hey guys the first time i took this test i got a 86 which really disappointed me. and my listening section was 17. so what i found out was that whenever i try to take notes in the listening part, i can’t fully concentrate on the lecture. the second time i took toefl, i got 27 without taking ANY notes, this really works guys. just imagine the whole lecture/conversation in your head.
Hey Azim, that's so amazing that you improved your TOEFL Listening score this much, congratulations! You're right, if you write down too much, it happens easily that you get distracted and then you miss essential information. Nevertheless, I took notes in TOEFL Listening because I think I wouldn't have been able to remember everything that had been said. But I used a specific strategy that allowed me to keep my focus while taking notes. That's so awesome that you were able to remember everything, respect!
I also no longer take any notes anymore. Most questions are so general that you can answer them through active listening alone and those that aren't are so randomly hyper-specific that the relevant info wouldn't be in my notes anywhere. Got 29 on my last test run on toefl Bank.
Thank you so much, Juva.... I just got my TOFEL score report today... Speaking 23, writing 24, reading 30 and listening 30.. Indeed, your well concise explanations and input helped me a lot...you certainly are amazing.
Congratulations Chukwu! Your scores are amazing, you can be so proud of yourself! I'm so glad I could help :). I'd love to ask you a few questions about your experience. If you are interested in that, please drop me an email at contacting.juva@gmail.com . I'd love to hear from you :)
I’m loving your explanations. You are so incredible. Thank you very much for these classes. My main problem is bad notes taking. I am able to listen and understand everything you are saying but if I have to stop to write anything, I can’t listen anymore. So I lost many points of the listening... I’m having trouble improving on that.
I'm so glad you like them! I know that taking notes can be really hard. However, if you practice, it will get better. Just don't give up, you can do it!
Juva, Your videos are really useful and your reading practice videos actually my reading alot easier. I even watched TST prep videos. Both of you are amazing. Continue helping people with your amazing skills. I just got my TOEFL ibt scores: 107/120 (R26, L26, S28, W27). Thank you!!!
such a legend! video is 8 months old and you still heart and answer the comments! also videos are extremely helpful thank you for your time and effort!
To tell the truth, you are amazing as TET prep. Initially, the TOEFL exam has got I kind of luck. I can prove what I say using my score in the TOEFL reading section. I took the first one yesterday, and I scored 24. Despite this, in the past 3 hours, I took a new one, and the result was 11 out of 30. This massive change in my score has shocked me. I am embarrassed to say that. However, what I want to say is that may you are so lucky then you are going to see an easy passage. I am talking about a practice test from the TST Premium course. Ultimately, I will be glad to see your opinion, JUVA.
First of all, I am here to thank Juva for your work through these videos. You are helping many international students reach their TOEFL scores to attend for degrees in another country. In other words, you are a beautiful soul in this world. I was accepted for a Master's Degree in the USA, and I am here to share my accomplishments with someone who helped me in this process. Again, thank you!
Literally, I was looking for this video and today you uploaded this video.. please make more videos on Listening.... One more humble request can you please suggest platforms for mock tests, I am writing my exam day after tomorrow so I really need to practice a lot
Thank you so Much Juva!! You are the best!! I got 30 in the listening TOEFL section!! I appreciate your support and help, and taking the time to explain and provide the keys to it!!! All my best!!
Just a moment!! You've said before being ready for TOEFL, you had not been in English speaking environment!!! Really?? You are not British??? Where are you from then? you know your English accent is excellent
Hi, Juva. Please, consider solving TOEFL listening exercises while you explain what the right question is and why :) please, I am about to present the test coming week.

Hello, thank you so much, I'm so glad you like it :). You can't see the questions during listening, you'll only see them after you have listened to the passage.
First of all thank you for your excellent video. It's really completed and usefull but i have one problem. how can we take note during the toefl test when it is forbidden ?
Hi Juva, thanks for your videos, they are really helpful. It seems I have no problems with note-taking and understanding the context, but I still make about 5-8 mistakes. Almost all of them occurred because I did not read the question/answers carefully or listened to that part carefully. My reading section has these problems, too. Can you suggest something I can do to raise my attention and avoid this kind of mistakes?
Hi Elina, I'm so glad they are helpful to you :). I know what you are talking about. The questions in TOEFL Reading and Listening are formulated in a way that if you slightly misread them, you will pick the wrong answer. I'd recommend this: When you read a question always remind yourself to read carefully. Always think: Is there a word that is easy to miss? You must do this with every question. If you practice for a while, this will become an automatic process and you will not make this mistake in the TOEFL test. Hope this helps :)
Hi Bawa, I'm so glad you like it. There are usually several conversations and several lectures. I therefore recommend practicing both, so that you are prepared.
You're most welcome! Taking notes in the TOEF is definitely a challenge. I'd recommend practicing this before so that you know what works best for you.
The listing part consists of 2-3 lectures and then 2-3 conversations, Do we have to listen to all the lecture voice records at once and then answer the ~24 questions at once, then same for the conversions? Or I can listen to them record by record and answer each record questions alone?
The questions will appear after each recording. After you have answered the questions, you listen to the next recording, then you answer the questions regarding that recording and so on.
And many answers look alike and are like Trap and i always choosing the wrong and ask Whyy, why they made it in that way?:):D i hope to be more prepared for tonight, the BIIG GREAT TIME for the exam:D
@@juva Hi Juva 😀 I did it online, I made a mistake at the beginning, reading section🤭 I didn't follow the time and I answered 17-18 questions and left only 5min or less. I put too much attention to reading so carefully the question, the answers and the passages... There were 30 questions. I did 17-18, then in the last 5min I just by intuition put some answers on 5 questions and the time end. So I had unfinished 5-6 questions. 😂is not funny but, yes, I made a mistake with the Time. Listening section was ok, I used some notes, but later the marker fell on ground so on 1-2 questions I didn't use notes, but was ok, I focused even better on what they are talking about and tried to memorize important things, Then I had 10 min break. After that I needed again to show my room and desk to the proctor. Speaking session - ohhh, again mistake.. 🤭😂 when I answered on one question, I talked 30 seconds, there left 25-20 seconds and I didn't knew what more to say... Was uncomfortable situation. (Generally, didn't had much time to prepare, only 4 days, and instead I to practice more with TOEFL, I distinguished my english, then only 1-2 days I used for the TOEFL preparation), But my strongest section was the Writing. Of course I will lose a lot points because I didn't answer on 5 questions(empty), 5 answers by intuition, then I don't know if the rest was correct.. (On Reading). And other mistake with speaking when in Only one answer I lost my mind for 20 seconds. Then I said Ummm, yes, that's why.. And tried add some more words with little giggles) 🤭 uhh. I hope to get satisfying result which can be enough to candidate for university abroad😀🍀 I will get the results after some days... But I memorized some things from you and they helped me a lot for this short time when I prepared😀🍀thank you! P. S. my exam continued 4 hours. At the evening 10 30 pm till 2 30 am😂
@@danialexg.d.9944 Congratulations on taking the TOEFL! That's an amazing achievement, you can be so proud of yourself! I'm so glad I could help :). Thanks so much for sharing your experience, that's awesome. I hope you get your dream score :).
Hi, I have a very basic question. Do we have to answer the questions meanwhile we are still listening to the track? Or do we have some time to answer after the track?
No worries, you can do this! The lectures are really challenging. The key is to know what the questions will be about. This helps you focus on the right aspects. Check out my TOEFL Listening playlist where you can find many tips for listening to lectures.
If you take the TOEFL in the test center, you will be provided with headphones. If you take the TOEFL Home Edition, you are not allowed to use headphones. Hope this helps!
Is it possible that my score whilst listening to the CONVERSATION Task is much higher when I am not taking notes at all? :D Whats your recommendation for LECTURE listening task, on which type of words should I concentrate? Many thanks, u r the best"
In TOEFL Listening I'd recommend only taking notes of the most important things. Regarding the conversation task this means writing down details that are difficult to remember, regarding the lecture I'd note the most important points the lecturer gives and the details of the topic he explains. Does this help? :)
Hey 😀 No worries, you can do this! Try to focus on the key points of the listening. To do this, you must know the question types. Have a look at my TOEFL Listening playlist, you can find videos about the question types there. This will help you focusing on the right points.
Excellent question! I'd recommend taking notes of the most important information which may sometimes include the kind of information you mentioned. Usually, you won't be asked for years, names and so on, but it might sometimes be relevant to a question.
Hello! Great video, thank you for the help. I would like to know if we are allowed to write down the Listening templates on the whiteboard during the 10-minutes-break (I am going to memorize them but I’ll write it down before the Listening part starts, just in case).
Hi, thank you, I'm glad you liked it! You are only allowed to take notes during the test. The rules for the TOEFL Home Edition are the same as for the test center.
@@juva I’m sorry, I meant before the Speaking section, not before the Listening part. Can I write down the templates on the whiteboard (writing it from my mind) before the Listening part starts (Home Edition test)? Thanks again!
@@leireriosUnfortunately you are only allowed to take notes during the Speaking section, not before. I'd recommend memorizing the Speaking template before, if you do that, you shouldn't have any problems even if you are nervous. Hope this helps :)
Hi Juan, in TOEFL Listening you can listen to the audio one time only. That's why it's important to take some notes so that you don't forget important points. Hope this helps :)
Hello Juva am samuel Okalebo from Uganda and a semi finalist for IREX Community Solutions program i am needed to take TOEFL test between march and Aprill i need your mentorship on this please
Hello, I find your videos very helpful, thank you very much. Could you please tell How I can take notes in the most convenient way as we are not allowed to use regular pens and papers while taking the exam? Best
Hi, I'm so glad the videos are helpful to you. That's correct, you are allowed to use only 1 whiteboard or 1 transparency sheet. If you want to have a feeling similar to writing on paper I'd recommend using a transparency sheet. Since you are allowed to use only one I'd recommend practising before you take the TOEFL test. Make sure that you know how many notes fit on your sheet, so that you know when you have to erase your notes during the TOEFL. Hope this helps :)
Hi :) It can take a bit longer, so don't worry if you need to wait a bit. If it takes too long I'd recommend contacting ETS and asking them whether everything is ok with your test.
@@myleneaffes1487 It is possible, but it doesn't have to be like that. If you need your scores quickly I'd recommend contacting ETS and telling them. This way you may accelerate the process.
Hi Juva, I’ve been watching your videos and I really like how you explain everything. I would like to know if you are doing one on one or group lecture or tutorial?
Hi, thank you so much, I'm so glad you like it! I'm afraid at the moment I don't offer any lectures or tutorials. However, if you have any questions feel free to post them in the comments I will be happy to answer them :)
I know this may differ from person to person but would you mind sharing your study habit or preparation during TOEFL? I’m planning to take the exam on April 17. Thank you.😊
You are allowed to take notes in the TOEFL. If you take the test in the test center you can use paper, if you take the TOEFL Home Edition, you must use a transparency sheet or whiteboard with an erasable marker.
Hi Priyanshi, I'm fine, I hope you're fine too! Have a look at the question types of TOEFL Listening. If you know them, you know what you need to focus on. Hope this helps :)
I'm not sure whether I understand your question correctly. Do you mean that you would like to have a video where I show you how to solve the different question types?

You're most welcome! Taking notes in the TOEF is definitely a challenge. I'd recommend practicing this before so that you know what works best for you.
The listing part consists of 2-3 lectures and then 2-3 conversations, Do we have to listen to all the lecture voice records at once and then answer the ~24 questions at once, then same for the conversions? Or I can listen to them record by record and answer each record questions alone?
The questions will appear after each recording. After you have answered the questions, you listen to the next recording, then you answer the questions regarding that recording and so on.
And many answers look alike and are like Trap and i always choosing the wrong and ask Whyy, why they made it in that way?:):D i hope to be more prepared for tonight, the BIIG GREAT TIME for the exam:D
I hope everything went well :)
@@juva Hi Juva 😀 I did it online, I made a mistake at the beginning, reading section🤭 I didn't follow the time and I answered 17-18 questions and left only 5min or less.
I put too much attention to reading so carefully the question, the answers and the passages... There were 30 questions.
I did 17-18, then in the last 5min I just by intuition put some answers on 5 questions and the time end.
So I had unfinished 5-6 questions. 😂is not funny but, yes, I made a mistake with the Time.
Listening section was ok, I used some notes, but later the marker fell on ground so on 1-2 questions I didn't use notes, but was ok, I focused even better on what they are talking about and tried to memorize important things,
Then I had 10 min break.
After that I needed again to show my room and desk to the proctor.
Speaking session - ohhh, again mistake.. 🤭😂 when I answered on one question, I talked 30 seconds, there left 25-20 seconds and I didn't knew what more to say... Was uncomfortable situation. (Generally, didn't had much time to prepare, only 4 days, and instead I to practice more with TOEFL, I distinguished my english, then only 1-2 days I used for the TOEFL preparation),
But my strongest section was the Writing.
Of course I will lose a lot points because I didn't answer on 5 questions(empty), 5 answers by intuition, then I don't know if the rest was correct.. (On Reading).
And other mistake with speaking when in Only one answer I lost my mind for 20 seconds. Then I said Ummm, yes, that's why.. And tried add some more words with little giggles) 🤭 uhh.
I hope to get satisfying result which can be enough to candidate for university abroad😀🍀 I will get the results after some days...
But I memorized some things from you and they helped me a lot for this short time when I prepared😀🍀thank you!
P. S. my exam continued 4 hours.
At the evening 10 30 pm till 2 30 am😂
@@danialexg.d.9944 Congratulations on taking the TOEFL! That's an amazing achievement, you can be so proud of yourself! I'm so glad I could help :). Thanks so much for sharing your experience, that's awesome. I hope you get your dream score :).
Amazing! very clear information
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, I have a very basic question. Do we have to answer the questions meanwhile we are still listening to the track? Or do we have some time to answer after the track?
Hi Ana, in TOEFL Listening you first listen to the audio and after that you answer the questions. Hope this helps :).
Thank you Juva.
You're most welcome!
you are the best!!
Thank you!
I Have problem with lystening lectures, I Just cannot Stay concentrated so long, what should I do?😢
No worries, you can do this! The lectures are really challenging. The key is to know what the questions will be about. This helps you focus on the right aspects. Check out my TOEFL Listening playlist where you can find many tips for listening to lectures.
Good tips
Glad it was helpful!
Do you know if you can go back to review your answers in the listening part?
As far as I know you cannot go back and change your answers in TOEFL Listening.
2:45 in my case i have given only 20 seconds to review the questions
Wow, that's fast!
Which headphone should we use to listening
If you take the TOEFL in the test center, you will be provided with headphones. If you take the TOEFL Home Edition, you are not allowed to use headphones. Hope this helps!
Hey Juva, my listening does not improve. Can you please provide some strategies?
Hey :) Check out my TOEFL Listening playlist. You can find strategies for solving different question types and for note-taking there. Hope this helps!
on tip #1, you only see the first question after listening to the entire audio clip.
That's correct :) That's why you must know the question types in advance so that you know what you need to focus on when listening.
Thank you so much. Your videos and materials were very helpful. Scored 23 in listening 🙏🙏
Congratulations Anene! That's an amazing score, you can be so proud of yourself! I'm so glad I could help :). May I ask what your total score is?
@@juva I got 92
Is it possible that my score whilst listening to the CONVERSATION Task is much higher when I am not taking notes at all? :D Whats your recommendation for LECTURE listening task, on which type of words should I concentrate? Many thanks, u r the best"
In TOEFL Listening I'd recommend only taking notes of the most important things. Regarding the conversation task this means writing down details that are difficult to remember, regarding the lecture I'd note the most important points the lecturer gives and the details of the topic he explains. Does this help? :)
Soo helpful!!
Thank you Luciana :) I'm so glad you liked it!
Your videos helped me a lot but one suggestion try to use L-cut in Your video editing ❤
I'm so glad they were helpful to you! Great suggestion :)
Hey juva, i lose my focus during listening examples of toefl listening they are so long pleaase can u advice me!!!
Hey 😀 No worries, you can do this! Try to focus on the key points of the listening. To do this, you must know the question types. Have a look at my TOEFL Listening playlist, you can find videos about the question types there. This will help you focusing on the right points.
In listening do I need to take note of years, names of people or places?
Excellent question! I'd recommend taking notes of the most important information which may sometimes include the kind of information you mentioned. Usually, you won't be asked for years, names and so on, but it might sometimes be relevant to a question.
@@juva thank you so much
Thanks
I'm so glad you find it helpful!
Hello! Great video, thank you for the help. I would like to know if we are allowed to write down the Listening templates on the whiteboard during the 10-minutes-break (I am going to memorize them but I’ll write it down before the Listening part starts, just in case).
Hi, thank you, I'm glad you liked it! You are only allowed to take notes during the test. The rules for the TOEFL Home Edition are the same as for the test center.
@@juva I’m sorry, I meant before the Speaking section, not before the Listening part. Can I write down the templates on the whiteboard (writing it from my mind) before the Listening part starts (Home Edition test)? Thanks again!
@@leireriosUnfortunately you are only allowed to take notes during the Speaking section, not before. I'd recommend memorizing the Speaking template before, if you do that, you shouldn't have any problems even if you are nervous. Hope this helps :)
Like too much the way she talk It’s so clear and understandable!!!! Wow it makes me feel I know ENGLISH!!!! But yes the STRATEGIES, IT IS THE CLUE
Hi Jose, I'm so glad you like it :)
This is amazing. Thank you so much. Did you also take the GRE? Could you help us out with that one too?
I'm so glad you like it! I didn't take the GRE, so I have no experience with that, sorry.
I have a doubt, in the Toefl Home Edition, in the listening section, how many times you can hear the audio? One or two? Thanks
Hi Juan, in TOEFL Listening you can listen to the audio one time only. That's why it's important to take some notes so that you don't forget important points. Hope this helps :)
Hello Juva am samuel Okalebo from Uganda and a semi finalist for IREX Community Solutions program i am needed to take TOEFL test between march and Aprill i need your mentorship on this please
Hello Samuel, so great that you want to take the TOEFL! If you have any questions, please put them in the comments, I'll be happy to answer them :).
God, you are Gorgeous 🥺♥️
Thank you!
Hi Juva...are quickcards templates for the speaking test allowed in the test center as guides while sitting the exam? Thanks
Hi Joel, you are not allowed to have anything with you during the TOEFL test.
Thank you :)
You're welcome! :)
Hello, I find your videos very helpful, thank you very much.
Could you please tell How I can take notes in the most convenient way as we are not allowed to use regular pens and papers while taking the exam?
Best
Hi, I'm so glad the videos are helpful to you. That's correct, you are allowed to use only 1 whiteboard or 1 transparency sheet. If you want to have a feeling similar to writing on paper I'd recommend using a transparency sheet. Since you are allowed to use only one I'd recommend practising before you take the TOEFL test. Make sure that you know how many notes fit on your sheet, so that you know when you have to erase your notes during the TOEFL. Hope this helps :)
WHY YOU CAN JUST LISTEN THE AUDIO ONE TIME AND NOT TWICE? :(
No worries, you can do this! Have a look at my TOEFL Listening playlist for tips on how to get a high Listening score :).
With all my respect you kept on repeating ur self for 8 mins nothing new to learn just general tips that we all know basically
Hi Alex, I appreciate your feedback. It’s a pity that you feel this way. I hope that the channel is nevertheless helpful to you :).
Hello 🙂
After the TOEFL exam, the result are really available between 7-10 days or it can be more please? :)
Hi :) It can take a bit longer, so don't worry if you need to wait a bit. If it takes too long I'd recommend contacting ETS and asking them whether everything is ok with your test.
@@juva If i took my TOEFL on 20 january , Can I have the results before 1 february ? 🙂
@@myleneaffes1487 It is possible, but it doesn't have to be like that. If you need your scores quickly I'd recommend contacting ETS and telling them. This way you may accelerate the process.
@@juva thank you so much :)
Hi Juva, I’ve been watching your videos and I really like how you explain everything. I would like to know if you are doing one on one or group lecture or tutorial?
Hi, thank you so much, I'm so glad you like it! I'm afraid at the moment I don't offer any lectures or tutorials. However, if you have any questions feel free to post them in the comments I will be happy to answer them :)
Great! Thanks a lot.💞
@@DrMjVeterinarian You're so welcome
I know this may differ from person to person but would you mind sharing your study habit or preparation during TOEFL? I’m planning to take the exam on April 17. Thank you.😊
@@DrMjVeterinarian You're totally right, TOEFL preparation is definitely an important topic. I noted your wish :)
We cannot take notes in the TOEFL exam.
You are allowed to take notes in the TOEFL. If you take the test in the test center you can use paper, if you take the TOEFL Home Edition, you must use a transparency sheet or whiteboard with an erasable marker.

You must use a transparency sheet or a whiteboard, you are not allowed to use paper.
