The app is free to download with in-app purchases available. Familiarize yourself with each test section by reviewing Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing sample questions. The Practice Sets include information, answers, explanations, scoring guides and tips for answering the question types. Often library branches will make material available for lending to patrons of other branches. The primary site to check is the ETS site. These materials are essential because they come from the people who create the test.
You can use them to assess your strengths and weaknesses, familiarize yourself with the test, and practice taking the text at home. In addition to ETS, there are many other sites that offer vocabulary lists, sample topics and prompts, test questions, and practice tests. Here are some to try:.
Some of the things you can find there include vocabulary lists, vocabulary flash cards, sample text questions, and TOEFL study guides. Open Culture is a website that has a selection of free academic podcasts available to stream. Quizlet is a vocabulary improvement website. This website is great for any TOEFL student to use, especially for those who can be considered visual and auditory learners. Nonstopenglish is another site that is aimed at improving vocabulary, but it also has a very good section for grammar.
Some students find the good free materials to be enough for their prep. The only difference is that this test does not have a timer. It does, however, describe the time limits in its instructions. Unfortunately, these practice sets, which come in PDF form, do not include any audio. Bear in mind that making truly TOEFL-like practice materials requires careful research and development, so truly authentic free stuff from non-ETS sources is pretty rare.
Still, there are some decent free materials out there. For some test-takers, this can be decided very quickly. The PBT is much shorter running to minutes in overall length. For our purposes moving forward, we will draw from the iBT. It will consist of four to six passages that you will need to read, each one being around words long.
Don't expect any light reading here. Most topics are from academia, and it will be your job to understand rhetorical functions like argumentation, cause-and-effect and compare-and-contrast. You will need to identify specific ideas, themes, inferences, essential information, vocabulary, sentence insertion and more.
The test may mandate that you fill out tables complete summaries. Fortunately, you do not need to come into the TOEFL with a prior understanding of the topic at hand in order to get the right answer. The Listening section also features a flexible time range with around six to nine passages per test.
Each section is three to five minutes in length.
