Dear Josh, just received my TOEFL score. I am thrilled to share that I scored 114 with a preparation of 2 weeks. Thank you so much for the amazing free materials and templates, especially for the speaking section. You have been an incredible teacher. Lots of love!
@CatWhite-n1p
Sure! I had practiced from the official 6th edition book and watched the videos by TSTPrep. Listened to the rated speakings and compared my own recording. Tried one response multiple times to identify my weaknesses. That pretty much sums up what I did.
@@beckywapper8134and how many hours you spend on a day preparing please??
hey, congrats on your grade! also were the questions easier than what's on youtube or were they similar?
@@lino2900 It was at per the standard of the official practice book (6th Edition) by ETS.
@beckywapper8134 Fantastic performance! Congrats!!!
Thank you so much Josh. I just received my score 106. Which is more than enough to enroll to the masters program of my dreams. I only had 10 days guys. I only did what Josh told me to. Studied his templates and his tips. Just listen to all of his tips for all four sections. Do his exercise tests here on youtube. If you dont have any grammar problems you should be okay to get the grade you wish from the test. Thanks again to the TST Prep I'll never forget your contributions to my career. ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words. It would be a HUGE help if you could leave a review on Trust Pilot - es.trustpilot.com.

Dear Josh, I sincerely hope you see this message. I'm thrilled to share that I scored 110 out of 120 on my TOEFL IBT exam! None of this would have been possible without people like you, who generously provide high-quality TOEFL materials and lessons for free.
Please know how much your existence as a teacher has transformed the lives of thousands, including mine.

how long have you been prepared?
@@БекмаматТагаев-и8о I had 10 months to prepare, which was a lot of time, but I wasn't able to study consistently every day. I only started focusing and studying more than 2 hours a day when there were 2 months left.

Hello Josh,
I scored 105 on the TOEFL thanks to your tips and templates.
I got :
Reading 29 Listening 24 Speaking 24 Writing 28
Thank you :D
Great news and happy to hear you have earned the score you needed!
Hi all, just want to say big thank you to Josh. I got an excellent score in the TOEFL and many of his tips and mock tests were essential to my performance. Wishing him all the best.
For those taking his mock tests, I personally belive that they are high level - and sometimes more difficult than the toefl itself - so I think they are a good way to prepare if you have less than a month to prepare.
Cheers!
Hey! Thanks for taking the time to leave such a nice comment. Much appreciated :)
Dear Josh, thank you very much! I watched all your videos for a week and scored 106 out of 120 on my toeflibt test! Your lessons are wonderful

So I took the test 5 days ago and got a R30 L29 which was unexpected cause the highest i got in mock tests were 27 at best. I need an overall of 100 and now i am kinda freaking out if i will get at least 20 & 21 in S & W ..... I don't even remember how it all went down but time CANNOT go any faster ! wish me luck josh and thanks for all the tips ... it helped tremendously !
That’s great news about your reading and listening scores! I hope you get the score you need.
TST Prep’s materials are such a lifesaver - I scored 27 on Speaking and 29 on Writing thanks to the templates here with 4 days of preparation 🎉
I don't have energy to study. May God help me

Yooo. Just wanted to drop off and say that yor videos have been extremely helpful in adapting to the new test especially that there aren't much free resources adapted the new test yet. So yea these have been super helpful and definitely played a part in my score. I Got a 110/120 with a really surprising 30 in speaking 😊

Thank you so much josh♥️. Your templates and tips help me to achieve my required TOEFL score. I got 25 in writing and 22 in speaking. I was quite weak in these sections but I used your templates in the test day and it boosts my score significantly.
In the listening section also, I used to practice your videos and I was so confident in the test day that I would get 25 in listening. But I mistakenly left unfinished some questions by mistake ( not because of time management ) and got 20. Anyway, your videos were extremely helpful for my preparation.
Thanks for the comment and happy to help :)
Could you tell me what was the level of your English?
Thank you so much. This is very helpful
Thanks a lot.Scored 25 in W using your templates

Hey, sorry for the interruption.
I am a 24-year-old student and I was selected for the Global Exchange Program through Erasmus to study at a University in Japan.
To be honest, it feels like a dream come true. However, there's an issue: the university requires a minimum score of 79 on the TOEFL, and I recently took the test and scored 74 (11 in reading, 19 in listening, 23 in speaking, and 21 in writing). I would like to know if there are any ways to improve my score to meet the minimum requirement of 79.
The challenges I faced in the reading section were mainly related to 1) time management, 2) vocabulary, and 3) the similarity between answer choices. The most difficult part was the questions where I had to put sentences in the correct order or identify where a specific text fits best in a paragraph.
I’ve already started watching RUclips videos to improve my score, but I’m scared of failing again and having to pay the same amount for the third time without knowing if I’ll score better or worse than before.
Thank you for your help.
First of all, I am sorry to hear about your score, I am sure it is frustrating. Working with a teacher can save you time and stress. Check out our private lessons packages or at least try a 30-minute trial lesson for more personalized help and guidance. Here is the link if you are interested. - tstprep.com/store/toefl/
Thanks for everything.
Hi Josh, i prepared for TOEFL from your as well as other channels, i got my results before few days. I got 20+ in each section except writing. But i am in dilemma, I have performed well with all the tips you have suggested. Should I go to review the writing section or not? Kindly guide me 😢
After talking with hundreds of students about a rescore, I would say less than 5% of cases are successful, in other words, you can ask for a rescore, but it's very unlikely that it will change anything.
hey Josh, you are incredible. I have just a question should we use complex sentences or clear and simple sentences?
Another great question. If your level of English is high and you can use complex sentences with little or no errors, then that is better. However, if your writing is less than fluent, simple is better because too many mistakes in a complex sentence will cost you more points than a clear, simple answer.
Hi Josh,
I have a couple of questions regarding the TOEFL writing tasks. First, is it compulsory to write a conclusion at the end of the three body paragraphs in TOEFL Writing Task 1? Also, in Writing Task 2, is it acceptable to express my own opinion instead of referring to the opinions of the first and second students or opposing their views? Could you please clarify these for me?
Good question and no, it's not necessary. I do recommend a sentence or two because I find it strange to write an essay without a conclusion, but it's optional. As for task 2, I strongly suggest mentioning one of the other student’s opinions. However, according to ETS, you do not need to mention either of the other students.
I have a question. When writing can I write numbers in numerical forms or it is crucial to write the numbers in words
Great question, you shouldn't be deducted points but the general rule is that for numbers 1-10 they should be written out (one, two, three...) and anything 11 or greater can just be the numbers.
If there is any such thing like 650 C.E., 1990s, 16780 km. Can I just write these numbers numerically?
@@afridahasan9950 Hi there and thank you for asking. The general rule is that for numbers 1-10, they should be written out (one, two, three...) and anything 11 or greater can just be the numbers.
Hello, how are you my dear teacher? I hope that you are alright. Dear teacher, I have a strategy for developing my reading and listning sections' scores , and it is having done with practice tests I learn its words. Would you mind telling me whether it is good or not because I will take the test after 8 months.and for now I just make an enormous effort increase my reading and listning scores. In the reading section, I can average getting 7 to 8 questions right, but in the listning section, I can only average getting 13 questions right.can you tell me what my problem is? 🙏
Every student is unique, so it is hard for me to give advice to you in particular, but, you might want to try a trial lesson with one of our tutors for more personalized feedback and guidance. - tstprep.com/toefl-store/toefl-trial-lesson/
I need to score 22/30 in writing section. Please give me any tips. Should we use template or not in writing..? Is there any negative impact it have on checkers…?
Templates will help you organize your essay and save you time, but they are not the sole thing that helps you get a high score in the writing. You will need to use templates to showcase your own writing and ideas in order to score well.
Hi teacher, my exam is next saturday at 31/8 and am still struggling with academic discussion on the writing section can you please give me a template or posting a video about it? i will be thankful
I’m also taking the test on the same date 😅
Hi Sura and here is a link to a guide with templates - drive.google.com/file/d/1ZWv72rlPez6Iwt5Xk4GbhsZVDxkraJ9q/view. Hope this helps and best of luck on your test.
today is our day😅 , i'm so nervous @@prayashmohanty5857
@@TSTPrep thank you so much.
Hey Josh, how long do you recommend to write if I want to earn the most points?
There is no maximum length for your response. According to ETS, your integrated essay needs to be somewhere between 150-225 words. However, we find that students who write between 250 - 300 words score higher. As for Academic Discussion, aim to write 100-120 words or more. Hope this helps!
I am getting toefl tomorrow.
How did it go?
@@TSTPrep Very good, I got 103
Did you pay to pass it ?
@@Ab_Sc Congrats!
Dear Josh, how big difference is if we use advance over basic template on our score? Thank you.
You can earn a high score with either template. The advanced template is designed for students who continue to struggle to get higher than a 25 and part of the problem might be that their language is too simple, so the advanced template helps a little. In general, though, the most important part of your writing score is your own writing outside the template.
Greetings, I have a question?
Does having a conclusion affect our score?
Conclusions are optional for both the speaking and writing tasks (all of them). Use them if you have the time, but do not worry if you do not.
Is actual TOEFL questions harder than these practice tests on RUclips channels?
Well, while we try our best to match the level of difficulty as the real TOEFL iBT, some people feel that our tests are a bit easier. There are some other RUclips channels with TOEFL Reading practice, I would try them as well to see how you do.
Hii sirr, how many marks i will get for this sample answer . Please give me your feedback as i have my exam after 3 days..
The reading and lecturer both address the chances of sending humans to Mars. While the author mentions the obstacles humans could face during this space mission such as food and water scarcity, medicals issues in zero gravity region and effects of harmful solar radiation. The lecturer, in contrast, disputes these claims.
Firstly, the author highlights that there would not be enough space in the spacecraft to carry food and water required for this two years mission. The lecturer challenges this by stating that to grow food we could use the modern agriculture technology such as Hydroponics in which water is used instead of soil. He mentions that plants grown by this technique will also supply the oxygen and the waste water could also be recycled to clean water.
Secondly, the author contends that when astronaut will prone to zero gravity he will suffer major medical issues such as decrease of muscle mass and bone density. The lecturer counters this view by pointing out that by doing regular exercise we can maintain optimum muscle mass and by consuming multivitamins and calcium, the threat of low bone density would be overcome.
Finally, the author asserts that earth's magnetic field will be unable to save the spaceman from harmful solar radiations. The lecturer, however, argues that sun emit harmful radiations periodically and are more dangerous during the peak afternoon hours. Additionally, the lecturer mentions that spacecrafts can carry with them a light weight shield and a device to detect the rays. When these harmful rays are active, a scientist can shield himself from these rays.

What if it exceeds more than 300 words?
It's okay; the point is to give the best quality possible
There is no maximum length for your response. Based on our experience, students who wrote longer essays got higher scores.
Thank you, dude! I was really mad and nervous at the same time, because everytime I looked through the comments section everyone seemed to have an incredible score which I believed I wasn’t able to achieve lol. Turns out I did good too: R27 - L26 - S27 - W26 (I’m really grateful, 106 overall) thanks ✊
