Congratulations on your purchase of the most advanced test-taking manual for the TOEFL. Notice I did not say study guide- there are plenty of decent study guides on the market, but that was not our objective in writing this manual. Our goal is to seek and exploit specific weaknesses in the TOEFL assessment, and then share those secrets with our customers.
Prepare, Don’t Procrastinate.
Let me state an obvious fact: if you take the TOEFL three times, you will get three different scores. This is due to the way you feel on test day, the level of preparedness you have, and, despite TOEFL’s claims to the contrary, some tests WILL be easier for you than others.
Since your acceptance and qualification for scholarships will largely depend on your score, you should maximize your chances of success. On most standardized tests, that means you can take the test multiple times and only report your best score for an application for admission. The TOEFL works differently.
