4 WAYS TO SAVE TIME

on the TOEFL.

1.KNOW YOUR READING QUESTIONS

Know the different types of questions & what

the best strategy is to answer them. When
you know the traps, you can quickly eliminate
incorrect answer choices.

2. PLAN BEFORE YOU WRITE

Take a breath and think about what you want to

write before you write it. In Writing Task 2, decide
what your answer is first. Think of 2 reasons and
examples to support it. Jot this down on paper.
Then, type the essay. This saves time. You won't get
stuck in the middle of the essay stressing out about
what to write. You'll already know.

3. GIVE TOEFL WHAT THEY WANT

In Speaking Task 2, the question asks you about the

man's or woman's opinion. Spend 10 seconds
summarizing the announcement. Then, go right to
what TOEFL wants: ONE person's opinion. Summarize
that first. Then, if there's time you can talk about the
other person's opinion.

4. FOCUS MORE ON THE LECTURE

Many students want to spend a lot of time

summarizing the reading in Speaking Task 3. They are
so good at this that time runs out & they haven't said
much about the lecture. Spend a maximum 20
seconds on the reading. The rest of your 40 seconds
should be about the lecture.
