Came here right after receiving my TOEFL scores, just to thank you for the wonderful resources you provide for free! I got a 119/120 (30 R 30 L 30 S 29 W). Your speaking templates are amazing, I was never confident in my speaking abilities until I came across this channel, your templates helped me a lot! You're a legend!

Hi Michel! Thank you so much! I was extremely worried for speaking part in TOEFL but your videos turned out to be of tremendous help. I scored a 28 in speaking and a 25 in writing! However, I was surprised to see a 21 in listening section. I had been scoring really well in listening practice tests and I thought I did well in actual test too. How do I find out my weak link in listening?

Thank you for this valuable video. I was wondering about paired choices whether we can choose one side and talk about other side, or are we allowed to talk about the drawbacks of the other side somewhere when we are talking about the plus points of our choice.

Tnx a lot for your useful TOEFL videos. I have a question about the test. I heard some people saying that the ETS volumes or/and ETS Official Guide book and CD's tests are easier than the main test which we take in test centers, is this right ? They say that ETS does this to attract students to take the test. Please answer this question, because I want to practice more. Thank you sir.
