I watched your videos a day before my Special Home Edition test was scheduled and they helped me a lot in understanding what to expect on the exam day as well as while answering each section. This video gave me confidence that a 115+ score was achievable and I managed to score a 117 with R-28, L-29, S-30, W-30! Thanks again for your videos :)
Congratulations!! 117 is an amazing score! You can be so proud of yourself :). I'm so glad to hear that they were helpful to you. Have a great day!
Thank you Juva, your videos are great. I have an upcoming home edition exam in a few days and I already feel nervous. Wish me luck!:)
Hi Pinar, thank you so much, I'm so glad you like them :). I know how you feel, I was also sooo nervous before taking it - but don't worry, everything will be fine. I wish you all the best for your exam!
How was your test Pinar?
I love this!! thank you for sharing I tried to share my thoughts on the exam as well some time ago and I am very happy to see many people are also doing that, it is something I needed so much while preparing for my exam
Thank you so much Sarah! I had the same feeling while preparing for the TOEFL - watching videos explaining how it works was immensely helpful to me. That's why I decided to talk about my experience.
Juva, thanks for the videos. What you've said about speaking templates is very strong. I usually change something in a comfortable way to me.
You're so welcome Luana! I'm glad you like them. That's amazing that you do that! I realised that it's a lot easier to remember words if you feel comfortable using them because they're familiar to you. It makes studying a lot more effective :)
I just found your channel. To be honest, I'm considering your channel as one of the best channels for me to boost my English dealing with TOEFL preparation test. Thank you..
Welcome :) I'm so glad you like the channel!
Thank you Juva for your amazing videos. I watched your videos a lot these days. I have a test in 2 weeks and I am so nervous right now.:')
I'm so glad you like them :). Being nervous is totally normal, don't worry! The TOEFL is a challenge. Always remember that you can do this!
Thanks Juva! such helpful recommendations. You have helped me a lot!
Happy to help! :)
Thanks for sharing so good tips! Your content is awesome!
You are so welcome! Glad you like it :)

Hey Juva, thanks for all the help and content you're providing selflessly. I appeared for the TOEFL today and received unofficial scores (R-27 & L-28). I'm very hopeful to get my desired scores, now. Cheers!

Thanks a lot, Juva.❤️
I'm so happy you liked it :)
I really enjoy this video Juva. You're amazing. I will take your tips. Could you recomend some templates to me?
I'm so glad you like it Gaz. Have a look at my playlists for TOEFL Writing and TOEFL Speaking. You can find several templates there :).
Hey Juva i New here. Ur energy is amazing. İ am studying TOEFL but my level is very low. My Target is 80 + i hope i can handle this. Nice to see your vids. İ will watch all of them. Thanks about everything.
Hey Köşe, welcome to the channel! :) Don't worry, you can do this! Have a look at my playlists and pick the videos you need. If you have any questions, put them in the comments, I'll be happy to answer them :).
Thank you so much for all the videos you've worked on. I prepared only with your videos for two weeks, and I got R:24 L:23 S:24 W:24 in my first attemp. You are awesome.
Congratulations Janet! Your scores are awesome, you can be so proud of yourself! I'm so glad I could help :).
Very nice tips!

Thank you so much Jésus :). You can absolutely do this!
Thanks a lot, I need to score 87 as a minimum requirement for something important. God Blesses you. I am taking every single note of your video. Greets from Peru.
I'm so glad the video is helpful to you! Greetings from Oxford :).
Do tyou think that the free online and TH-cam ( like your channel) available material is enough? Thank you Juva! Waiting for more :)) just subscribed for your channel!
I'm so happy you liked it :) It should definitely be enough for understanding the test format and getting an idea of how to structure your answers. If you need more content, for example, regarding vocabulary and grammar, it may be sufficient but perhaps you may want to have a look at practice materials that are specifically suited to that need.
Perfect. Thank you
Glad it helped! :)
Hello, Juva, and thank you for your videos. I also listen to news and lectures to improve my listening skills. In addition, i listen to documentary films, which are produced by DW Documantary or The Economist. Another good source is a project "6 minutes English" by BBC learning English. I believe, that these all will help me to understand task from TOEFL and English in general better.
I'm so glad you like the videos. Thanks for sharing your experience! These are amazing ideas 😀.
I will take TOEFL next few days...love your videos so much and really helpful ...I hope I can get 100+ on TOEFL:)
I'm so glad you like them! Go for it, you can do this! :)
Thank you for the tips Juva! I am taking TOEFL tomorrow, I will get back to this comment section once I receive my scores :)
I wish you all the best for your TOEFL! Oh yeah, that's great, I'm already so excited :)
how did it go for you?
@@arlet101 it went just okay. I got two scores today, R: 29, L: 25. Speaking went alright, Writing was super fun and easy. The biggest pain is the people around. It happened with me in 2 Listening passages, I got distracted by the noise in the room and missed a lot. I will make a video sharing my experience in detail in the near future.
@@juva hey, your videos are really helpful Juva. Let's do a collab sometime, would love to feature you on my channel!
@@AbhishekSansanwal Congratulations! You scores are amazing! I'm so sorry for you that there was so much noise during the listening section, it must have been really hard to focus. Sure, I'd love that.
Hi Juva, thank you so much for your videos! I prepared for 1.5 weeks with your videos and ended up scoring 117 with R-28, L-30, S-29, W-30 in my first attempt! Thanks again :)
Congratulations Anjali! Your scores are amazing, you can be so proud of yourself. I'm so glad I could help :).
Hey Anjali , congratulations 🎉
Can share your view how and where you prepared
Hi! Your videos have been helping me a lot. I've been watching many of them haha. So, first of all, thanks!
Did you take notes on your home edition exam? Any hints on that? Their rules on note-taking for the home edition are pretty annoying, in my opinion.
Hi Ramon! You're so welcome, I'm so glad they are helpful to you :). I took notes in the TOEFL Home Edition and used a transparency sheet and a non-permanent pen. My hands were pretty blue in the end :D but generally it was ok. I suggest that you practice taking notes and erasing before the test so that you feel comfortable. Hope this helps :)
Hello!! I have an upcoming TOEFL home test in a week, and this really helps a lot!! Thank you!!
I'm glad you liked it :) I wish you all the best for your TOEFL!
Hi Juva!! Just wanted to tell you I watched this same very video before I took the test one week ago and I was really scared, but I did it!! I finally had my scores (ten minutes ago), I have 101 overall (R: 27, L: 24, S: 26, W: 24), thought I would have more for Writing (used such a variety of vocabulary...), but that's fine for me :)
Hi Lauriane, Congratulations!! That's an amazing score! I'm so happy for you :) Have a great day!
Hi Juva! First, I want to thank you for your videos :). Also, I wanted a better look at how Toefl ibt Home Edition looks like, do you recommend any simulators?
Hi Brenda, I'm so glad you like them :). I'm afraid there is no TOEFL Home Edition simulator. However, don't worry, the TOEFL Home Edition looks like the TOEFL in the test center. There won't be any surprises. Hope this helps :)
Hi Juva! Thank you very much for this video. Very clear and organized. I'm doing the toefl test the next week (I'm nervous and preparing myself for it). Two questions:
1) Can you skip the questions and return to them later?
2) For the Writing and Speaking part will I be able to see the writing passage?
Thank you in advance for your comments! 🙏
Hi Carmen! I'm so glad you liked it :). It's totally normal to be nervous, the TOEFL is quite a challenge. Regarding your questions:
1) In the Reading section you can skip the questions and return to them later. When I took the test this was not possible in the Listening section. In the Speaking and Writing section, as far as I remember, when you click next you can't go back, but you also won't need to.
2) Yes, in the integrated writing task you will be able to see the reading, but you will not see the listening. In the independent task you will see the prompt.
Hope this helps :) I wish you all the best for your TOEFL! You can do this!
Hey , thanks for the amazing video:)
I wanted to ask that when can we schedule the test after registering with ETS?
Hi, I'm so glad you liked it :) You can schedule your test immediately after your registration.
Thanks for your help. god bless you
Thank you, I'm so happy you liked it!
Hello Juva, thanks to your incredibly helpful videos I scored 112/120 on the TOEFL test (home edition), thank you for helping me make my dream come true ❤️
Hello Emy, Congratulations! That's an amazing score! I'm so glad I could help
@@juva Thank’s!! I applied to a year abroad in the US to study the final year of my psychology degree , I hope I will be selected and that the coronavirus won’t be a problem.. have a great day !
@@emyrivalin7727 Wow, that's so exciting! I wish you all the best for your application and that you can go there. Have a great day too :)
Thank you so much. :)
You're welcome! :)
Hello juva,
I honestly want to thank you for always answering on the questions that i ask and for your hard work.i was having troubles with the writing section because i will do my test for the third time because of it.i always try to put new words in the writing and i know that the examples and the reasons i’m writing are good ones but i always score 20 and i really can’t figure out the reason.i tried to watch your video to get some tips and i noticed that you’ve used examples from your life but in my last exam they told me not to put examples from my own experience.i want to do the test for one more time because i want to complete the documents for uni registration and i’m still struggling with toefl ibt.
Hello Ayche, I'm so glad you like it 😀. It's totally fine to use personal examples. I did that in my TOEFL and I scored 30/30 in TOEFL Writing. To figure out where you lose points, ask yourself these questions: Do you use a broad range of vocabulary and complex grammar? Do you use good sentence starters? A template is really helpful here, so you may want to consider using one. Check out my TOEFL Writing playlist, where you can find strategies and sample answers. If you have any questions, put them in the comments, I'll be happy to answer them.
You are simply awesome❤️❤️i will use your tips and i know that it’ll help me improve🙏🏻wish u the best juva
Thank you Juva! My test is tomorrow morning! I'll update this comment with my score! :) greetings
You're so welcome Karmina! I wish you all the best for your TOEFL test! I'd love to know your scores :)
Score??
Hi Juva, i have a question. Are you able to write down your template during the break (right before the speaking task), or do you have to show the instructor clean notes before you start the tasks? Would you have enough time to write down your templates during the speaking instructions?
Cheers!
Hi, you can't write down your template during the break for two reasons. First, you are not allowed to do so. Second, you wouldn't have the time to do that anyway. As soon as one tasks ends the next one starts. Therefore, it's very important that you memorize the template.
This video makes me feel that I can achieve a very high record of the TOEFL 🤗
I'm so glad you like it :) You can definitely do this!
Thanks for sharing. Would you like to share what sources you use to study or prepare yourself before the test?
I used a mix of online resources, mainly TH-cam videos and websites which explained the test format. I didn't have much time to prepare and these resources helped me get an idea about the test in an efficient way. Just look for videos regarding the respective section you want to know more about.
Hi Juva! Thank you for all your tips! The way you express your experiences during the exam makes us feel like we already took it also :). I’m planning on taking the TOEFL home edition myself and I was wondering if 2 weeks of preparation is enough to score a 115+. Thank you for your response in advance, have a nice day :)
Hi Dominic, I'm so glad you liked it!
2 weeks is enough if you work efficiently. I also had not much time to prepare. Here are my tips:
1. Check out the test format for each section.
2. Find your weak spots - this shows you what you need to focus on.
3. Create Templates for Speaking and Writing, and memorize them - this is done very quickly if you understand what the tasks are about. (Have a look at my video about the integrated writing task, you can also download a template there: th-cam.com/video/KvBauox4auk/w-d-xo.html ).
4. Get a feeling for the Reading section - you should know how much time you have for each passage so that you don't have problems due to the time constraints in the exam.
I wish you all the best for your preparation :). You can do this!
I see, thank you so much Juva! Your videos about the TOEFL exam really helps us! Glad I found your channel. Have a nice day :)
@@DominicIsaac Dominic, I'm so happy they are helpful to you! I wish you an amazing day as well! :)
Hi juva.. this video is really helpful.can you please suggest where can we get practice tests for giving home edition.. thanks in advance.
Hi, I'm happy you like it. You will find practice tests in preparatory books. I suggest having a look at that and then decide which book suits you best.
Thanks for sharing! How long did you receive the results after the test?
I am glad you liked it. It took 9 days for my results to arrive.
Hi Juva,
Would you mind to share a example of a lecture you used to practice? Maybe add a link. Thank you!
Hi Djuna, just search for lectures on TH-cam. Type in the search bar whatever you find interesting. There are tons of them :)
I have a question, sorry if it sounds dumb but,How does writing test work on home edition? like,are we gonna type out the essay? or write it on a paper and submit it? im really confused
That's a great question! 😀 In the TOEFL Home Edition you will have to type the essay using your computer.
Thank u so much dear maam. Your video is very great for learning.
You're so welcome! I'm so glad you like it :)
Well said man
@@englishchannel3786 Thank you!
hi juva! I’m going to take the TOEFL soon but I would like to start practicing listening to lectures to improve my listening skills, do you have a link for that? I’m trying to look in here and can’t find anything!🙈 thankk you
Hi Bianca, so great that you are going to take the TOEFL! Practicing listening is an amazing idea. During my preparation I listened to lectures on TH-cam. I'd recommend searching for lectures here, there are so many available. Have a look at them and pick out what you like. Hope this helps :)
Can you please tell us what did you use to practice please ? I mean did you had a subscription ? any website, did you just buy some practice test from IELTS ?
Hi 😀 When preparing for the IELTS I used information that I could find online. I hope this helps!
So, in the reading session, on TOEFL Home Edition, we CAN go back to the text after moving on to the questions, right? That was one of my biggest worries.
In TOEFL Reading, the passages are displayed next to the questions, so you can always see the relevant passage when answering the questions.
Thanks a lot Juva!I really like your video.I'd like to ask you if it's possible for me to enhance my TOEFL grade from 56 to 80 in a month? Thanks!
You're so welcome Ruoyu! I'm so glad you liked it :). A month should be sufficient if you study efficiently. I'd recommend the following: first, make sure that you understand the test format, second, find your weak spots, and third, focus on these weak spots. If you like, have a look at my playlists: there are videos about each section where I give you tips how to improve your TOEFL score. If you have any questions, put them in the comments, I'll be happy to answer them. Hope this helps :)
My Toefl scores just got in and I managed to score 106 within a few weeks of preparation. TOEFL with Juva played a very vital role in my scores. All my dream universities needed a score of 92 or above, this is beyond great. Thank You So Much!!
OMGGG contratulations!!!!!!
@@nessa7964 Thank You
Congratulations Shreya! That’s an amazing score, you can be so proud of yourself! I'm so glad I could help. I'd love to ask you a few questions about your experience. If you are interested in that, please drop me an email at contacting.juva@gmail.com . I'd love to hear from you :)
@@juva Omg, sure! It’d be my pleasure!
How many days did you take to prepare for toefl..??
Hi Juva! How many transparency sheets allowed to use? To my friend while taking TOEFL home based was allowed using only one transparency sheet.
That's what I heard from many people - maybe the changed the rules and you are allowed to have only one sheet. I'd recommend practising using only one sheet so that you're comfortable with it and if you're allowed more sheets you can use more.
Hello, thank you for the information
What material did you use to prepare? Any websites, books, are there any prescribed books?
Thank you!
Hi, I'm glad you liked it! I used online resources such as websites and TH-cam. I'd recommend looking for the topic you want to know more about, check out the format of the task, and then dive deeper into it by doing a more specific search. You can use whatever sources you like. Hope this helps :)
@@juva Thank you for your response!
Also, are the any websites you used for practice tests?
Sorry, not sure where to study from and only got a weeks time 🙈
@@samailakhtar5991 I can't recommend anything in particular. I'd suggest researching and then figure out which one you like most. Make sure that the website uses tests as they actually appear in the TOEFL and that they correspond to the level of difficulty. Nothing should go wrong then.
If you only have a few weeks I strongly recommend checking out the test format first, so that you know what they are looking for. This way you can study most efficiently. Hope this helps :)
OMG first Congrat 🎉🎊Mine Bestie, because you are mine favorite friend 🙃 and Hey I want a lot of TOEFL Vocabulary, so please, can I get Suggestion by you in this topic 🤔😀
I'm so glad you like it :). Regarding vocabulary for TOEFL Writing, I'd recommend creating mind maps for several topics. Regarding TOEFL Reading, have a look at articles - for example, online - that are more complex. The free ETS practice tests can help you get an insight into what kind of passages appear in the TOEFL.
@@juva Thank you so much 😃
@@Mj00527z You're most welcome! :)
Hi juva I' m mounika from India pls give me tips to speaking section because I'm not fluent Nd I'm in tension , so I want to ur guide lines how to speak Nd answer to the questions quickly..
Hi Mounika, have a look at my TOEFL Speaking playlist and pick the videos you need. If you have any questions, put them in the comments, I'll be happy to answer them :).
How long should i write (in words) for each of those essays. Also, should i use 1 point and example in the speaking or 2 reasons/points and example.
Hi, you should write at least about 200 words for the integrated essay and at least about 300 for the independent essay. However, these are only minimum requirements, I recommend writing a bit more. Do you refer to TOEFL Speaking task 1? In this task you should use 2 reasons and 2 examples.
Thanks.
You're welcome!
Hi juva do you think the exam is easier than the practice tests like an overall experience?
Hi, I don't think so. Before the exam I had a look at some practice tests for the reading section and I found reading in the real test a lot harder.
Today I had my Home edition and I must canceled at the middle. Why? The environment. I had to move at the last minute because of connection problems. Then, My advice Is: Get comfortable with a place to present the test, used to the area, feel free, and in peace, and never change at the last minute. Unfortunately I had a bad experience and I want to share with you to let you learn from my mistake. select and present in the place that you are used to it
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. So sorry to hear this, I wish you all the best!
Hey, Juva! I'm not so fluent in speaking as you are, I'm scared of facing the test! I guess I'm currently at the B2 level in English and I have to score 100+ on TOEFL. My weakest skill is speaking, I've done some tests and I estimate that I would be able to get 25 or a little more on the other sections, but I dont know about the speaking part.... I'll try to use the templates in my speaking! I feel that is a drastic short amount of time to respond properly the questions, I'm not so sharp and my mind just go blank.
Hey Lene, scoring 100+ is definitely a challenge, but don't worry! It's excellent that you already know where your weak spot is because this means that you can tackle the problem effectively. I'd recommend the following: first, get used to the speaking template you will be using. Second, practice speaking, and I mean it, you must speak to your wall or whatever because this is the only way to get better. Repeat this as often as you can, put yourself in the situation that scares you. It will not be funny in the beginning, but it will get better - you will feel a lot more comfortable in the TOEFL test. Hope this helps :)
@@juva Thanks, Juva! I have 2 months to prepare and I'll do it consistently. You are very kind and attencious, I wish you the very best!
@@leneclarademelodossantos2272 You're so welcome Lene! 2 months is definitely enough time to get better at speaking, you don't have to worry. If you have any further questions, feel free to put them in the comments, I'll be happy to answer them. Thank you and I also wish you all the best! :)
@@juva Bless you!
@@leneclarademelodossantos2272 Thank you Lene!
I don’t know if anyone needs to hear this but I feel it's right to say, so that no one else has to go through what happened to me.
I took the TOEFL test a few days ago and it was one of the worst experiences I had to undergo. My screen froze during the writing section and I couldn’t scroll down to read the remaining passage during the integrated part. I called for the proctor for help and she IGNORED me for the better part of 50 minutes until the end of the entire test. The spectacle didn’t end there, as the proctor TALKED OUT LOUD on full volume when I had to listen to what I had to speak on during the speaking section. She continued talking through the speakers for more than a minute, during all the listening (even if she lied to the institution saying that she talked just to ask to lower the camera, that requires 3 seconds). I was so nervous and terrified as the sheer horror of speaking on something I could NOT hear. I had to compose myself and I did my best to speak as this joke of an “test” came to an end. This is incompetence and a scam.
I immediately filed a complaint and sent them an email to open an investigation. It’s evident that “investigation” didn’t happen as ETS chose to not do their job like their LIAR of a proctor and simply took her word for it. My scores will stand and I was told I will not be allowed to retake the test for free. They chose NOT to review my RECORDED test.
Choosing TOEFL was definitely one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made in my life. They’re morally bankrupt and shamelessly corrupt. Don’t let them mess with your future. I’ve said my piece, make of that what you will. And add that to all the complaints of other type you can find on this page (for example not receiving the scores in time).
I regret that you made such a bad experience. I understand that this must be really frustrating for you. Especially when there are technical issues this must be a really stressful experience. I hope you can take the TOEFL again, offline or online, I wish you all the best!
Hi Juva, can I use my laptop's camera ? or should I get a removable camera?
Hi Ruby, you can use your laptop's camera, no need to get another.
@@juva Awesome. Thank you so much
Hi Juva. I appeared in the home addition & it’s been six days that my scores are not published yet. Moreover it’s showing a future date which is not the date I attended . Do you know why this is happening? Thanks
Hi, don't worry! My account also displayed a date that was not the one when I had attended the test. ETS states that it will take about 6 to 10 days until you get your results, sometimes it may take longer, I received my scores after 9 days. So there is nothing to worry about. I'd wait until day 10 and if your scores have not arrived by then I' d contact them.
Juva,thanks for sharing.
If you have a look at my comment,please say Where are you from?
You're so welcome! I'm from Germany.
You are so cool☺️
Thank you so much :)
I think you need to check pronunciation of "section". Don't get me wrong. I am learning from you way more things. Bests.
Hi, thanks for the feedback - you are right, there is room for improvement ;) I wasn't aware of that.
Hi Juva, could you please inform me, if you know, what is the minimum required time for the Toefl home edition registration before the test day?
Hi Valerija, I don't know whether there is a minimum amount of time required before taking it, but when I registered I was able to choose any test date that lay ahead and the nearest was three days after my registration. Hope this helps.
@@juva Thank you so much. Keep going, your videos are great
Thanks a lot Juva for your tips. I have scored 101 in my TOEFL test(home edition) and it is just because of you. I gave the test last Sunday. I have prepared for test only for 5 days and I have seen all your videos multiple times and followed your template. My score break-up is Reading- 25, Listening- 25, Speaking- 25 and writing- 26.
Thank you once again :)
Congratulations Annesha! Your scores are amazing, you can be so proud of yourself! I'm so glad I could help :).
Am I allowed see the notes and speak in TOEFL speaking section in home edition
Yes, you're allowed to have a look at your notes in the speaking tasks of the TOEFL Home Edition.
hey Juva, I have my TOEFL home edition a day after tomorrow and till today, I am using words repeatedly under stress and having a lack of vocabulary. Should I reschedule my test?
And what are the tips to improve this?
Hi Ambica, that depends - if you feel like you will not achieve the score you need and you still have time until you need to send your scores to your institution, you can consider rescheduling.
For broadening your range of vocabulary I'd recommend the following: Since the Speaking and Writing sections are about academic topics and discussions of everyday life, look at some example questions and search for articles regarding these topics. You should find many online that talk about these issues. Read them and write down words you consider important. Of course, this requires some time, so if you reschedule take that into account. Hope this helps :)
@@juva thank you so much
@@ambicaagarwal7543 You're welcome Ambica!
I found quite funny that at 7:22 you were using a Q1 template to explain why using templates
What do you mean by Q1 template? Disculpe que no lo entiendo, ya es muy tarde aquí :D Por cierto, me gusta tu canal - qué videos tan interesantes!
@@juva I'm sorry!
I thought that was intended but when you were explaining that how to deal with the Speaking section you used the same structure that people usually use in the first question of the speaking part. In fact, you started with your stance 7:29 and then you provided two reasons ( 7:40 and 8:01 )
@@sebacisterna Now I see it, I didn't realize that :D. Actually, this was not intended - this may be due to all the studying for the TOEFL ;)
Watching this on my way to the exam haha I'm pretty much bilingual but didn't really train for the TOEFL so...
I hope everything went well! Did you know anything about the test format or did you just take it without studying at all? Since you are bilingual, I would love to know what your experience was like: Did you find the TOEFL easy or was there anything you found difficult?
@@juva i passed the test in 2017 so i kinda already knew about the construction of the test but could'nt remember the type of question if that makes sens
@@nolabyrne6881 I understand. Being used to the test format is definitely one of the most important things to succeed. So having done it before certainly helps.
@@juva so i got 30 in listening and reading, 27 in speaking and 26 in writing :)) the templates defo helped !
@@nolabyrne6881 Congratulations! Your scores are amazing! I'm so glad the templates were helpful to you :). Thank you for telling me :).
Im Hesistant For my speaking section. Also Im not good and confident on speaking spontaneously on a topic immediately. Do you have Any tips For the same?
Don't worry, you can do this! have a look at my TOEFLL Speaking playlist and pick the videos you need. You can also find a Speaking template there. Hope this helps :).
Do you think it's a good idea to take notes during the listening section?
It's a fantastic idea! Because when answering the questions you can rely on your notes in case you don't remember what has been said, which may easily happen.
Hello, I will have this exam next week (home edition) and I was wondering for the writing part how is the exam. Do we write it on a computer, does it count words? Or do we write it on paper and scan it?
Hello, so great that you are going to take the TOEFL Home Edition! You write the essay on your computer and the word count will be displayed on the screen. Hope this helps :).
@@juva Yes, thank you for your answer :) !
@@yukarietoilesworld8300 You're very welcome! :)
Hey Juva, is 7.7 mbps internet speed enough for the home edition ??
Hey Maitreyee, you can check that on the ProctorU 'Test it out' page: test-it-out.proctoru.com/ - just have a look at whether the Bandwith Check is successful :)
I messed up my home edition toefl test because of my controler😔 They controled my mouse during the listening and didn't turned off their speaker or mic for the entire speaking part, which overlapped the sound of the recorded lecuture and the controler voice... I cried a river😢😢😢 I reported them and I'm waiting for their respond
I'm so sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience. That must be so frustrating! I hope everything works out fine and I wish you all the best!
I have a TOEFL Home Edition tomorrow in 16 hours now! Really nervous!!
Don't worry, everything will be fine! Being nervous before the test is totally natural, I was very nervous as well. I wish you all the best for your TOEFL!
how was it?
@@jefferssonbrasil4967 DIdn't go quite well. R/L/S/W = 19/22/19/26. Total 86 only.
In the reading section of home edition can I go back and revise the answers or is it already locked once it’s selected? TIA
Hi, you can go back and change your answer if you like.
i am juva Thank you. Appreciate your efforts.
Hey Juva, I finished my first TOEFL Home edition test :D.
It went good... I got 27 on Reading and 25 on Listening (unofficial grades)
But I just went to my ETS account and it says that my test is "to be scheduled"... Is this normal because in my ProctorU account it says that I finished my test successfully... will I be able to view my scores on my ETS once they are released?
yes it is fine! it freaked me out also because I got great scores on first part reading-27 and listening 27 and didn't want to loose them . To be scheduled will change right before they post the scores
@@natashasmith95 omg thank you🥺 I was so confused... relieeeeff
Hi Fouad, Congratulations! Your scores are amazing! Natasha already explained it and I couldn't have done it better: It will say "to be scheduled" until you receive your scores - at least that was what happened to me. You will be notified by ETS vie email once your scores are there and then you can see them in your ETS account.
Thank you Natasha for explaining! Congratulations for such amazing scores!
@@juva Thank you!!!
Juva can me use headphones in the exam? if it is not possible, doesn't it make the listening harder?
Unfortunately you can't use headphones. For me it didn't make the listening harder, so don't worry about that. My next video will be about such questions regarding the TOEFL Home Edition, so feel free to have a look at it.
My problem with TOEFL is speaking, I mumble a lot when I talk. Are there any tips to avoid mumbling?
Practice speaking at home: speak everything out loud as precise as you can and record yourself - after that listen to the tape and identify the kinds of words that you are mumbling. Then speak again using these words and record yourself. Repeat this as often as is necessary to get rid of the mumbling. Hope this helps :)
Hi, how can we know the type of question that might come up?
Hi Marius :) TOEFL always uses the same question types, so you can practice them before. Have a look at my TOEFL playlists, you can find videos about the question types there.
My exam is in 5 hours 😭 I’m so nervous
I wish you all the best for your TOEFL! You can do this!
Does anybody know if is possible to see a test after taking it? I would like to know exactly which mistakes I made.
Great question! I assume that it's not possible but you may want to ask ETS.
@@juva thanks!
@@alexandrefreitascouto8483 You're so welcome!
Is the TOEFL Home Edition counting towards the MyBest Scores?
I don't see why not because the TOEFL Home Edition does not differ from the test in the test center. However, I'd recommend contacting ETS and asking them just to be sure.
Hi there, I heard that tofel home edition have high chances of visa rejection ..Could you please explain it to me.
Especially by Australian government
Hi, it's true that not every institution accepts the TOEFL Home Edition. Therefore, you should ensure that your institution accepts it before you register for the test. I'd recommend asking them so that you are sure about that.
Hi, do you know where I can find a lot of free practice tests? Thanks
Hi :) You can find free practice tests for the TOEFL on the ETS website.
Hi, any body can please explain.while writing my test suddenly my system off.that time iam taking reading section after reconnecting its showing listening section.proctor said take reshedule the test.
Can i take my test with last payment
Hi, I'd recommend contacting ETS as soon as possible and asking them. I wish you all the best!
I have a question. if the summary questions worth 2 point in the reading section, then why the total mark isn't 33? Is my math so bad?
The questions and the corresponding points are allocated in a manner such that the sum is 30 :)
According to my TOEFL Official Guide, those points in the Toefl Scaled score mean between 25-27. Hope it helps you.
are you allowed to look at your notes during the speaking section while you are answering?
Sure
Hi, of course you are - just make sure that you also look frequently into the camera.
can one take notes in the toefl home edition?
Hi 😀 Yes, you are allowed to take notes using a transparency sheet or whiteboard and a non-permanent pen.
TOEFL reading for Home Edition on Monday was 40 questions. That threw me off balance, cos i was expecting 30 questions. Why is that so?
I'm so sorry that this confused you! I hope everything went well nevertheless. This means that 10 of these questions were experimental questions. They sometimes add an additional passage in order to see how test-takers perform on that. It's just for their information. This passage will not count towards your score. However, you don't know which of these passages was the experimental one.
@@juva oh no 🤦🏼♀️
Is this done in every Home Edition.? Do they all come with 40 Reading Questions..??? Or it happens once in a while.?
@@lilianifeomaezenwa2461 I assume that it only happens once in a while and I think that this is also the case if you take the TOEFL in a test center.
Hi Juva, I am preparing for TOEFL. But my English level is intermediate. I want to learn from you in privately. How can i communicate with you? Would you like to help me please?
Hi Ayath, so great that you want to take the TOEFL. I'm afraid I don't offer private lessons at the moment because I have to study a lot. I'd recommend this: Have a look at my playlists and pick the videos you need. If you have any questions, put them in the comments, I'll be happy to answer them. Hope this helps :).
@@juva Thank you so much for your suggestions. I will try my best. 😊
@@ayathahmed4249 You're most welcome!
Is toefl home edition is valid for next year? I wanna apply for fall 2022
TOEFL Scores are valid for two years from your test date, so it should work.
