Summary
The process of preparing for the TOEFL exam involves two critical aspects: understanding the test's structure and enhancing English proficiency. Mastery of both elements is essential for achieving a high score.
- Learning the test encompasses familiarizing oneself with its format, developing strategies for answering questions, and managing timing effectively.
- Improving English skills requires extensive practice in speaking, writing, listening, and reading beyond mere grammar and vocabulary exercises.
- Official materials from ETS are invaluable for understanding the test format, while unofficial resources like Magoosh offer strategic insights.
- Practicing with full-length sections and tests is crucial for building stamina, given the TOEFL's duration of approximately four hours.
- Engaging with English in daily life, especially through interactions with native speakers and consuming academic content, is vital for language improvement.
