TOEFL Tips

For those who are interested in taking the TOEFL exam for any reason, it might be wise to prepare beforehand. The TOEFL exam usually revolves around every day, common language used in English speaking countries, so you shouldn’t have to study like you’re going to a spelling bee.

However there are some things you might still need to practice. The best way to practice a language is to apply it to everyday life, and TOEFL is no different. You can practice by reading books and articles,  as well as interact with other English speakers to increase your proficiency in language. Even that alone can already make 3/4s of the test easier.

For the writing section, it is important to understand basic structures, grammar, and vocabulary to ace the test. You can practice this by writing about different prompts for different purposes, such as writing an email to an old friend, or writing a scientific essay about birds. This can really help you understand how different structures works, and with active use of a dictionary and thesaurus, it might even make you smarter.
