FAQ’s For The TOEFL® IBT Questions From Our Clients:

1. I am a good English speaker. My friends say so. Will I have trouble passing?

Response: Your friends have learned to understand you. However, you might not meet the threshold as a good English speaker. You need to prepare with good methods and materials.

2. I read questions other “reviewers” say are on the test and I practiced developing good answers but I still failed, Why?

Response: You studied the wrong things. If your “reviewer” or the materials you used concentrated on specific questions they did not know what the test is really about. Test questions are expected to change frequently and regularly. Beware of anyone who would sell you, or give you, prepared answers, especially answers created for the speaking portion. Good intending “reviewers” cause countless failures because they give out prepared answers – and you get stuck reviewing the same old inaccurate “sample” tests.

One other caution is that some web sites are offering just abbreviated video lessons and a book. Those web sites cover only the Speaking and Listening sections. What good is that when there are four difficult sections to the test? Get solid, comprehensive, materials.

3. I studied harder after I received a low score, then my next score was lower. The test must be flawed!

Response: The test is not flawed. You most likely studied the wrong thing. Remember, each time you take the test the questions and scenarios are different. You must know English and you must practice your writing, reading, listening and speaking. Do not rely on creating answers before the test.

4. The Speaking portion is totally subjective and no one passes!

Response: Yes, the speaking portion of the test is subjective, but many people pass and will continue to pass. Passers overwhelmingly immerse themselves in English before the test and concentrate on how they sound, their pronunciations, intonations, etc. They pronounce words as found in a USA-American dictionary. You must do the same.

5. Why shouldn’t I take a local “reviewer” in my own country also (or instead)?

Response: Because you are taking an ENGLISH test. Local “reviewers” in your own country can only teach you how to speak English like you already speak it, and the reason you are being tested is that how you learned English in your country is not acceptable! Local instructors learned, and speak, the same English you learned and speak. No matter how much computer time they give you, no matter how high their teacher/student ratio is, they cannot teach you USA-American English. Instead, they can only teach you answer “strategies” and techniques. That does not work! Reviewers in your own country most likely cannot show you proper pronoun usage, nor will they help you with dropped articles. They make the same basic English mistakes you make. In the speaking segment, word pronunciation is vitally important. You cannot obtain correct pronunciation by teachers with the same learning background as you.
