great teacher, thank you very much

I am improvint

I took this course and the TOEFL in October, so I would like to share my experience, as I think it might be helpful. There are some things I want to point out first: 1. I had already taken an English certification test before (the Duolingo English test, or DET). 2. If you do not want the "mucho texto" that is coming, I am telling you ahead that I do recommend this course. At the end of my comments are some suggestions for the test. 3. I will not describe or talk about the topics/questions I had in my test. I will be talking about my experience and my expectations vs. reality. In regards to this course: I found it pretty helpful. Understanding the type of question and structure of the test allows you to better analyze and answer the questions during the real test. Thanks to this course, I noticed I had an opportunity to work on inference questions and worked on them a little bit more. The contents of the courses are the same as those you find in the test; there are no hidden sections or extra questions. The topic will always be different. In regards to the TOEFL: During the test, I spent the first hour setting up the check-in and some previous steps before taking the test. I had some technical issues with my camera and some permission for the live monitoring, but the proctors gave you assistance on that kind of matter. The test took me about 2 hours to complete. I believe the longest section is the reading, followed by the listening section. The speaking and writing were the shortest ones for me. During the reading and listening section, you can skip a question and answer it at the end if you have the time. In the speaking section, if I remember well, you have only one chance to record your speech. For the writing section, you have the time mentioned in the course to redact the essays; there is a word counter in the test. About five days later, I obtained my results. I had an overall score of 104 points, and the sections were scored the following way: Reading 29, Listening 29, Speaking 23, and Writing 23 I think that the results are aligned with my real ability in English. If I were to be asked if this course helped me get these results, I would say yes. Thanks to the course, I did not encounter anything unexpected during the test, and I was able to apply a proper strategy to understand the questions and identify the correct answers. In the end, the course will help you scan and understand the test, but it is your current level of English that will give you the proper results. There are some recommendations for the test: 1. Practice is key; try to answer the questions by checking your notes from the course, and then try with new questions without them. Do not push yourself too hard; take your time during your practice to properly identify the type of questions and deduce the proper answer. The ETS website and some other websites have free resources to practice. 2. Make sure to appoint your test with plenty of advance. I had to pay a late fee for enrollment because the date I chose was too close. 3. Make sure you are all set for the day of the test. Your room, your hardware, and some other things, such as your ID card, would need to accomplish some conditions. 4. Make sure you have at least 3 to 4 hours to take the test; there might be some delays due to tech issues at the beginning. 5. I strongly recommend getting a whiteboard to write your notes on. You will appreciate your notes a lot. 6. Do not be afraid; you already have the knowledge. I encourage you to take this challenge; you have everything you need, and once you get your results, you will feel satisfied.
