TOEFL Tip: What makes low scores on TOEFL Test

Getting low scores on The TOEFL test is a reasonable thing if we do it at the first time. However that cannot be the reason for not studying materials before taking The TOEFL test. I think we should find out the problem which makes our scores on TOEFL getting lower.

The causes of getting low scores on The TOEFL test

Lack of Understanding about TOEFL itself

It is as telling a joke if you take The TOEFL test, but doesn't know what the test is used for or how the test is done. Taking the decision to follow the test automatically has been familiar with the test which will be faced. If not, you will be in trouble. You should find the definition about The TOEFL test or read the bulletin informing the TOEFL. The Bulleting about the TOEFL or Information about it can be read on this article. 

Lack of mastery on TOEFL materials

TOEFL Tips

Understanding materials on the TOEFL is very important because it is the main key to be able to do the questions on the TOEFL well. Without mastering the materials needed on the TOEFL test, it is impossible achieving the high points. If you are not ready to take the test, i suggest to wait for several times, preparing the materials first until you have enough understanding about TOEFL materials. The materials tested on TOEFL questions have differences depending on the section you are doing. As we know on TOEFL test has several section; Listening, Writing (Grammar), Reading, and also Speaking. So many materials you should know and be understood. So we must prepare early before having problem in doing the test.

Never taking Practice test

One cause of getting low scores on the TOEFL test is rarely to practice TOEFL simulations. Although you have mastered on every TOEFL materials without trying to take practice test, it's just waste your time. Taking simulation is needed to be used to doing the questions on each section on TOEFL exercises. To get The TOEFL practice test you should have materials that supporting you as learning-media. Here are my recommendations that you should have at least handbook or e-book to guide you on taking test or practice test.You should have The Longman TOEFL PBT, The Barron's TOEFLPBT & CBT 11th Edition, Barron's TOEFL 12th Edition, and Barron's 13theEdition. Those are the TOEFL books you should know and have.

Running out the time in the TOEFL exam

The other problem of getting low scores is that the participant doesn't have enough time to do the whole questions in each section although the questions have completely done. It becomes usual for participant to do the test on time even though they don't know whether they are sure with the answers. please be note that the times for doing the test for all section on The TOEFL test is about 1,5 hours for PBT test, 2,5 hours for IBT.

Running out the time on The TOEFL exam is caused by some factors.

The first, the participants may not understand with the directions in every section so that they must find out the meaning or get the hang of directions.

The second, they may not know which questions should be done at first or don’t have the knowledge that there are several questions that can be done easily; they would rather choose the opposite; doing difficult questions.   It’s so important to train organizing the time on Practice test before facing the real TOEFL exam. Because we have limited time on The TOEFL test, we should pay attention not only on material we learn but also on the time we have.

Because the reasons above, I will conclude the tips to make the points on The TOEFL test no longer getting lower.
