How can TOEFL review be improved from 77 to 100?

TOEFL High Score Raiders: From 77 to 100, prepare for exams and share experiences.

TOEFL preparation is a long and boring process. Only when you can bear loneliness and have correct review methods can your TOEFL score be improved. Here, Bian Xiao brings you TOEFL test preparation experience and experience sharing from 77 to 100, hoping to help you improve your TOEFL score.

Let's talk about the result first: 28+26+22+24, which is the result of World War II.

Merit in World War I: 25+17+14+21.

Have you been diving in this version since you prepared for World War II? Many experiences in this version have given me a lot of experience and encouragement. Now I'm a second-year graduate student in China. Because of various chores in the laboratory, I don't have time to review (only then can I know that the abundant time of undergraduate course is precious, and my younger brothers and sisters must cherish it), which leads me to put the review time mainly on the third anniversary holiday when I am fully prepared for the New Year. Plus ten days of review after New Year's Day and a week of coming to school, * * * has reviewed for about 40 days. From 77 to 100, I feel that there are some successful experiences, and the lessons of failure can be shared with all comrades, which is one of the original intentions of this post. There are not many people preparing for TOEFL, so I have a lot to say and share with others. This is the second original intention of this post. It's been nearly nine months since I started preparing for G in July last year, and it's finally over. Making a stage summary is the third original intention of this post.

Tell me about my review background

In the second year of domestic graduate students, Grade 4, Grade 498 and Grade 6 just crossed the line three times, and they took the postgraduate entrance examination English 74, GRE151+170+3.

From slag to explosion, before and after World War I, the only thing I had confidence in was reading. Don't you think it's difficult? I can still get points, but other feelings are hopeless, especially listening? And spoken English. Against this background, I started the painful and tangled World War II.

Talking about reading

It seems that I don't have much experience in reading, because I took the GRE test and said that I have a little confidence in reading, so World War II was mainly about brushing.

Tpo, after brushing ten sets, it is basically above 25, but the wrong questions are mainly vocabulary and the last summary question. Then I stop to recite words, mainly brush a wide range of soul-killing words and machine classics, and then do it after brushing the questions, which are basically above 27.

It's good to read long sentences.

The experience of reading in the examination room is, don't click to continue too fast after entering, or you will be disturbed by other people's microphones, and of course don't listen too slowly? Will be affected again.

Tell me about it?

The most time spent in World War II was listening? Well, you also saw me listen to World War I? Before World War I, it was mainly dictation. At first, the effect was obvious, but soon I couldn't feel the progress, so I began to use intensive listening in World War II. There was a post in the edition that analyzed several methods. Very good.

The whole review progress

1. 60 seconds of science, because the old support was used up in World War I, sss was used directly in World War II, and intensive listening in the early stage was blood abuse. Not to mention the speed, the professional vocabulary of sss is incomprehensible or even incomprehensible, but I just stick to it, because I know that there must be words that I can't understand or even understand in actual teaching, so I have to be familiar with and learn to deal with such problems. After listening for ten days (that is, reviewing the ten days after New Year's Day)

Obviously, I feel that the sentences I hear are slowing down, and I slowly learn how to deal with unfamiliar nouns, because important nouns are generally described in the text, and it may not be important if they are not described. I think this will do? Very important. P.S.SSS is also very different. Generally, the paragraphs in the direction of mind and health are longer and the text is simpler. You can practice this direction first.

2.tpo, from ten days of intensive listening to formal review, there is basically no practice in the middle month. From February 7, the review officially began, and TPO was officially finished. Don't worry about wasting materials.

A. At first, the review rhythm is to practice intensive listening in the morning (usually the set of tpo practiced yesterday), and then do a set of tpo. After about ten days of practice, I gradually got used to the length and speed of tpo, and I can basically listen to most articles. How is tpo's hearing these days? Basically, it can be guaranteed to be around 2 1 minute.

B. I didn't feel any progress after doing it for a while, just because I stopped reviewing on the 30 th and the first day of the New Year's Day, and adjusted the order when I started again. I made tpo first every morning, and then I made this set of tpo materials today. During this period, I increased the speed of tpo to 1.3 times. After practicing for two days, I began to slow down, try to listen to the details, and then pay special attention to the part I did wrong, because I didn't hear it clearly the first time. I think this is a process of finding the wrong questions, and the review during the period can basically guarantee to get about 23 points.

C. then it collapsed at tpo20, and that set was directly 17, as soon as it returned to before liberation. Then several sets were not ideal, which led me to even doubt my life ... Cause analysis: these sets were a little more difficult, and some details were not clear. Even though I heard a lot of information, I began to make more subjective inferences (logically, it seems more likely) between an option I heard and an option I didn't hear. After discovering the problem, I began to ponder the solution. There were still about two weeks before the exam. Considering that writing and oral English will be given later, it seems unrealistic to continue practicing before I can hear all the details, so I have to come up with an opportunistic method: when I encounter an option, which includes a heard information and a seemingly reasonable option, I will see if the words and information in that heard option are too difficult for me to hear or understand. If it is really difficult, I will choose this one. After practice, this skill is actually more useful. This period of time is basically stable at around 25.

Reviewing at home is basically like this. In the first week of school, I stopped listening attentively, but put tpo on mp3, even on the day of the exam, and I promised to fill my ears before doing the questions. This is a little experience.

Listen. My experience in the examination room is that the exam is simpler than the usual model exam. First, I am more focused than the tpo model test, because I don't take notes, so I am accurate. More demanding. Second, is there a map for the formal exam? Showing those academic terms in the lecture is very helpful to clarify the logic of the article. Third, you can take a good look at the classic exam, and you can finish it early in the examination room and adjust your time to go out to rest. I think it is more appropriate for ordinary people in the classroom to go out, so that you won't be ashamed of speaking too early and too late … ..

Talking about oral English Although the score of oral English is the most obvious, this experience is really limited. What if? If you have to say one thing, it is "practice".

At first, I really couldn't start practicing oral English until I started practicing unscrupulously and slowly began to feel it.

For the first two questions, I mainly used supercomputer classics. I didn't finish practicing, but I felt it again after practicing for three or four days. As many people say, slowly began to find that there are paragraphs that can be applied everywhere.

The last four questions are mainly tpo, and I have practiced less than 20 sets, drawing lessons from the green version of oral posts and tpo oral recording.

At the beginning, I mainly have something to say, and at the end, I have to consider time and other factors.

In fact, after the exam, because the fourth question was clearly stated, it is estimated that the highest score is 20. I didn't expect this score, but I always feel lucky.

The experience in the oral examination room is that we must control the speed of speech, pay attention to adjusting the rhythm, and not necessarily pursue more. One of my classmates who took the exam on the same day, the other two parts were fair, and the first part was limited. We analyzed each other and thought it was because we spoke too fast and wanted to talk too much, so the judges couldn't hear clearly.

Speaking of writing, I basically bid farewell to talking about experience in this score. If I want to say, I only have classes.

1. We must pay attention to comprehensive writing. One of my classmates got 26, and the other got 24.

2. Comprehensive writing must attach importance to logic, in which information is heard, but the writing lacks logic. Leading to this embarrassing score.

Although it is important to write independently, I hope to ensure as many words as possible? On the premise of sufficient quality, the number of words is not as important as many people say. This time I typed 5 10, and my score was not high.

Talking about machine classics

During World War II, I started reading machine classics about a week in advance, reading oral English and writing. As a result, I only got the fourth question in oral English, which happened to be the worst question I answered in oral English, because I began to look for it in my memory at the moment I saw the question, which led me to understand nothing in the reading part.

I think it's more important to practice with computer classics than not, especially for independent oral questions, and it's still useful to practice with computer classics to respond.

Talk about outside the exam.

1. TOEFL review must learn psychological adjustment. My main off-duty review time is during the Spring Festival and winter vacation, and all kinds of classmates get together around me, but I can't help but refuse because of the review. It happened that the score of tpo20 fell instead of rising. At that time, I was in a good mood and even began to doubt my choice, but I told myself again and again that my choice must be valuable and finally survived that period. Including the day before the exam, I received a critical email from an American teacher. I was in a bad mood, but I told myself that if I couldn't get a letter of recommendation, I would do well in the exam. That's why I went to the examination room.

2. To review TOEFL, you must learn to multitask. I'm talking about various activities in the laboratory, but you must have your own theme in the whole review process. Multitasking doesn't let you solve all the problems at the same level, but you should know your priorities and review TOEFL. Even if other things are delayed, we should finish the task of the day.

3. TOEFL review must learn to resist temptation. Actually, I'm not qualified to say that, but I can guarantee that only TOEFL-related content will be on my computer desktop and taskbar during the review.

4. Adjust the timetable. Since the formal review, I have promised to get up at 7: 30 every day. The simulation must start around 9 o'clock, and finally there will be a good result. There must be a national bonus.

5. Know your own state, don't deceive yourself, only you know the degree of review.

6. Be sure to learn to summarize. Don't focus on tpo. If you don't always sum up, it will be wasted.

7. Expect the best and prepare for the worst. In fact, I have put all the money from World War III into my account, and I haven't stopped reviewing after the exam.

8. The problem of time and efficiency, pre-review, may not guarantee efficiency, and then ensure time, after review, efficiency will gradually come up, which may also be a process from quantitative change to qualitative change.

Concluding remarks

I said a lot of useless things in a daze, but it was really my review status. I know the final score must be lucky, but I appreciate my efforts to make such progress. I'm not narcissistic.

The theme of the next stage has become scientific research, compared with Nu? To add a few more points, I think it may be more meaningful to make achievements and send an article on applying for a doctorate.

TOEFL review is really painful, but the gains are not limited to exams (it is meaningful to watch American dramas without subtitles)

Of course, my review experience may not have universal significance, but if you can get some inspiration from it, even if it is only emotional encouragement, it is my pleasure.

Thank all the owners of posts that inspired me, my family and friends who helped me, and my best wishes to everyone. Reviewing friends has good grades!

Speaking of which, the application road is still very long, but the road is too long to run seriously!
