TOEFL Practice Test: The Speaking Section

Hi Josh. May I know that the speaking questions are completely based on the conversation or the lecture? Because it is somewhat difficult for me to write or memorize some special points in reading parts. So would it be okay if I highly focus on lecture and conversation.

Wish me luck for tomorrow!!! Thank you so much!!

The way you congratulate each time is just so encouraging. I sometimes complete the test just to hear that!

15 seconds for preparation of the 1st question is ridiculously short and takes a toll on one's mind for the rest of the section if it goes haywire. Nevertheless I have my exam tomorrow, wish me luck.
Thanks TST Prep TOEFL for the help. I'm extremely scared on what would happen tomorrow.

Hi, is speaking evaluated overall or individual questions separately? Can I use the same linking phrases for all of them or should I have different ones prepared for each question? Thank you!

It is very helpful to have these practice tests with you. They really help with studying. You are an amazing teacher. Thank you for doing this for free, really.

If the speaking time is 45 seconds, is 2 supporting evidence sufficient enough?

Thank you.

Question 1, 2, 3 is easy but Q4 is difficult I cant even speak one word about it

Vincent Van Golf??? Seriously? lol

you always scare me at the end of the video hahaha I am so concentrated and you start clapping. It is so funny XD

Back here after getting my scores back. THANK YOU! I do terrible under pressure so getting a 30 on speaking is miraculous 😂 I'll be sure to refer others to your channel too.

Hi! Do you know if we take the test in a room alone at the test center or are there other students present?

I'm coming back to this video after receiving my TOEFL scores! I had around 10 days to study and I was very worried about the speaking section, especially because I was so out of practice and I have ADHD, which makes it hard to gather my thoughts on such a short time. However, today I found out that I got an overall score of 113 (R:30, L: 28, S:27, W:28), which is so much better than I could have imagined. Your videos and guidance were crucial for me, I can't thank you enough!

I have a question is this a computer based exam or paper or even both?

I can't thank you enough!! I had only two weeks to prepare and thanks to your videos, I got 28/30 in the speaking section❤

Question 4 is so hard😭

Please tell me this test. Prefer in America

Hi! I am taking the TOEFL test from home and I was reading through the instructions where it says it is allowed to use a small desktop whiteboard with erasable marker. I was therefore wondering if it is OK to use this to take notes during all of the tests - including the speaking test? Vey grateful for a reply, thank you for informative and useful videos :)

Thank you so much❤❤❤

This is really helpful, thank you so much

i tried to answer the questions my own but when i read the samples i fond out i screwd... maybe i should give up

Hi josh im so glad your videos helped me so much...i scored 100/120 ❤️ tysm

Sir I need some more Toefl speaking test videos can u please provide

Thank you for your videos and practice tests. I scored a 104 on TOEFL. Your videos by far are the most helpful.

I love the way you lead the videos and the best part is the final celebration. It makes me feel like a really did a great job 🎉

I was preparing for my test and I would always wait for the end when Josh would reappear and it would be such a friendly face and was a calming agent to my practice. He would say stuff like congratulations you've reached till the end that shows you're serious and stuff like that. I prepared from the templates that Josh had in the description and got a score of 30/30 in speaking. I didn't focused much on the other sections and didn't do very good in them but was able to get 20 above in each section which was still an accomplishment for me. So here I am thanking Josh for being such a good teacher, mentor and support system in reaching my desired score in speaking and all the other sections. Thankyou Josh you're a gem. <3

Hi Josh, A question puzzled me all the time about speaking section, should I always have to pick a side? or I can just stay neutral?
for example, the question - It is a matter of personal opinion whether or not children should receive money for doing household tasks such as cleaning. Here are some points to consider for both sides of the argument:

For:

Children who contribute to household tasks may feel a sense of accomplishment and responsibility, which can be valuable character-building experiences.
If children are paid for doing household tasks, it can teach them the value of hard work and the importance of earning money.
In some cases, children may be able to use the money they earn from doing household tasks to save for something they want, which can help them learn about financial planning and budgeting.

Against:

Household tasks are a normal part of being a member of a family and should be expected of children as a part of their responsibilities and contributions to the household.
Paying children for household tasks may give the impression that they are only willing to do them if they are rewarded, which could create a negative dynamic within the family.
Depending on the child's age and maturity level, they may not be ready to handle the responsibility of managing money and could end up spending it impulsively or unwisely.

Ultimately, whether or not to pay children for doing household tasks is a decision that should be made by the parents based on the individual needs and circumstances of their family.

can I answer like that as a neutral?

I just wanna ask if anyone here responds as well as the written answer exampled here. Is it okay to answer questions with just a brief but coherent answer? I feel like I won't be able to answer as detailed as the example.

Hi josh! Thank you so much for your help. I scored 26 in speaking , I watched your video just before test day and it helped me a lot. Thank you so much!

Hi Josh, just here to say a big thank you for your help. I got an overall of 101 in my first attempt which is more than I needed❤

My biggest issue with this section in the exam is that I am always overwhelmed by social anxiety. Having both the struggle to communicate in a different language and to communicate by speaking is what's killing me. My brain cant process well especially under pressure. What pains me more is that I know I am capable of talking well in English but when I try to let the words out of my mouth, I just stutter and lose my train of thought which then derails to even bigger problems such as wasting time and then panicking to the idea that I wasted time. Lmao. I wish I could find tutorial that can train myself not to panic and be comfortable with the language because in our country, it is an intimidating one.

hey Josh, i was interested about scoring our speaking. How they score us?

Only had a couple of days to prepare but thanks to your videos I achieved 110 (R:27, L:30, S:29, W:24). Great & helpful advice :) Thank you!

For speaking all I did was to study sample questions from your website and practice with problems. I don't speak English regularly, practiced for the test by myself. Managed to get a score of 25 for speaking. Thanks man.

Hi Josh! I referred TST materials throughout my TOEFL practice. I must thank you for your videos. I was able to achieve a decent overall score on my first attempt. Really grateful to you, Keep up the good work!!
