Thanks to everyone for their contributions.. I took the toefl test on the 7th of this month, though I didn't discover this thread on time but I was able to build my confidence and kill the fear that I couldn't pass the toefl test..

My score: R21 L24 S24 W25 - T94

I only practiced well during my tutorial which lasted about 2weeks, I was too busy chasing money I didn't have time to practice well. About a week to the test, I tried to practice more but NEPA & PC won't let me be great. I practiced writing once.. I was too shy to practice the speaking section and did listening a number of times.. I practiced reading most because from day1, I knew I would have issues with it, so I paid more attention to it.

Material I used was Barron's prep software

Test day: I got to the test center (JKK) very early, saw people with big big textbooks, fear catch me.. To ease my fear, I started surfing the Internet for last minute tips, then I stumbled on a site that had videos by ETS (inside the toefl) these videos I believe, really helped me coz I got an insight of how the test is graded. The video gives examples of test answers that got high scores. I used the format to answer my questions and alhamdulillah, I'm glad I saw the video.

My conclusion: it's not only about how long you practice but also using the right materials and getting the right information about the test.. I used just barron for my practice and I can you that the reading section is a veeerry different from the actual test.. This got me unaware and I lost my balance and confidence for a while during the test.

My advice: get differ materials to practice, don't choose a date that's too far as you may get tired of practicing at some point. Read books or watch videos by ETS (they are the organisers of the test, they know more about it than any one). Kill the fear and be confident that you can do it! Above all, don't stop praying!

Alhamdulillah for this thread and the person that created,the people that have contributed selflessly to the success of this group and the followers. May God bless you all..

This is my little way of showing my appreciation! This is not my real account, I had to create this to send this message (for personal reasons)..
I've not registered for GRE yet, I hope to do it this week!
