The test itself is not so difficult, but some questions can be uneasy
enough. Even if you perfectly speak English, you all the same will need
to get used to structure of TOEFL because not a lot of people
successfully pass it from the first time. You need to practise, study
much to answer questions of TOEFL and to repeat themes with which you
have complexities.
Till 1998 all passed over paper, standard TOEFL. The test consisted of
three parts: audition, grammar and reading. It was maximum possible to
receive 677 points. Since July, 1998 all candidates pass new computer
non-standard TOEFL. Its maximum quantity of points is equaled to 300
(there are special tables for correlation of old and new points). The
obligatory test in written English was added. First two parts of the
test became adaptive - that is complexity of the test began to depend
on your abilities. It allows to save time, but simple questions give
you less points. |
