Some tips to score high on the TOEFL Some tips to score high on the TOEFLThe Test of English as a Foreign Language- the TOEFL is not so much differentfrom any kind of sport including soccer or basketball. The test requires you someskills in listening, reading and writing as well as the skill to control the testformats and timing. However, a high-performing soccer player or TOEFL testtaker needs more than just these basic skills to score the goal or get the highmark. That is Strong Mental Preparation before the very important test.Throughout my years of observation, this is the very factor that draws the linebetween the score of 600 and 677. Do you want to know how to do it? Let meshare with you some of my findings:1. First Thing First is to set up a realistic timeframe: The plan should includewhen you want to take the test. The time frame should not be too long to makeyou bored, or too short to make you unprepared. For me, the ideal period is 3months when you are at your peak performance.2. Begin With The End In Mind: you should clarify the target score you want toget. The score should be Realistic and Attainable. If you want to score 630, writeit down and buy it into your heart and to your mind. Recall it before you start todo anything in the morning. Just by doing this, you have finished half of theprocess. No commitment, No involvement.3. Try to put you in the real testing situations as much as possible. If youare lazy, higher scores on the TOEFF is unrealistic. You often need to put youout of your day-to-day preparation for 3 hours, sit down and take the practicetests just as you will have to do on the actual test day. Take it seriously. Then, doit over and over again. You will soon find out that you are making progress dayafter day. The science of psychology proves that human brain forms habitsnaturally after certain routines of practice. The more youpractice, the more you will see your testing skills getting better, your judgmentsbecoming faster and more accurate. “Practice makes perfect” and as a result,perfect practice makes perfect progress.Another factor, which determines higher score on the TOEFL, is your “biologicalclock”. If you feel comfortable and energetic working in the afternoon, you shouldregister the test in the afternoon. If the test will be in the morning, from now on,try to wake up and start working early in the morning.4. Last but in no way least is Physical Preparation. The TOEFL test willcertainly consume you a lot of energy. Staying focused and giving goodadjustments during the test require you to have very strong brain stamina – thebody strength in the testing conditions. So, make sure you exercise regularly,have good diet and adequate rest well before the test day. Strong physicalpreparation will determine whether you will hit the high score.I hope that you will find these insights helpful to you.
