    1. Reading: Skim only, don't try to read whole passage in detail because of time crunch
    2. Recheck answer choices if you have time
    3. Listening: Jot only important detail, develop and practice note taking using simple abbreviations and symbols
    4. Speaking: Use your clean and tailored cohesive templates
    5. Have intonation/emphasis/delivery on words
    6. Writing: Use your clean and tailored cohesive templates. Practice, reiterate.
    PS - Resources in description

My tips would be just to make sure that you know and understand the whole process of testing system, you also need to be very flexible and carefully complete all the 4 parts of TOEFL. More importantly, please practice pre-test as much as possible.

    i’m korean high school students.
    my school is relatively in the rural .
    so my friends, my parents, and my all around people don’t think about broad university.
    they are only conceiving me to go to korean university.
    but i don’t wanted to satisfy this small university in the small country
    I wanted to see more huge world and I want to be nice.
    so recently , I’m looking for tips for toefl and SAT in the youtube and I find you be there!
    Because you are almost native, although There is surely a gap , I think it so fortunate to me to look for you in youtube
    thanks for a tips in native’s view 😁😁
    though my English is somewhat awkward😓 but I ‘m going to enter my dream university at any cost!!
    thanks again Sybil , and wish my best of luck and pray for me please.

    Hiiii Sybil! Thank you for all your great info about TOEFL. I have a problem which really makes me feel nervous: I hope you can give me a tip. In gonna take TOEFL home in a few days and my desk has a "pull-out keyboard tray". I want to place my whiteboard on the keyboard tray. And my laptop is on the desk. Do you think I should put the whiteboard on the desk surface too ?

    Thank you for the amazing tips Sybil!! I have a very important question!! On the Listening Section, can you see the questions while you hear the audio or do they only pop up after?
