Although there are many forms of TOEFL now, in fact, each one has corresponding restrictions.
In addition to the difficulty of grabbing offline test sites, there are also various test sites with uneven equipment. In some test sites, some unexpected situations may occur. I don't know how many children have been planted in the pit of the test center ... the sound insulation is not good, the invigilator's character is poor, the equipment is damaged, and the traffic is inconvenient. It's hard to say.
Matters needing attention in the selection of test site
First of all, you need to observe or collect the information of this test center online to find out whether the traffic around this test center is convenient.
Is there a large flow of people? If there are many people signing up, the toilet may not last for ten minutes at half time.
When choosing the examination room, you need to choose some advanced facilities and relatively quiet overall environment. Some examination rooms don't have air conditioning in summer. In order to play the best level, you should choose the examination room with the most advanced equipment.
Before choosing an examination room, you need to pay attention to a few things.
Register for the examination room at least three months in advance.
When the number of places is tight, priority should be given to the date and the ability to take the exam.
The examination room should not be too far away, because getting up at five in the morning will be very tired.
You can't take anything from the cupboard during the exam break.
Don't panic in case of emergency. Raise your hand and report to the teacher. The teacher will come and help you solve it, and take the exam again where you left off.
You can change the pencil when it is dull, or you can ask the teacher for two pens. You can ask for the manuscript paper when it is used up. It is not recommended to change the manuscript paper for the oral part. After all, time is not enough to waste.
I can't write a template for ten minutes at halftime! ! ! This is cheating.
Let's introduce several test sites to you and analyze their advantages and disadvantages (share the experience of candidates in previous years for reference only)
Beijing education college training center
Compere: A little old.
Monitor: each classroom monitor is different, including LCD and non-LCD;
Mouse and keyboard: keyboard and mouse are general;
Sound quality of headphones: headphones can hear clearly, but the microphone is not very good;
Partition: separated by transparent plastic partition; Invigilation: The teacher has a poor attitude and the invigilation is very strict.
2. Suzhou University
Examination room environment: there are toilets on each floor, and there are paper towels in the tea room and toilet, which is more considerate. Partition: The upper part of the seat partition is frosted and a little transparent. Mouse and keyboard: the keyboard is quite comfortable, and the sound insulation effect of headphones is not very good. Proofreading: As for the draft paper, we don't accept the paper during the break, but we will take the pen away (return it after the break) ...... so we still have a chance to write templates or inspiration before the break.
3. Yangzhou University
Examination room environment: The examination room and storage point of Yangzhou University are not necessarily on the same floor, so students who come early still have the opportunity to take the last time to look at the materials and so on in the waiting area. After storing your bags, you can only bring the necessary documents to the examination room, and neither water nor food can be brought into the examination room. In addition, if you want to use the examination cabinet, you need a 5 yuan deposit to get the key, and the locker key can't be brought into the examination room.
Partition: The layout of the examination room is relatively uniform, with partitions, but the distance between computers is relatively close. There is no corridor between the four machines. Mouse and keyboard: Both computer and keyboard are Lenovo (no advertising here), which is very easy to use. Examination equipment: pencils that can fire bullets. I don't know how long it has been changed. The nib is blunt, but it doesn't affect writing. The seat has no backrest, but I don't care about comfort when I answer questions. Three draft papers will be distributed in the exam, which is generally enough. If it is not enough, you can ask the invigilator for it again.
But in the end, I want to say that no matter what the external environment is, as long as you work hard, you are not afraid of being affected.
