My TOEFL Experience

Few days back on 4th May I took the TOEFL Test in Lahore Pakistan. Before taking the test I thought it wold be something very tough and specially for people like us who are not native speakers... but it was not that much difficult.

ETS has now introduced a new system for TOEFL, that is TOEFL iBT and when you do it online there are many things which you can say are flaws,

In the reading section you have the option to jump through the questions and when you click on the NEXT or BACK button the computer takes some time to load the new page. During this time period you can read the text as it is still shown on the screen. In this way you are reading when the time is not actually running out.

Thanks to slow speed Internet in Pakistan.

A similar trick you can use in listening questions but nothing in Speaking and Writing.... therefore practice them a lot.

All the best...

Thank for sharing your experience of TOEFL. I am planning of writing it in Karachi.Do you say that internet based is better then hand written one because it gives you more time?
