TOEFL Exam Preparation Checklist

There are many ways students can prepare for their TOEFL exam. Here are a few of particular importance:

• Listen. Students should listen to as much English as possible, in many different accents. The listening portions of the TOEFL test can be challenging, and there is no better way to prepare than by listening to podcasts, documentaries, lectures and radio programs in English.
• Speak. Joining a local group or club of people interested in conversational English is a great way to get better acquainted and more comfortable with the language. Ideally, at least one person in the group should be a native English speaker. Practicing reading out loud, listening to audiobooks, and making friends with native English speakers are all great ways to prepare for the test.
• Read. English textbooks, literature, magazines, and newspapers are an easy and inexpensive way to learn the language. Visit your local library and challenge yourself by taking out an English book that lies outside of your comfort zone. You’ll be surprised at how much your comprehension and grammar improves.
• Practice. Taking practice TOEFL tests prepares students in more ways than one. It teaches them what types of questions they should expect on the real test, how to properly manage their time while taking the exam, helps them familiarize themselves with the format of the exam, and provides in-depth answers to help learn from mistakes. Practice makes perfect.
• Prepare. On the day of the test, students will know exactly what to bring to be prepared. It will alleviate stress and help them focus on answering the questions to the best of their ability.
