I once did a listening where it stated names of 9 artists as examples for different subtopics. And then a question came up where i had to connect subtopics to those names. So I believe, sometimes names and years can be important, so at least note the initials like if it says Van Gogh, Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci, you can note that as "VG, M, LDV" so that you don't get those mixed up when the question comes up.

@tomaty3437 3 жыл бұрын

@@tugcesabanci8681 For the reading section, make sure you have enough time to review your answers. I typically leave about 15-20min for review/checking For listening, jot down the important information in a coherent way so that you don't get confused when using them to answer the questions. I used to scribble everywhere so my notes didn't help me lol For Speaking, use the speaking templates because your score won't get deducted. Also try to speak continuously, but avoid repetition. For Writing, you should refrain from using templates. Use transition words, and pay attention to the structure.

Do I have to take notes about numbers? like years??

@TSTPrep Жыл бұрын

It depends on whether or not you think it will be important. However, I usually do it out of habit. In general, on the TOEFL, they ask more about ideas than actual specific dates, so they probably will not ask you to recall an exact number.

Hello everyone , in the TOEFL IBT version , how we are supposed to take notes Thanks for the videos

@TSTPrep 2 жыл бұрын

When you take the TOEFL iBT in a test center, you get a pencil and a piece of scrap paper. You can´t take notes on your screen. If you are taking the TOEFL iBT Home Edition, you should use a small desktop whiteboard ( or a sheet of paper inside a transparent protector,) with an erasable marker, no pencil or pen.

can I take the Toefl test when I'm under age?

@TSTPrep Жыл бұрын

I am pretty sure anyone over the age of 12 can take the TOEFL test. I would just double-check at ETS' official website - www.ets.org/toefl

I've experienced both ways: taking notes/ not taking notes But in both ways my score was stick to 24. why is the problem?

You would have to work with a teacher to get a more specific answer, but everyone has strengths and weaknesses. It looks like you need to work on improving your general comprehension first. This is just a guess, though. You might want to meet with one of our tutors for more specific advice - tstprep.com/toefl-store/toefl-trial-lesson

I don't understand anything about the lectures, what should I do Josh, I have 25 days to take the exam.

@TSTPrep 24 күн бұрын

Hi there and thank you for commenting. Students at lower levels of proficiency should work on the basics of English first. If you don't understand academic passages, you probably should not take the test now. Instead, you should invest your time and money in improving your English level first before moving ahead with the TOEFL.

no notetaking for listening, fine, but in speaking, and writing, no notetaking? well, that's not hard to imagine what will happen.

@TSTPrep 29 күн бұрын

I am not sure I understand your question. Could you clarify what you mean by 'no notetaking'? Just to let you know, you can take notes whenever you like. The only exception is at the beginning of a section when they are reading directions.

@@TSTPrep I am so sorry, I might have used the inappropriate phrases causing misunderstanding. what I mean is " without notetaking". I mean test takers have to take notes if they want to get a high score in speaking and writing section given these two sections' differences from listening section. In listening section, well, students can get a high score without taking notes while this might not work in writing and speaking because our memory is temporary and inaccurate, leading to a potential information omission, which is fatal for output in speaking and writing section.
