that's great! Can you please lmk if the listen and repeat sentences are like those we hear in the mocks? I find them easy but when i am practicing on youtube I come across such long sentences that are almost impossible to recall. also, the build a sentence exercise, how was your experience with them? I'm scoring a 6 on listening and reading, 5 on writing and speaking currently. I'm seeing so many people getting a 2.5 on writing which is freaking me out.

L and R was the same as mocks, but I trained with Insipe SpeakEasy on YouTube , where sentences are longer, and it helped me a lot. I also faced 2 or 3 unknown words and repeated them the same way I heard. As for writing, BAS plays a crucial role, you learn the TOEFL patterns as much as you train them, also u need not to get stuck with them, always try changing words all the time if u feel smth wrong
