How to Prepare for the TOEFL: 8 Expert Tips
1.
Read and Listen to
English News
One of the best ways to improve your English reading
and listening skills is to pay attention to the news. The news allows you to
improve your vocabulary, learn advanced English grammar, and listen to spoken
English at a natural, conversational pace.
2.
Converse With
Native English Speakers
Because there’s a speaking portion on the TOEFL,
you’ll need to ensure your speaking abilities are up to par. The best way to
practice speaking English is with native English speakers. Native English
speakers are people whose first language is English, regardless of the country
in which they grew up.
3.
Improve Your
Vocabulary
To excel at both English and the TOEFL, you’ll need to
master many tough vocabulary words. A large part of the TOEFL is knowing lots
and lots of English words, especially academic vocabulary, so it’s important
you know which words you’ll need to study for the TOEFL.
4.
Use a
Language-Learning App or Website
You can learn English even faster through
language-learning websites and apps. These resources track your progress and
give you key words and grammatical patterns to study.
One popular example is Duolingo, a free
language-learning website that’s also available as an app for iPhone and Android.
Duolingo uses an effective game-like atmosphere to teach foreign languages to
users. It’s mostly helpful for reviewing fundamental grammar patterns and
vocabulary words at the beginner and intermediate levels.
5.
Learn the TOEFL
Test Format
In order to do well on the TOEFL, you must understand
the structure of the test. In other words, you must know exactly what to expect
on test day, from what kinds of sections you’ll face to how many questions
you’ll need to answer within a certain amount of time.
Here is a quick
overview of the structure of the TOEFL:
6.
Use Official
Practice Questions
Another tip is to use official TOEFL practice
questions (both stand-alone questions and those included in official
full-length practice tests). But why official questions? As it stands, official
practice questions are the closest you can get to real TOEFL questions in terms
of form, content, and difficulty. Moreover, many ETS resources use questions
from TOEFLs that were actually administered in the past. So in regard to quality,
nothing beats official TOEFL questions!
7.
Carefully Analyze
Your Mistakes
You should also spend some time analyzing the mistakes
you make on practice questions. Determining where you went wrong on TOEFL
practice questions can help you avoid making these same mistakes on the actual
test.
Here’s what you need to do: if you select an incorrect
answer to a question, don’t simply read the answer explanation and move on.
Instead, use the correct answer choice to guide your thinking. For example, on
the Reading and Listening sections, reread the passage or listen to the audio
clip again to help you pinpoint new pieces of evidence you might’ve missed
before. Continue to do this until you’re eventually able to understand why your
original answer choice was incorrect — and why the correct answer choice is
correct.
Repeat this process for all questions you answer
incorrectly during your TOEFL studies. Over time, you should begin to be able
to identify patterns and figure out more rapidly why certain answer choices are
correct or incorrect.
8.
Target Your
Weaknesses
Weaknesses will bring down your score on test day, so
it’s important you find and strengthen your biggest weaknesses. In the end,
targeting your weak points should help you feel more confident on test day and improve
your chance of getting the TOEFL score you want.
To determine your weaknesses, think about which areas
of the TOEFL are most difficult for you. If you’ve taken TOEFL practice tests
before, find the sections with your lowest scores. For example, do you
consistently struggle to recognize vocabulary words in the readings? Are you
having trouble understanding recorded lectures and conversations? Do you always
seem to run out of time during the Writing section?
Once you’ve pinpointed your weak spots, make an effort
to dedicate more study time to improving these skills.
