TOEFL PRACTICE TEST : BEFORE YOU TAKE THE TEST

It's important to prepare well for big tests - especially for exams like the TOEFL, IELTS or Cambridge First Certificate (FCE). This guide will help you take steps towards doing your very best on the big day.
Know Your Test
First things first: Find out about the test! Reading test specific preparation materials will help you understand your strengths and weaknesses on specific topic areas covered in the test. Understanding which types of problems are easiest and which are most difficult will help you develop a study plan for the test. While developing your plan, take note of grammar, vocabulary, listening, speaking and writing expectations. Also take note of specific exercise types on your exam.
