Toefl scores released!

I recently uploaded a thread here commenting that my writing wasn’t satisfactory at all for me, because I couldn’t finish properly writing an email. But fortunately my scores were fine, just posting here for someone in the future.

R: 6
L: 6
W: 5
S: 4.5

I struggled with speaking part because I couldn’t focus the way I’m used to, since I got this bad feeling about writing. In official mock tests speaking was 5-5.5. But yeah, listen and repeat probably downgraded me because of anxiety.

However, if I could give my 2 cents: stay focused on the test, and when switching to other tasks, don’t think about those that are already gone. You will manage to score well. I used TestGlider, scoring a mean of 4.5 initially, but improved to 5.0 on the later 4 exams. If you have any questions, please leave in the comments. I’m not a teacher, far from their capacity, but I’m a student that can help a bit — I guess. 🙂

Please, be honest

I just took my TOEFL exam, and well, I did well on listening and reading (both 6/6). But unfortunately, when writing an email, I couldn’t finish it well. My ending was “sincerely, John Do”, since i introduced myself as John Doe.
My shift wasn’t accounted, so capitalization in sincerely was wrong, and my name wasnt complete. However, I trained with ranges of 4.5-5 on test glider, so the body of the test was satisfactory, I guess, with ~160 words. But this ending was my bomb, for sure. Will they grade it like shit?
I think that academic discussion and build a sentence went well, but whatever.
