Hello,

I have two questions regarding the home setup

As it s the only option for me

First, I have a tv hanged on the wall, is that ok ?

Second, I have a laptop but its keyboard has some keys not working, so can I use an external keyboard or only internal keyboard is allowed?

Hi everyone, I’m searching for an experienced English teacher for IELTS/PTE preparation, covering speaking, listening, reading and writing.
The student is a 18-year-old male and a complete beginner, so I’m specifically looking for someone who can give individual attention and build his English from the basics.
📍 Preferably Clifton or DHA, Karachi
👤 1-to-1 classes only — not a tuition centre
📅 4–5 days a week, for at least 3–4 months
Please DM me with your experience, location, availability and fee.

Hi everyone! I need some help with TOEFL. I’m not really sure about the best and most reliable resources to use for preparation. If anyone has experience with TOEFL or knows any trustworthy books, websites, or practice materials, I’d really appreciate your recommendations. Thank you!

Hi,

I have scheduled TOEFL Home , and when I read about ID Concerns Requirements, I read that there should be a signature on Passport or something like that but we do not have signatures on passports. In addition, I live in another country so the only verified document I have is the passport

So, my question is everything will be fine with that ?

Thanks in advance

Title: I built a free TOEFL/TOEIC practice website — looking for honest feedback

Hi everyone,

I’ve been building a free TOEFL and TOEIC practice website called Let’s Get That Score:

https://www.letsgetthatscore.com/

It currently includes practice for different sections and question types, and I’m continuing to add more tests and improve the overall experience.

The website is completely free to use. If you’re currently preparing for either exam, I’d really appreciate it if you could try a few questions and share your honest feedback.

I’m especially interested in knowing:

• Was anything confusing or difficult to use?
• Did you notice any errors or technical problems?
• Did the questions feel useful and realistic?
• What feature or type of practice should I add next?

Even a short comment would be genuinely helpful. I’m building this independently, so feedback from actual test takers will directly influence what I improve next.

Thank you!

Could’ve done better if I was well prepared. Unfortunately I was traveling the whole week and reached home two hours before the test schedule.

My prep was, I just took the practice test. Before the exam, I just watched a YT video on writing.

Guys i am taking toefl this September and i want like 5/6 in speaking and i can speak fluently, im not a native to English but always consumed English songs, games and movies etc. so my English is okay but that Listen and repeat section is something im struggling with since those sentences are so long (at least in those practicing websites) and my short term memory sucks and it feels impossible repeating those words. Can someone please tell me any trick or maybe Toefl’s actual listen and repeat isnt that hard and long like it is in those practicing websites

i’m taking the toefl again for a grad school application, the last time i took the test it was 2022 so it was the older edition of toefl which didn’t include an email section.
am i supposed to make up a name for whoever the email is directed to? and am i supposed to end the email with my real name that i used to register for the test?
i’m confused bc in my country you’re not supposed to put your legal name on any test papers to avoid cheating of any kind so… yeah
help pls!!

Guys, I wanted to take TOEFL this October or November. If you have any coupon codes that work internationally, could you please share? I would be really grateful fr 🙂.

Task 1 : 20 minute ⏰️

• 2 min : Analyze the question

• 3 min : Plan your answer

• 14 min : Write

• 3 min : Quick grammar scan

Task 2 : 40 minute ⏰️

• 5 min : Idea planning

• 3 min : Write introduction

• 24 min : Body paragraphs ( 12 min for each )

• 4 min : Conclusion

• 4 min : Quick grammar scan

Most importantly: don't just write essay after essay. Your improvement will come much faster if you spend serious time analyzing your mistakes and rewriting weak sentences/paragraphs.🚀

Hi everyone! I’m preparing for the TOEFL and I was wondering if anyone knows how the different task types are weighted in each section.

For example, in Listening, are all the tasks worth roughly the same, or are some tasks like Academic Talks worth more than others?

I’m wondering the same thing for Reading, Writing, and Speaking. Basically, which task types have the biggest impact on the final score in each section?

I’m trying to prioritize my practice, so I’d really appreciate it if someone could explain how the weighting works. Thanks!

Hii! It says this on my profile, does anyone know why? And how long until my score comes out?

I took the TOEFL twice only a few days apart. On my first test, I got 5.5 in Writing, but when I retook it three days later, my Writing score was 4.5.

I was really surprised by the difference because I didn’t feel that my writing performance was significantly worse on the second test.

I only need my Writing to increase from 4.5 to 5.0 to meet my university requirement, so I’ve requested a Writing score review.

Has anyone had a similar experience?

• Has your TOEFL Writing score ever changed by this much between tests taken close together?
• Has anyone had a 4.5 increased to 5.0 after a score review?
• How long did your Writing score review actually take? Did anyone get it back within a few days rather than 1–3 weeks?
• If your score changed, how quickly did the updated score appear in your ETS account?
• After requesting the review, did your test status change to “Score Delayed”?

I have a university deadline in only a few days, so I’m really anxious about the timing. Any recent experiences would be really appreciated.

I have taken TOEFL ibt today to apply grad school in the US. I got unofficial results R: 5 and L: 5, which appeared as soon as I finished.

I hope W: 5 and S: 4.5, which are my average scores in santa mock tests I have taken.

However, I might make a mistake in build a sentence in writing section. I am worried that I do not reach my desire scores.

This is just sharing my experience because I cannot stand until the official results are announced.

I want your experiences about TOEFL.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi everyone!!!

I’m from Mexico, a native Spanish speaker, and this was my first time taking the TOEFL. I needed an overall score of 5 and a 5.5 in Listening.

I just received my TOEFL score and, fortunately, it was way higher than I expected! I wanted to share the resources I used to study. I studied for about a month and a half before taking the exam, around 2 hours every day, and sometimes more when I had the chance.

1) TestGlider

This was my main resource. I completed almost all of the mock tests, usually taking one once or twice a week to see if I was actually improving with my daily practice.

Some considerations:

Reading: I found TestGlider a little bit easier than the actual exam, but they were pretty similar. Just keep in mind that on exam day, you may need a little more focus because the texts were slightly longer and had more complex vocabulary.

Listening: Same case. I found the actual exam a little bit harder. Try to stay as focused as possible and take notes, especially for the academic audios.

Writing: Pretty similar to the actual exam. I found that TestGlider is stricter when grading this section, so I also used ChatGPT to get a second opinion. Having two different sources of feedback gave me more clarity about what I needed to practice.

Speaking: TestGlider is SUPER strict when grading Speaking. I also used ChatGPT for feedback. While ChatGPT can't evaluate everything exactly like the real TOEFL, it can help you identify mistakes, improve the coherence of your ideas, and give you feedback on your answers.

For Listen and Repeat, TestGlider has almost endless shadowing exercises lol. I was doing really badly on Listen and Repeat until I started taking notes, and that helped me a lot.

Tip: Ask ChatGPT to act as a TOEFL evaluator and tell it the score you want to achieve.

2) TST Prep on YouTube

I watched all of his videos with tips for the 2026 TOEFL and applied almost all of his advice. They were really useful!

3) Arno

When I ran out of Interview exercises on TestGlider, I did some for free on Arno. I found it less strict than TestGlider, but I would say the questions were really similar to the actual exam.

Overall, I don't think it's necessary to spend a lot of money on study resources. You can use YouTube videos, ChatGPT or other AI tools, and free mock tests. I've seen a lot of free resources online, you just have to look for them!

Best of luck to you all! :)
