TOEFL Exam Success in Only 6 Steps

Elizabeth Chesla
(LearningExpress)

"Because your score on the TOEFL exam can determine whether or not you are accepted into an academic institution or program, it is important to prepare carefully for the exam. As you have probably noticed, there are dozens of TOEFL exam preparation books available in libraries and bookstores. Most of these books provide you with practice TOEFL exams to help you become familiar with the format of the test. But taking practice TOEFL exams will do little to boost your score if what you really need is to improve your basic English skills.

That’s exactly how this book can help you. The goal of LearningExpress®’s TOEFL® Exam Success is fourfold:

1. To explain the format of each section of the TOEFL exam.

2. To offer specific test-taking strategies that you can use on the exam.

3. To review the basic reading, writing, and listening skills you need to do well on each section.

4. To provide exercises that help you build the basic skills and practice the test-taking strategies you learn in each section.

Building your English reading, writing, and listening skills is important, of course. But before addressing these specific skill sets, this book takes you through a review of basic study skills and learning strategies. It also helps you prepare a detailed study plan. The stronger your study skills, and the better you understand learning strategies, the more you will get out of each skill-building chapter.

Each skill-building chapter of this book includes several practice exercises, and detailed answers and explanations are provided in Appendix A. Appendix B offers an extensive list of resources to help you further strengthen your basic skills. Chapter 6 provides general information about the TOEFL exam, including notes about registration and scoring."
