7 Tips to Pass TOEFL ITP
TOEFL is a common test for foreign speaker to measure their capability of English literacy and how well they can use the language and on what level. TOEFL has two kind of test, TOEFL ITP and iBT. Their differences lies in their purposes and their measurement. TOEFL ITP measures your listening, grammar, and reading competencies in an academic setting. So TOEFL ITP has purposes only to be used for academic requirements. On the contrary, TOEFL iBT can be used for any purposes like academic and professional and it adds speaking and writing test.
Just this month, I have taken the TOEFL ITP test for the first time. I want to share some things I have learnt when successfully reached my own target:
1. The listening part are pronounced in a speed I still couldn't hear clearly.
To overcome this, you need to improve listening on advanced English listening section from CD, radio, video, talk show, lectures, etc. Proceed from average speed to fast. Capture the meaning and get used. It is actually an easy question and answer but the difficulty lies on whether you can precisely listen and picture the actual condition it tells despite the variation of dialects and tone of speaking
2. Be careful when you are looking on the answer sheet.
Remember the number of question you are in and carefully search the multiple choices based on the number of question. Don't miss the right answer on wrong place. Before the listening begin for the next question, put your attention to the multiple choices of the next number.
3. Get used in listening many academic setting/lectures on various disciplines.
I could hear more clearly only in the field I really mastered in, such as environment and health. I am still lacking in politics, tech, and method-explained lectures. So you can begin by watching international news about global issues, listening podcasts or download some CD about advanced English listening practices.
4. Structure and written, you need to study more on grammar and its various uses.
To harness your sensitivity towards each word on its rightful position and uses I should practice my writing. I could only think ways, by noting down lectures or begin blogging. If you’re not that really into writing, try your capability by answering questions in English, such as in Quora or any other platform. I also recommend an application called Knudge.me. I found it really useful because it has easy explanation and interesting learning method.
5. On reading comprehension, time is limited.
You only have 1 minute to solve one question excluding time needed to read the text. The text is around 3 paragraphs and 30 lines. It is still understandable and not quite difficult because I can still find the main topic and the interesting details. The problem lies on the time. To successfully read and understand the text completely you need to read it not more than 5 minutes. Let’s begin the calculation..
In one section consist of 50 questions, there are 6 passages of texts so it would be 30 minutes to understand deeply. But after that, you only have 25 minutes to solve the 50 questions. But, not all 50 questions required deep analysis of the text, around 3 of 8 questions from 1 passage of text are questions regarding word meaning and its synonym. If you can effectively use the 5 minutes to understand the text, you can solve 3 questions in 30 seconds. So, if that is so happened, you have completed the time to solve 18 questions in 6 minutes. You still have around 19 minutes to solve 32 questions.
6. Another skill needed to win this reading section is by remembering the text.
After you have successfully read the text, you have to remember all of it to solve 8 questions later. So if you need time to carefully read the text again, save 2 minutes on the divided time of 5 minutes. So your initial reading time for one passage is not 5 minutes but 3 minutes and another 2 minutes can be used to reread the text later.
The questions mainly ask about:
· Main topic of the passage
· Word x in line x has its closest meaning to…
· Word x in line x can be referred to..
· The statement of …indicate that..
· Why this event happened… (with another answers that are not exactly written on the text)
· The following statement is true based on the passage, EXCEPT..
· Which one of the following statement is true based on the text?
7. Last reminder, because time is limited so you need to be certain of your answer right away and fill in the answer sheet.
Because it is a PBT (Paper Based Test), I recommend the technique when you're filling the alphabet to begin with marking the alphabet in the center and then circle it to its perimeter. Remember, you've to treasure the time so minimize your mistakes in time taken to erase a wrong answer or improper marking and fill again the best answer.
That’s all the tips I think we need to improve a TOEFL ITP score and prepared for the next battle. Happy studying!
