In addition, this is the skill of the SAT:

preparation method

The first key is: the number of words must be strong.

First of all, the number of words in the new TOEFL is obviously increasing compared with the old TOEFL. In the past, the old TOEFL reading articles were only 350 words each, and the new TOEFL reading articles were increased to 700 words each. The study of vocabulary is still the highlight, and the proportion of vocabulary in all reading topics should be about 1/4. If there is a good breakthrough at the word level, it will be of great help to the new TOEFL test. The new TOEFL minimum reading standard also requires us to have a vocabulary of about 8,000, which is the vocabulary of students when they are freshmen in the United States.

The second key: strong listening ability.

The second key is that for China candidates, their listening ability must be strong and super strong. You can see many students' high scores on the website. In the process of preparing for the exam, almost all students with high scores must have strong listening ability, because the new TOEFL has four subjects, three of which mainly examine listening ability.

The third key: note-taking ability is the focus of TOEFL.

The third ability is also one of the keys to successfully preparing for TOEFL. Because listening usually takes 5 or 6 minutes, there are no problems in the process of listening, so I will give you questions to answer in a few minutes, and I will take a lot of notes in the process of listening, and then answer questions according to the notes, which will be very professional. The same is true of spoken English, especially the ability to take notes, because you need to take notes on questions 3, 4, 5 and 6 of spoken English. Questions 3, 4, 5 and 6 require us to answer the questions orally by listening and reading, that is, reading, listening and speaking are done together, and notes need to be taken on both reading materials and listening materials.

Including writing. The comprehensive writing of the composition requires us to read an article and listen to an article before writing. Therefore, taking good notes is very helpful for writing. Therefore, in fact, the key to conquer the new TOEFL is to have a good listening comprehension and a large vocabulary, and then improve your ability to take notes quickly. To do this, there is actually a way to find a high score in the new TOEFL.

Note-taking ability is not only a very important ability to take the TOEFL test, but also a necessary ability to survive successfully in American universities. Because most China students go to the United States, the first three months are a difficult adaptation period. They don't talk much, they can't understand what they write, and they can't understand what the professor says. So many students in China are holding small tape recorders. The professor said that he would record and listen again. It was a very painful three months.

The last point: model test VS TPO

The fourth point is to do a model test before the exam, because as long as there is a reasonable plan to improve listening, speaking, reading and writing, there will be no problem. The model test before the exam is very important for TOEFL scores, so almost all the authoritative exam counseling materials issued overseas are introduced, and we can use these books to do a lot of model tests.

In addition to this model test, you can also go to the ETS website to find a product called TPO. This model test costs about $30. These questions are particularly valuable. The TOEFL model test of ETS is actually a real test in the past, so many students found that the score of the model test was almost the same as the actual score after the test, because it was exactly the same as the actual TOEFL test. TPO is a computer test, which provides students with opportunities for computer operation and actual combat.
