I heard that some people use a website to improve all 6 aspects of English that are required in the toefl test, please let me know its name if you are aware of it so that i can be ready for it , thanks

It wasn't hard at all in general, I just struggled with the listening part because I couldn't focus after a point since I have add. At the end it said Reading: 6 Listening: 5. I'm kinda excited to find out rest of my scores.

I have an upcoming TOEFL test and I’m trying to improve my writing skills. Since the Writing section is completed on a computer which I don’t bother me because I’m used to it, would it be better to practice by typing on paper, or can writing on computer would still be beneficial?

So I messed up and am realising pretty late.

I am writing this at midnight, 12 hours before my speaking exam starts. My passport number is wrong (which I fed in the system during registeration)

I am unable to edit my passport number in the DVS section atm. I have mailed IDP India, but I am afraid that their response will not arrive at this hour and I will have to resolve this in the physical center.

Has this occurred with anyone and how does it play out. I am speechless right now.

You advice or direction will give me a clearer scope of possibilities that can play out tomorrow.

I’ve been speaking English for like 3 years now, not that good really so id say that am around b2, i can hold basic conversations and read and write really decently, my only weak point is that my pronunciation needs some work so i need advice on how to improve my speech and grow my vocabulary and advice on how to prepare for the exam since am gonna take it in a couple of months, thanks

Hi everyone, is anyone also experiencing a problem today while trying to download the toefl application through the toefl website? Specifically when pressing on windows or mac button to download the installer, an error on the redirected page comes out “404 - Not found”, making impossible to download the application. I had the fear an hour ago and I couldn’t hold it. I called the assistance and they told me to send an email with a screenshot of the error.

i did the toefl ibt today and during my reading section the proctor started talking to me and not only freaked me out but said something was wrong so i stopped the test to try to figure it out and i lost 7 minutes and a lot of reading questions.

she was basically talking to someone else and not me and didnt mind letting me know.
i got a screwed up reading score and got super angry throughout the rest of the test.

i just need a b2 score which i think i would get. does it help in any way complaining for this bullshit?

i almost cried during the exam because the proctor screwed up the easiest part and didnt provide any help.

Hi recently took a TOEFL IBT and received the following scores:
I am confused if this score is considered by US universities. I was targeting thr CMU for the upcoming spring 2027, but seeing this low score is disappointing.

I had 9/10 correct for the word-arranging task. While I completed both tasks, I didn't have time to check for spelling mistakes (although I remembered that there was no spell check. But as my typing is a bit slow, I probably wrote fewer words(greater than the minimum). In mock tests, I received 4.5 for writing.
Should I submit the writing scores for review? There are only 15 days left for applications; would it be a good decision to take?

As per official TOEFL score mapping
5.0 in reading is 24-26
5.5 in listening is 26-27
3.5 in writing is 15-16
5.0 in speaking is 25-26

Even if we consider the upper bound of all scores, it doesn't make 100. How did they give me 100 as the total score, which ideally should be around 95?

Hello all, I passed my toefl ibt home edition on 28th July first my scores were cancelled after that on 3 august I recieved an email says that my scores are under administrative review .

I really did not cheat or miss behave I passed the entire month preparing for it I just had issue with the second camera during the test so I relogin multiple times . I would appreciate any help.

Hello, i have been trying to install the toefl test app but everytime that I press the link to the windows installer in the webpage it gives me a "404 not found" error.

has this happened to any of you?

I just took my TOEFL, and I have two questions:

How long does it usually take for the official scores to come out?

Are the unofficial scores shown right after the test usually the same as the final official scores, or can they change?

For those who took the TOEFL recently, did your unofficial scores change when you received your official results?
