TOEFL: Reading Time Management Tips

The reading section is the first part of the TOEFL test. For many students, the biggest challenge of this section is time management. Fortunately, you can help maximize student success with the following tips to ensure your students know how to make the most of their limited time.

Understanding the TOEFL Listening Section

To score well on the TOEFL iBT exam, students need to know what to expect on test day. For the listening section of the TOEFL exam, students should know how to interpret and summarize academic conversations. It’s important to help your student understand the types of questions that appear on the test and how they are structured. This will make the TOEFL more predictable and help maximize your student’s success.

Understanding the TOEFL Speaking Section

Many international students find that the speaking section is where they need the most practice. Fortunately, the questions in the TOEFL speaking section are somewhat predictable. If your student understands the contents and design of the questions, they’ll feel much more confident on test day!

Understanding the TOEFL Writing Section

The writing section comes at the very end of the TOEFL exam. Your student will have about fifty minutes to write two essays. That’s a lot of writing, but you can make it easier for your students by training them on the structure and content of this section before they take the test.
