You just need to be confident enough and try completing the writing part within 11-12 mins so that you can give remaining time to grammar and spell checks

By the way, from my experience, I believe that this channel is the most useful and helpful channel I found. I regret that I didn't watch every single video about this channel before.

I don't remember using advanced vocabulary during my speaking section. Writing section is where I think you should be using good vocabulary. Reading and listening are easy sections, just practice those sections every now and then by giving tests. I used bestmytest app to practice questions. It is a great app with plenty of questions but won't recommend it if you are looking for lessons.

I am not a professional trainer, brother. I don't know your competency in the English language as well. But I can tell that it's easy to score 90 with practice. You need to evaluate yourself first to know your weaknesses as most of us find it difficult to speak and write. So, for speaking, it needs confidence and practice, and for writing, it needs only writing in a structured way and practice. It's a lot easy as compared to what is portrayed. I hope and pray you will get a higher score.

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 because word count is part of your score. You should aim to say 120 words in 45 seconds. That’s OK if you have 10-20 words less, that may affect your score.

How is my speaking score affected if I get cut off while saying the last 1-3 words?

@TSTPrep 9 ай бұрын

There are many factors that account for your score in the TOEFL Speaking. If you finish earlier, in 30-40 seconds, it may affect your score. If you speak after the 45-second mark, the recording stops, the evaluator won't hear the last part and your response may sound incomplete. However, this is a small consideration. The most important thing is that you sound natural and comfortable when you speak while also answering the question.

@@TSTPrep Thank you and what do you think is the realistic toefl score that's equivalent to my 26 on Elsa?

@TSTPrep 7 ай бұрын

@@sait_koca A very good question. A 26 on Elsa likely means you are doing many things well, especially having enough words. What Elsa can't tell you is how good your ideas are. If, for example, your reason does not answer the question being asked, or if your example doesn't fit your reason, Elsa will likely not be able to score it correctly. Also, people tend to be more nervous during the real test and that can change their performance. So a 26 on Elsa means you are likely in a range of 20-30.

If I give an answer with mixed feelings, how much am I likely to score?

@inmaomg6388 9 ай бұрын

Don’t give a mixed feeling answer. Decide on if your for or against the topic, even if its not your true opinion. Make your point very clear and then give an explanation or examples

@TSTPrep 9 ай бұрын

Your score depends on many factors. Typically trying to take both sides of the issue will lead to a much lower score. Remember, it is asking you to choose one, not both. Also, when people try and argue both sides, they tend to repeat many words, which is one of the reasons such responses score lower. In short, argue just one side. :)

@@muhammadhasnain242 Thanks! This is how I prepared and took the test. 1. I created an excel sheet for template of each task. Copied the template from GregMat and TSTPrep. Modified it using ChatGPT and then gave my personal touch (v Imp). 2. Did not have any strategies for Reading and Listening. Just familiarised myself with each question type. Practiced section by section. A few things that you might face during the exam - 1. You will be able to hear the voice from your neighbour's headphone, annoying. 2. You will be distracted by other people speaking. A few tips from myside - 1. You will have a hard time focusing. To prepare for this I put on PTE Test centre noise videos on KZfaq while practicing. Maybe it might help. 2. Keeping a defined format that is customized by you and not generic for writing sections surely helps a lot. 3. I did not fully complete one of the speaking task, yet got a 29. So dont get discouraged. Have a bit of pace with intonation, I dont think its something you learn overnight though. 4. Results of TOEFL Go are pretty accurate. Dont panic, take a deep breath before starting the Speaking Section and the exam will finish even before you realize. All the best!
