’s up to you.

OET Speaking Tips 2 –  Keep the conversation moving

It’s also up to you to maintain the conversation. If the conversation stops and silence happens you need to bring it back to life.

Here’s a sample:

“So, please tell me a little bit more about your situation.”

Or,

“Is there anything that you would like to add?”

OET Speaking Tips 3 – Ask questions to get the patient to talk

If the patient is reluctant to speak, you will need to ask questions that force him to speak.

Consider the following two questions. Which one will get the conversation moving?

Do you feel sore?

Can you describe the pain to me?

Question A would give you a Yes or a NO answer.

You need to think of questions that will get the patient to talk – to open up and tell you more.

OET Speaking Tips 4 – Listen to the patient

Although the OET speaking sub-test is a test of your speaking ability, it is as much a test of your listening ability. In order to “reply” you need to understand what the patient says.

Perhaps more importantly, you need to “listen” in terms of hearing what the person has to say. Don’t just concentrate on your performance, concentrate on communication. You need to respond appropriately to what the patient says – even if you are nervous. Get TOEFL certificate

What’s interesting is that the more that you concentrate on communication through listening, the less nervous you will be. When you focus on yourself – on your performance – the more nervous you will get.

OET Speaking Tips 5 – Adjust your language

Depending on who you are speaking to, you need to adjust your language to suit the scenario.

Think about this:

You are talking to a depressed 87-year-old man.

You are talking to an aggressive 18-year-old man.

How would your language change? How would the words and intonation change?

OET Speaking Tips 6 – Unexpected turns…

Every now and then the OET person will test you by asking you something a little odd. He or she wants to see how well you respond – how flexible you are in your thinking and language.

For example, “What’s the phone number of the occupational therapist?”

What do you do? Do you laugh? No. You give a phone number, or you say:

“I will give you the number after our consultation.”

OET Speaking Tips 7 – Organise the role play

If you really want an A you will have to organise the role play into clear stages with an introduction, body and conclusion.

In the introduction, you introduce yourself, welcome the patient and summarise the scenario.

In the body, you move through the tasks, one-by-one. Order for a celpip certificate.

In the conclusion, if you have time, you should summarize the role play by saying:

“Ok, so we have discussed the use of X and although I understand your concerns, I think it’s the best thing to do.”

The key to OET speaking

Although you can read ABOUT the OET all day long, when it comes to success it’s all about OET preparation. You need to prepare for the OET. You do need to be careful of the OET material for nurses that is available online and for sale on Gumtree and other classifieds. Sometimes it can be very different from the actual OET. You need to make sure that the OET materials that you use are similar to the actual OET test. At E2Language, we use OET materials that are identical to the actual OET so you can be sure that your OET preparation is effective.

An OET preparation course is a good idea, but again, you need to choose carefully. Many teachers don’t really understand the OET. While they may be able to give you an OET sample test for nurses, do they really know how to teach it? A good OET teacher is very rare because it is an uncommon test.

If you want to get optimal results then check out our OET preparation course because we are OET experts. We are the OET’s only authorised partner. We specialise in getting OET candidates the OET results that they need and we do it FAST.

Overcoming Common Challenges in the Duolingo English Test: A Student’s Guide

The Duolingo English Test is becoming a popular choice for students who want to show their English proficiency, especially for university admissions. It offers a flexible and convenient alternative to traditional tests like the TOEFL and IELTS. However, students often face several challenges when preparing for and taking the Duolingo exam. Let’s explore these challenges and how you can overcome them.

1. Understanding the Test Format

One major challenge is getting used to the test format. Unlike more established exams, the Duolingo English Test is relatively new and computer-based. It includes a mix of question types, such as listening, reading, writing, and speaking. If you're used to paper-based tests, adapting to this format might be tough.

Tip: Start by reviewing the official Duolingo practice materials. Taking sample tests will help you become familiar with the question types and the test structure. This preparation will make you more comfortable on test day.

2. Managing Test Anxiety

Test anxiety can impact your performance. The Duolingo exam is taken online and usually completed in one sitting. This pressure, combined with no break time, can increase stress levels.

Tip: Use mindfulness and relaxation techniques to manage anxiety. Practice mock tests in an environment similar to the actual test setting. This will help build your confidence and reduce stress.

3. Technical Issues

Technical problems can be a concern since the Duolingo exam is conducted online. Issues with internet connectivity, computer malfunctions, or testing software can disrupt your test-taking experience.

Tip: Ensure you have a stable internet connection and a reliable computer. Follow Duolingo’s technical requirements and guidelines carefully to avoid any disruptions during the test.

4. Adapting to Unconventional Question Types

The Duolingo test includes some unconventional question types, such as responding to random prompts or interpreting audio clips. These might be different from what you’re used to in other English proficiency tests.

Tip: Practice with Duolingo’s official materials to get used to these question types. Spend time interpreting audio and responding to varied prompts to become familiar with the test's unique elements.

5. Time Management

Despite being shorter than some other exams, the Duolingo English Test still requires good time management. You need to answer a variety of questions quickly and accurately.

Tip: Develop a time management strategy during your practice sessions. Learn to pace yourself so you can complete all sections within the allotted time without feeling rushed.

6. Ensuring Test Security and Integrity

Duolingo uses AI to monitor test-takers, which can raise concerns about test security and integrity. Students might worry about being assessed accurately and avoiding issues with the AI system.

Tip: Follow all test instructions closely and ensure your testing environment meets Duolingo’s requirements. This will help maintain test integrity and ensure a smooth experience.

7. Navigating University Requirements

Different universities have different requirements for the Duolingo English Test, such as score thresholds and acceptance criteria. Understanding and meeting these requirements can be challenging, especially if you're applying to multiple institutions.

Tip: Check each university’s specific requirements for the Duolingo exam. Consult with an overseas education consultant if needed. They can guide you through the application process and help you understand what each institution expects.

Conclusion

While the Duolingo English Test offers flexibility and convenience, it comes with its own set of challenges. Understanding the test format, managing anxiety, and handling technical issues are key areas to focus on. With thorough preparation, practice, and adherence to guidelines, you can overcome these challenges and perform well. If you need additional support, an overseas education consultant can provide valuable assistance in navigating both the test and the application process.
