    Hello Josh, I just want to thank you for your extremely helpful videos which I binge-watched one week before my TOEFL and I got 107( Reading 28, Listening 28, Speaking 25, Writing 26) which is enough for the colleges I am applying too. Thank you so so much , without these thoughtfully curated videos and templates it would not have been possible. Also best of luck to those who are going to give the exam, keep calm and you will ace it!.

    I'm going to attend to the ibt exam tomorrow in a test center. I built up confidence and knowledge against toefl with tst prep's content on youtube solely. My goal is to score 21, 21, 21 and a 24 on writing, which is the minimum score to get into my dream university. I will come back to the comment section in a few days when my grade is announced, and if my grade is satisfactory to you, I strongly recommend you to spare only 2-3 days to watch as many videos of tst prep as you can because that's the only thing I did. Thank you very much Josh :) Greetings from Turkey ❤

    Hello Josh :) I wanted to thank you and the whole tstprep team for putting out such a valuable content for free. I (and I am sure lots of other people preparing for the test) are so grateful to you. I had my first TOEFL exam today; however, I was not nervous at all (okay maybe a little) during the test due to your tips and videos. Although these are unofficial scores but I received a 29 in the Reading section and 28 in Listening. I needed to score 100 to apply to my dream school, and I feel like I (with your help) at least started this journey successfully. All of best to you in the future and one more time, thank you!

    What I love most about you is that you give us a very realistic approach and don't set unnatural expectations. I also loved how you cheerfully clapped and encouraged us at the end of every exercise. This helped me gain confidence and overcome my fear.

    Josh, I have a question.
    At 05:27
    The question says, "Using points and examples from the talk, explain two main theories to explain why aggression exists.”
    It does not ask us to define aggression and then explain the two theories.
    So, if we still define it, isn't it not answering the question and adding more information that's not being asked?
    Additionally, If we still do it, woudn't the human raters be able to identify it as being part of a template and then it might affect the score because ETS has cautioned several times against using templates.
    I thought the answer to this would start directly from theories because there is no need to define the concept.
    I am asking this to just as a clarification. This in no way is intended to demean the work you are doing here. Your lectures have been extremely helpful, and I have nothing but gratitude for you.

    • @TSTPrep
      @TSTPrep  Год назад

      Hi there and thank you for your questions. Of course, you can add a definition, that's totally fine. It would be strange to start your response without defining the topic. As for the templates, it has been confirmed multiple times by graders and ETS representatives that they DO NOT DEDUCT DUE TO TEMPLATES. They can tell from the rest of your response how well you speak. Just focus on sounding comfortable and natural.

      Hey, I have my exam scheduled for oct. 7th also). Same problem here, being an introvert and overthinking person most of the times I also can not come up with more than just one reason for speaking task 1. But as far as I know if you can provide a long, sufficient reason, just one is enough. After all toefl is meant to be to test your english, not your reasoning skills. Good luck!)

Is that a good score? And I thank you TST prep because I might have ended up in much lower score if I haven't come across to your videos. My only resources were your videos before a week to test.

    • @TSTPrep

      Speaking speed is a crucial component of your score. You have to speak at a good pace, but you don't have to speak too fast. However, there are many other important aspects of your response that are graded. If you still have doubts, I would recommend meeting with one of our TOEFL Speaking teachers for a speaking evaluation. This 30-minute call was designed to give students like you feedback on their strengths and weaknesses.

    • @TSTPrep
      @TSTPrep  Год назад

      Hi there and good question. Paraphrasing is definitely an important part of your score. Focus on summarizing the information you heard from the reading and listening passage, and you will naturally paraphrase when you speak. If you need more help, you might want to meet with a teacher for an evaluation. tstprep.com/store/toefl/toefl-speaking-evaluation/

    Hey Josh! Thanks for the helpful video. I wanted to ask about the TOEFL GO app. Here's the thing: when I practice the academic discussion task on the ETS website, I sometimes end up getting 4 out of 5. However, when I practice the same question on the TOEFL GO app, I always get 5. I don't know which one is more reliable. What do you think?

    • @TSTPrep
      @TSTPrep  Год назад

      I am not very familiar with the TOEFL Go. In general, though, you need to remember that any site or app where a real person is not checking your answer will never be as accurate as meeting with a teacher. This is because these apps will mostly grade your word count, spelling, grammar, and vocabulary, but it is hard for them to know if you are answering the question you have been asked correctly.

      Hi there and yes, paraphrasing is definitely an important part of your score.

      Speaking speed is a crucial component of your score. You don't have to speak fast, but you have to speak at a good pace. You should aim to say 120 words. That’s ok if you have 10-20 words less, but if you have 20+ words less, that may be a problem. You need to increase your word count per response.

      AI doesn't do the best job of knowing if you answered the question correctly. It is a good tool for skills like word count, pause frequency, etc., but I would not use it to decide if your speaking is 26 or not. On the real test, your response will be evaluated by AI and human graders, so the score might be different.
