Hello, Josh. Finally, I can leave this comment. Last week, the nineteenth of March I have taken the TOEFL test and for the entire time of my preparation I was struggling with the speaking section. I always could not finish my speech in time or simply forgot those complicated templates. However, today, I received my score that is exactly 100. Specifically, on speaking i have gotten 29/30 and I am so grateful to you for the fact that you have been uploading videos related to the TOEFL for such a long period of time. They were so helpful, especially the evaluative PDF for speaking. Thank you so much again.
Where can I find "evaluative PDF for speaking" Please reply?

Dear Josh, I need to thank you very much for all your guidance and help. I got my iBT scores two hours ago. It was really surprising even for myself. My total score was 109(R:28, L:28, S:28 and W:25). Your guiding points were highly helpful in improving my reading and writing scores.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Josh, just want to say I really thank you a lot for providing me the wonderful tips on how to do TOEFL preparation. I just received my score today, unfortunately I could have done better in Reading Section. On the other hand, I used your writing templates which it really helped me a lot in my writing and I scored 28/30 in my writing section.
Once again thank you so much and hope you can make more TOEFL related videos in the future. 👍😁

@@TSTPrep definitely!
I always element, but it took a lot of time, where I stopped at the third to forth question in passage 3😢😢😢
Josh please! Does the time in the reading section starts when we want to answer questions? or from the beginning (where the text appears without questions!?)
You will have 36 minutes to read the passages and answer the questions. You don't have to read the entire passage first. You can start answering questions immediately.
I am going to pass try test in four days, I hope I will get good points and I want to ask will try test's points strongly differs from real tests points?
My test is on April 15, prayin for 105+
Good luck on your test. If you ever want some additional help, you can check out our site: www.tstprep.com :)
I want English courses currently
I didn't have long to prepare for my toefl tests, a few days at most. And your videos really helped. And on my first try I got a 30 in reading!
Great to hear! Fantastic performance! Congrats!!!
Hello josh,
I’m facing a problem with the last question in reading, where we have to choose 3 options, I’m so much confused with it. Please help.
Thank you for commenting and you are not alone. TOEFL Reading summary questions are a nightmare for most students. Here is a link to our article with a few tips that can make these questions type A LOT easier.

Hey Josh,is toefl really changing in July??I've seen that info on some reliable web on internet.
It seems that the rumors are true and that the TOEFL iBT will change on July 26, 2023. You can read more about the changes here - www.toeflresources.com/blog/major-changes-coming-to-the-toefl-ibt-shorter-test-fewer-questions/.
Thank you sir for such great tricks for reading section.Can you tell me from which website to prepare for the TOEFL listening and reading parts? Except for TST PREP, I already finished those questions.
There are three great sites that you can use for free to find academic passages similar to the ones in the TOEFL Reading and TOEFL Listening sections: National Geographic, TED, and Scientific American. Hope this helps!
Dear Josh, I had my first toefl exam a few days ago and it went terrible. I prepared for the test for only 5 days, now I booked a new appointment which is in 20 days. While I was studying I did a good job and when I came to a test center I was overcome with anxiety and I couldn't focus (reading section especially, I had a struggle with time)... it was much harder than when I studied.. do you have any advice for us disappointed students ? 😄😟
Sorry and good luck on your next test! If you want some additional help, you can check out our site: www.tstprep.com :) As for the test anxiety, check out this video - czcams.com/video/D400ReYYmg4/video.html Hope you find it useful.
Same thing also happened to me and now I’m retaking the test in the next 16 days. I was doing quite well while practicing but I don’t know what happened during the test . I hope I’ll do well this time
@@sofiatibrahimif you want to retake the test do you have to repay ?
@@rayaaaz5147yes another 250
Hi Josh, I have written the Toefl test 8 times now but I have not gotten my desired scores. I am worried and scared if I will be able to make it. I have practice so much but it is still not working. I am so sad.
That sounds super frustrating! I'm sorry to hear that. If you need to retake the test, you might want to try private or group classes with our tutors to help your score. I'll link to it below. Either way, good luck! tstprep.com/store/toefl/
Hello can anyone help me , Time management isn't much of an issue right now for me in reading section but I am confused what to do in "All answers correct" case,Literally question asks something related to facts and all of the options are totally correct,How am I supposed to choose the correct answer in this case,can anyone help me ? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for your question. I am not sure which type of question you are asking about. None of them have all correct answers. If you could please clarify, I would be happy to help you.
Please how do I get your material. Am preparing for Tofel exam

@@TSTPrep Thank you
Thanks Josh,. It took me 23 Seconds to answer each question, how do I umprove my speed
If you can answer in 23 seconds, you don't need to increase your speed. Instead focus on making sure the answer you've picked is correct.
Hey Josh, I got 99 total, R 29, L 26, S 23, W 21. 100 would have been nice, but yes, 99 is also not a bad score though. I went through ur material mostly. Thank you.
Nice! Thanks for taking the time to comment. It means a lot!
Hello josh, Option A also says "Most societies" and not "All societies". I still believe that both option a & b are right answers. These inference questions suck. 😥😭
Haha, yes, they are tough. Sorry to frustrate you! Unfortunately, that's just how the test is designed.
Hi Josh, I want to hug you!!!! I am so glad that I found your channel, you helped me a lot. I took my test last saturday and already have my score: 98/120, 26 reading, 28 listening and 22 for both speaking and writing. Thank u thank u thank u from Brazil!!!!
Thanks for commenting! Happy to hear you have earned the score you needed. Congrats!

I ace every other section but reading just demish me i cant understand why
You would have to work with a teacher to get a more specific answer, but everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Listening tends to measure your ability to understand the gist of what is being said, while Reading focuses more on details. So, your comprehension might be fairly high, but when it comes to looking at details and figuring out the difference between statements it is more of a challenge. This is just a guess, though. You can always meet with a teacher for a trial lesson if you want more specific answers for yourself - tstprep.com/toefl-store/toefl-trial-lesson/
Dear Josh. I got 74, 20 in writing and reading, 17 in speaking and listening. I needed to get 24 in readind and writing and 22 in speaking and listening. What can I do? I feel lost and like a failure😢
Don't worry, you put in a lot of effort.
Bad things build for the biggest reward
Every student is unique, so it is hard for me to give advice to you in particular, but you might want to try meeting with one of our TOEFL tutors for more personalized assessment and guidance - tstprep.com/toefl-store/toefl-trial-lesson/

I have a question about the TOEFL Reading section. What do the questions really look like? There's the paragraph on which the question is made is always above the question in the official preparation guide. Is it the same on a real test? I'm asking because I saw on some sites questions that were just in a column without paragraphs above. Perhaps I read something inattentively, but I would just like to make sure. Thank you very much in advance 🙌🏻
