THANK YOU JOSH! 115/120. 28 W 28 S 30 L 29 R

Hi there, i have my toefl on 25 may. I have almost a month to prepare for the test and im just getting started with the preparation and im very nervous about the test. Is there any way for me to score 110+ on the toefl ibt in under a motnh? The only sections where I struggle are the reading and speaking. I cant really focous on reading the passages as they are too long. And for speaking, english isnt my main language and I stutter a lot while speaking and the 15 minutes preparaation time is way too low for speaking. Can you give me some tips for reading and speaking sections?

Josh, I can’t thank you enough! Just got my Toefl home scores back, from the test I had last Sunday.
I scored 102/120 and I couldn’t be happier! Never had I imagined, to get more than 100 points… thanks for your helpful videos and tips! I wouldn’t have done it without the videos of yours!!🥹🥹🥹👍🏼

Okay so for Question 1, you only cite without including your own idea. Am I right?

Thank you for the amazing videos and practice tests. I solved your practice tests and found the actual test to be much easier.

I managed to score - 116/120 on my TOEFL with section-wise scores of - R30, L30, S29, W27.

Thanks a lot!

Ok, it is that time of my journey where I not only thank you for all the efforts you made for us the get a top score in our TOEFL test, but also I would like to let everyone know that tomorrow will be my first attempt to appear for the exam. While writing this down I may feel a little nervous but I just want to say that really from the bottom of my heart, it would not be possible without TST Prep detailed videos and most importantly the guidance of Josh sir❤
Hopefully, I achieve a good total and make all the hard work count.

Hi, I can't find the 2 task video of the writing section

I'm a TOEFL beginner and I want to quickly raise my score to 106.

OMG, thank you! I used these videos to prepare for my TOEFL iBT! I managed to score 110/120 in my first attempt :D Thank you so much <3

"Is it possible to take a break during the TOEFL test? If the response is yes, does the time keep running while we're paused?"

Thankyou so much Josh and TST Prep for all your helps during my TOEFL study journey.. I’m going to take the test today✨

Thank you Josh, i got 110🤩

I have a question, is it okay to use words from the passage provided? Or is it better to rephrase sentences and use different words of our own for higher score?

Had my first TOEFL test and used your videos to prepare for a few days
Got 110/120 🤝🏻

Thank you Josh for all your efforts through these videos
My question is, can I start my writing task 1 with the listening then write from the reading passage secondly?
Because I always can’t finish writing the last point from the listening

According to ETS "Writing videos" they say "Typically, an effective response will be 150 to 225 words.", is this the updated rubric?

Thank u Josh for all the valuable information you provide. I took the test last week and got my results 2 days back. I was shocked tbh.
My scores are R:28, L:30, S:28, W:29. Total score 115/120.I only watched your videos and practice tests as part of my preparation. I couldn't thank you enough. Keep up the great work!

Is 1 week sufficient for preparation, if your english level is already on a good level? I have taken a practice test yeaterday with C1 score and I only need 90 for the university I want to apply for. On the other hand everyone tells me that you have to study at least 1 month in advance. But I don‘t have any more time.

I understand much more east inglish than west inglish

Josh you are amazing! Good teaching method and kind of inglish males me hard on! East inglish!

Intend bettering my american inglish

Accent

Uaiuuuuu! Here am I from a perfect inglish from native teacher with perfect inglish! Love inglish and more american inglish! Onde é have heard an inglish man criticising american inglish! The same between portuguese from Portugal and Brasil! Inglish man hás told: american acent looks like dukes sound! I didnt agree! First love USA, second USA is powerfull and richer than britain! Só I love USA and I have touristed from Miami tô Orlando ! Love usa! From Brazil , Raymond

Thanks Josh for all

Thank you so much! I have my TOEFL test tomorrow, and I´m so nervous, but your videos and tips help me gain confidence.😊 I´m from Mexico!

I'm calling the authorities—this is criminal how good it is!
