There are different versions of the test:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TOEFL iBT\u00ae test\u2014assesses English level for university<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TOEFL ITP\u00ae tests\u2014assesses English skills for academic success<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TOEFL Junior\u00ae tests\u2014assesses younger students\u2019 English skills with their future success in mind<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TOEFL Primary\u00ae tests\u2014assesses students\u2019 English skills at the beginning of their English acquisition and comprehension.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For this blog, we\u2019ll be taking a closer look at the TOEFL iBT test and sections, as this test is the most popular among the suite of TOEFL tests. It\u2019s widely accepted by universities and institutions worldwide, including top schools in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia, and beyond. TOEFL iBT is a comprehensive, reliable measure of English language proficiency, and it assesses:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reading<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Listening<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Writing<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be taken in person at official test centers or at home with the TOEFL iBT Home Edition, offering more flexibility. The iBT provides detailed score reports that help test-takers understand their strengths and areas for improvement. What is considered a good TOEFL score is variable. Generally speaking, universities will seek a score of 100 or above, but a score of 80 is a good level of proficiency. Let\u2019s discuss avenues to strengthen your TOEFL score for maximum impact on your university acceptance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Building a Strong TOEFL Vocabulary<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a rich array of words at your disposal is essential for the TOEFL vocabulary test. We recommend using flashcards, word lists, and contextual learning to enrich your diction. Flashcards and word lists are available to you through our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petersons.com\/testprep\/toefl\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TOEFL test prep<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you identify the meanings of words and phrases in the reading passages, using context and your understanding to interpret the entire passage and specific words is essential. On the TOEFL iBT, if technical, unusual words are in the passage, you will see the definition presented in a box.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some strategies for learning and remembering new words in your studies:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a dictionary or thesaurus. Pronounce words correctly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use word cards.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn synonyms and antonyms. Understand a word&#8217;s unstated meanings.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use word parts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/mnemonics\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mnemonics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use context clues.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn word histories.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vocalize as you learn.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Review, review, review.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These pointers should help you establish a vocabulary with myriad words. A strong vocabulary will help you with the reading section on the test. Ultimately, continually collecting words, as if it&#8217;s your life\u2019s passion, can make all the difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Mastering the TOEFL Reading Test Practice<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three or four reading passages will be presented to you in the TOEFL Reading section. Each TOEFL Reading passage, usually excerpts from university textbooks written in English, will have around 700 words and 10 questions. Concepts and topics in the TOEFL reading passages can include factual information, inference, rhetoric, vocabulary, sentence simplification, and insert text questions. Some things you can do for TOEFL Reading practice include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Utilizing flashcards to help build TOEFL-specific and English vocabulary<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petersons.com\/testprep\/product\/toefl-practice-tests-reading-comprehension\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TOEFL Reading practice tests<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to become familiar with the types of questions that will be asked on the TOEFL exam\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reading a variety of English materials each day<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Like short stories, news articles, magazines and books, fun books or comics, and social posts<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you read various formats, you\u2019ll notice that the structure and tone may vary but that English follows certain conventions.
