Tips for the TOEFL® exam

• The TOEFL exam takes several hours to complete. Be prepared!

Listening
• Read the instructions and questions carefully before you listen.
• Note taking is allowed. You should practice this.
• Remember, one lecture is spoken with a British or Australian accent
• Try to get an idea of the situation. Who are the speakers? Where are they? Why are they speaking?
• In some questions a portion of the lecture or conversation is replayed so you don't need to rely on memory of what was said.
• Listen for 'signpost words' such as however, although and finally. They help you to anticipate what the speaker will say.
• For some questions you will need to understand the speaker's attitude. Listen to voice tones and other cues to determine how the
speakers feel about the topic.

Reading
• Remember, you will be reading academic texts, so learn academic vocabulary
• Skim through each text to try to get a basic understanding of what it is about. What is the text about? Who was it written for?
• Carefully read the title and any sub-headings.
• What is the main point of each paragraph? Each paragraph contains a single main idea. The questions will focus on these main ideas.
