Thank you so much, Juva.... I just got my TOFEL score report today... Speaking 23, writing 24, reading 30 and listening 30.. Indeed, your well concise explanations and input helped me a lot...you certainly are amazing.
Congratulations Chukwu! Your scores are amazing, 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 :)
such a legend! video is 8 months old and you still heart and answer the comments! also videos are extremely helpful thank you for your time and effort!
Juva, Your videos are really useful and your reading practice videos actually my reading alot easier. I even watched TST prep videos. Both of you are amazing. Continue helping people with your amazing skills. I just got my TOEFL ibt scores: 107/120 (R26, L26, S28, W27). Thank you!!!
hey guys the first time i took this test i got a 86 which really disappointed me. and my listening section was 17. so what i found out was that whenever i try to take notes in the listening part, i can’t fully concentrate on the lecture. the second time i took toefl, i got 27 without taking ANY notes, this really works guys. just imagine the whole lecture/conversation in your head.
Hey Azim, that's so amazing that you improved your TOEFL Listening score this much, congratulations! You're right, if you write down too much, it happens easily that you get distracted and then you miss essential information. Nevertheless, I took notes in TOEFL Listening because I think I wouldn't have been able to remember everything that had been said. But I used a specific strategy that allowed me to keep my focus while taking notes. That's so awesome that you were able to remember everything, respect!
"Imagine the whole conversation in your head" that's exactly what we should do! However if you're fan of writing down notes, you should use symbols, one keyword that'll help you remember the context and bullet points that are as short as possible
To tell the truth, you are amazing as TET prep. Initially, the TOEFL exam has got I kind of luck. I can prove what I say using my score in the TOEFL reading section. I took the first one yesterday, and I scored 24. Despite this, in the past 3 hours, I took a new one, and the result was 11 out of 30. This massive change in my score has shocked me. I am embarrassed to say that. However, what I want to say is that may you are so lucky then you are going to see an easy passage. I am talking about a practice test from the TST Premium course. Ultimately, I will be glad to see your opinion, JUVA.
I’m loving your explanations. You are so incredible. Thank you very much for these classes. My main problem is bad notes taking. I am able to listen and understand everything you are saying but if I have to stop to write anything, I can’t listen anymore. So I lost many points of the listening... I’m having trouble improving on that.
I'm so glad you like them! I know that taking notes can be really hard. However, if you practice, it will get better. Just don't give up, you can do it!
Just a moment!! You've said before being ready for TOEFL, you had not been in English speaking environment!!! Really?? You are not British??? Where are you from then? you know your English accent is excellent
Literally, I was looking for this video and today you uploaded this video.. please make more videos on Listening.... One more humble request can you please suggest platforms for mock tests, I am writing my exam day after tomorrow so I really need to practice a lot
Hi 😀 Check out my TOEFL Materials: juva.podia.com/toefl-materials Here you can find lots of vocabulary, such as mind maps for common TOEFL topics, synonym lists and linking words.
Thank you so Much Juva!! You are the best!! I got 30 in the listening TOEFL section!! I appreciate your support and help, and taking the time to explain and provide the keys to it!!! All my best!!
Hi, I have a very basic question. Do we have to answer the questions meanwhile we are still listening to the track? Or do we have some time to answer after the track?
Hi, Juva. Please, consider solving TOEFL listening exercises while you explain what the right question is and why :) please, I am about to present the test coming week.
Hi David, I'm afraid I don't have access to TOEFL Listening exercises. If you have any questions regarding TOEFL Listening, feel free to post them here in the comments, I will be happy to answer them! Hope this helps :)
The listing part consists of 2-3 lectures and then 2-3 conversations, Do we have to listen to all the lecture voice records at once and then answer the ~24 questions at once, then same for the conversions? Or I can listen to them record by record and answer each record questions alone?
The questions will appear after each recording. After you have answered the questions, you listen to the next recording, then you answer the questions regarding that recording and so on.
If you take the TOEFL in the test center, you will be provided with headphones. If you take the TOEFL Home Edition, you are not allowed to use headphones. Hope this helps!
First of all, I am here to thank Juva for your work through these videos. You are helping many international students reach their TOEFL scores to attend for degrees in another country. In other words, you are a beautiful soul in this world. I was accepted for a Master's Degree in the USA, and I am here to share my accomplishments with someone who helped me in this process. Again, thank you!
Excellent question! I'd recommend taking notes of the most important information which may sometimes include the kind of information you mentioned. Usually, you won't be asked for years, names and so on, but it might sometimes be relevant to a question.
No worries, you can do this! The lectures are really challenging. The key is to know what the questions will be about. This helps you focus on the right aspects. Check out my TOEFL Listening playlist where you can find many tips for listening to lectures.
First of all thank you for your excellent video. It's really completed and usefull but i have one problem. how can we take note during the toefl test when it is forbidden ?
Hi Bawa, I'm so glad you like it. There are usually several conversations and several lectures. I therefore recommend practicing both, so that you are prepared.
Hi Juva, thanks for your videos, they are really helpful. It seems I have no problems with note-taking and understanding the context, but I still make about 5-8 mistakes. Almost all of them occurred because I did not read the question/answers carefully or listened to that part carefully. My reading section has these problems, too. Can you suggest something I can do to raise my attention and avoid this kind of mistakes?
Hi Elina, I'm so glad they are helpful to you :). I know what you are talking about. The questions in TOEFL Reading and Listening are formulated in a way that if you slightly misread them, you will pick the wrong answer. I'd recommend this: When you read a question always remind yourself to read carefully. Always think: Is there a word that is easy to miss? You must do this with every question. If you practice for a while, this will become an automatic process and you will not make this mistake in the TOEFL test. Hope this helps :)
@@juva thank you. I have already listened to your listening video. I mention that while listening lecture, the same time show us your note taking skills. Which part is important to take note, like that.
Hello, thank you so much, I'm so glad you like it :). You can't see the questions during listening, you'll only see them after you have listened to the passage.
Hi Juan, in TOEFL Listening you can listen to the audio one time only. That's why it's important to take some notes so that you don't forget important points. Hope this helps :)
Hey 😀 No worries, you can do this! Try to focus on the key points of the listening. To do this, you must know the question types. Have a look at my TOEFL Listening playlist, you can find videos about the question types there. This will help you focusing on the right points.
Is it possible that my score whilst listening to the CONVERSATION Task is much higher when I am not taking notes at all? :D Whats your recommendation for LECTURE listening task, on which type of words should I concentrate? Many thanks, u r the best"
In TOEFL Listening I'd recommend only taking notes of the most important things. Regarding the conversation task this means writing down details that are difficult to remember, regarding the lecture I'd note the most important points the lecturer gives and the details of the topic he explains. Does this help? :)
Hi :) It can take a bit longer, so don't worry if you need to wait a bit. If it takes too long I'd recommend contacting ETS and asking them whether everything is ok with your test.
@@myleneaffes1487 It is possible, but it doesn't have to be like that. If you need your scores quickly I'd recommend contacting ETS and telling them. This way you may accelerate the process.
And many answers look alike and are like Trap and i always choosing the wrong and ask Whyy, why they made it in that way?:):D i hope to be more prepared for tonight, the BIIG GREAT TIME for the exam:D
@@juva Hi Juva 😀 I did it online, I made a mistake at the beginning, reading section🤭 I didn't follow the time and I answered 17-18 questions and left only 5min or less. I put too much attention to reading so carefully the question, the answers and the passages... There were 30 questions. I did 17-18, then in the last 5min I just by intuition put some answers on 5 questions and the time end. So I had unfinished 5-6 questions. 😂is not funny but, yes, I made a mistake with the Time. Listening section was ok, I used some notes, but later the marker fell on ground so on 1-2 questions I didn't use notes, but was ok, I focused even better on what they are talking about and tried to memorize important things, Then I had 10 min break. After that I needed again to show my room and desk to the proctor. Speaking session - ohhh, again mistake.. 🤭😂 when I answered on one question, I talked 30 seconds, there left 25-20 seconds and I didn't knew what more to say... Was uncomfortable situation. (Generally, didn't had much time to prepare, only 4 days, and instead I to practice more with TOEFL, I distinguished my english, then only 1-2 days I used for the TOEFL preparation), But my strongest section was the Writing. Of course I will lose a lot points because I didn't answer on 5 questions(empty), 5 answers by intuition, then I don't know if the rest was correct.. (On Reading). And other mistake with speaking when in Only one answer I lost my mind for 20 seconds. Then I said Ummm, yes, that's why.. And tried add some more words with little giggles) 🤭 uhh. I hope to get satisfying result which can be enough to candidate for university abroad😀🍀 I will get the results after some days... But I memorized some things from you and they helped me a lot for this short time when I prepared😀🍀thank you! P. S. my exam continued 4 hours. At the evening 10 30 pm till 2 30 am😂

Hello Juva am samuel Okalebo from Uganda and a semi finalist for IREX Community Solutions program i am needed to take TOEFL test between march and Aprill i need your mentorship on this please
Hi Priyanshi, I'm fine, I hope you're fine too! Have a look at the question types of TOEFL Listening. If you know them, you know what you need to focus on. Hope this helps :)
You're most welcome! Taking notes in the TOEF is definitely a challenge. I'd recommend practicing this before so that you know what works best for you.
Hello! Great video, thank you for the help. I would like to know if we are allowed to write down the Listening templates on the whiteboard during the 10-minutes-break (I am going to memorize them but I’ll write it down before the Listening part starts, just in case).
Hi, thank you, I'm glad you liked it! You are only allowed to take notes during the test. The rules for the TOEFL Home Edition are the same as for the test center.
@@juva I’m sorry, I meant before the Speaking section, not before the Listening part. Can I write down the templates on the whiteboard (writing it from my mind) before the Listening part starts (Home Edition test)? Thanks again!
@@leireriosUnfortunately you are only allowed to take notes during the Speaking section, not before. I'd recommend memorizing the Speaking template before, if you do that, you shouldn't have any problems even if you are nervous. Hope this helps :)
You are allowed to take notes in the TOEFL. If you take the test in the test center you can use paper, if you take the TOEFL Home Edition, you must use a transparency sheet or whiteboard with an erasable marker.
Hi Juva, I’ve been watching your videos and I really like how you explain everything. I would like to know if you are doing one on one or group lecture or tutorial?
Hi, thank you so much, I'm so glad you like it! I'm afraid at the moment I don't offer any lectures or tutorials. However, if you have any questions feel free to post them in the comments I will be happy to answer them :)
I know this may differ from person to person but would you mind sharing your study habit or preparation during TOEFL? I’m planning to take the exam on April 17. Thank you.😊
This depends on your current level of English. If you are advanced, you should be able to prepare in one week. I'd recommend focusing on your weaknesses and on the test format.
I don't recommend taking notes in your own language. You will need to translate the information you listen to into your own language which costs time. When answering the questions you need to translate it again into English. I'd recommend taking notes in English because it's faster and also more helpful for answering the questions correctly.

Almost all of them occurred because I did not read the question/answers carefully or listened to that part carefully. My reading section has these problems, too. Can you suggest something I can do to raise my attention and avoid this kind of mistakes?
Hi Elina, I'm so glad they are helpful to you :). I know what you are talking about. The questions in TOEFL Reading and Listening are formulated in a way that if you slightly misread them, you will pick the wrong answer. I'd recommend this: When you read a question always remind yourself to read carefully. Always think: Is there a word that is easy to miss? You must do this with every question. If you practice for a while, this will become an automatic process and you will not make this mistake in the TOEFL test. Hope this helps :)
@@juva I'm very grateful for your answer. I will try to follow your advice, thanks again
Can you teach us how to take note effectively? Listen and take note the same time for sample examples, thanks
Sure, check out this video where I give you my top tips for note-taking in TOEFL Listening: th-cam.com/video/EXAbraAOdBQ/w-d-xo.html
@@juva thank you. I have already listened to your listening video. I mention that while listening lecture, the same time show us your note taking skills. Which part is important to take note, like that.
@@Nur-to2sj I noted your wish 😀
Hello, great lesson, can we see questions before or during the listening passages to know what we'll need to focus more?🥰👌💞
Hello, thank you so much, I'm so glad you like it :). You can't see the questions during listening, you'll only see them after you have listened to the passage.
Hey Juva, my listening does not improve. Can you please provide some strategies?
Hey :) Check out my TOEFL Listening playlist. You can find strategies for solving different question types and for note-taking there. Hope this helps!
I have a doubt, in the Toefl Home Edition, in the listening section, how many times you can hear the audio? One or two? Thanks
Hi Juan, in TOEFL Listening you can listen to the audio one time only. That's why it's important to take some notes so that you don't forget important points. Hope this helps :)
Hey juva, i lose my focus during listening examples of toefl listening they are so long pleaase can u advice me!!!
Hey 😀 No worries, you can do this! Try to focus on the key points of the listening. To do this, you must know the question types. Have a look at my TOEFL Listening playlist, you can find videos about the question types there. This will help you focusing on the right points.
Good tips
Glad it was helpful!
Soo helpful!!
Thank you Luciana :) I'm so glad you liked it!
For TOEFL at home, are we allowed to take notes on a paper or do we need to use a whiteboard?
You must use a transparency sheet or a whiteboard, you are not allowed to use paper.
Is it possible that my score whilst listening to the CONVERSATION Task is much higher when I am not taking notes at all? :D Whats your recommendation for LECTURE listening task, on which type of words should I concentrate? Many thanks, u r the best"
In TOEFL Listening I'd recommend only taking notes of the most important things. Regarding the conversation task this means writing down details that are difficult to remember, regarding the lecture I'd note the most important points the lecturer gives and the details of the topic he explains. Does this help? :)
Hi Juva...are quickcards templates for the speaking test allowed in the test center as guides while sitting the exam? Thanks
Hi Joel, you are not allowed to have anything with you during the TOEFL test.
Hello 🙂
After the TOEFL exam, the result are really available between 7-10 days or it can be more please? :)
Hi :) It can take a bit longer, so don't worry if you need to wait a bit. If it takes too long I'd recommend contacting ETS and asking them whether everything is ok with your test.
@@juva If i took my TOEFL on 20 january , Can I have the results before 1 february ? 🙂
@@myleneaffes1487 It is possible, but it doesn't have to be like that. If you need your scores quickly I'd recommend contacting ETS and telling them. This way you may accelerate the process.
@@juva thank you so much :)
on tip #1, you only see the first question after listening to the entire audio clip.
That's correct :) That's why you must know the question types in advance so that you know what you need to focus on when listening.
And many answers look alike and are like Trap and i always choosing the wrong and ask Whyy, why they made it in that way?:):D i hope to be more prepared for tonight, the BIIG GREAT TIME for the exam:D
I hope everything went well :)
@@juva Hi Juva 😀 I did it online, I made a mistake at the beginning, reading section🤭 I didn't follow the time and I answered 17-18 questions and left only 5min or less.
I put too much attention to reading so carefully the question, the answers and the passages... There were 30 questions.
I did 17-18, then in the last 5min I just by intuition put some answers on 5 questions and the time end.
So I had unfinished 5-6 questions. 😂is not funny but, yes, I made a mistake with the Time.
Listening section was ok, I used some notes, but later the marker fell on ground so on 1-2 questions I didn't use notes, but was ok, I focused even better on what they are talking about and tried to memorize important things,
Then I had 10 min break.
After that I needed again to show my room and desk to the proctor.
Speaking session - ohhh, again mistake.. 🤭😂 when I answered on one question, I talked 30 seconds, there left 25-20 seconds and I didn't knew what more to say... Was uncomfortable situation. (Generally, didn't had much time to prepare, only 4 days, and instead I to practice more with TOEFL, I distinguished my english, then only 1-2 days I used for the TOEFL preparation),
But my strongest section was the Writing.
Of course I will lose a lot points because I didn't answer on 5 questions(empty), 5 answers by intuition, then I don't know if the rest was correct.. (On Reading).
And other mistake with speaking when in Only one answer I lost my mind for 20 seconds. Then I said Ummm, yes, that's why.. And tried add some more words with little giggles) 🤭 uhh.
I hope to get satisfying result which can be enough to candidate for university abroad😀🍀 I will get the results after some days...
But I memorized some things from you and they helped me a lot for this short time when I prepared😀🍀thank you!
P. S. my exam continued 4 hours.
At the evening 10 30 pm till 2 30 am😂

Hi Juva,
I took my TOEFL IBT home edition test today and scored full marks in reading and listening. Will update once I have the full set of scores as well. Thanks so much for your videos, they really helped me in preparing for TOEFL in a short span of 10 days.
Congratulations! That's awesome, you can be so proud of yourself. I'm so glad I could help. I'd love to know your scores once you have them :).
@@juva I finally got my scores today and I have scored 117/120 :)
@@dancetravellove5392 Congratulations! That’s an amazing score, you can be so proud of yourself! 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 :)
Hello Juva am samuel Okalebo from Uganda and a semi finalist for IREX Community Solutions program i am needed to take TOEFL test between march and Aprill i need your mentorship on this please
Hello Samuel, so great that you want to take the TOEFL! If you have any questions, please put them in the comments, I'll be happy to answer them :).
Hello Juva,
Toefl bank is a good practice website? It's similar to the real test?
Hello Simo, I have no experience with TOEFL bank, so I can't say anything about it.
hii juve, how are u? but how do we know on which information should focus more?
Hi Priyanshi, I'm fine, I hope you're fine too! Have a look at the question types of TOEFL Listening. If you know them, you know what you need to focus on. Hope this helps :)
@@juva i got it....thnkuu and which material did u use in your preparation for listening section.
@@priyanshipradhan6046 I used the ETS practice test, I can highly recommend that!
@@juva yeah thank, i got it but please make a video listening question types.
@@priyanshipradhan6046 I noted your wish :)
thanx for the tips... but taking a note for as little as 3 seconds might cause you to miss a very important detail #myOpinion
You're most welcome! Taking notes in the TOEF is definitely a challenge. I'd recommend practicing this before so that you know what works best for you.
Where are you from Juva?
Hi Laurie, I'm from Germany.
Thank you :)
You're welcome! :)
Hi Juva
Where can I can found some listening practice for TOEFL?
Hi Elidjana, you can find a TOEFL Listening practice test on the ETS website. Hope this helps :)
Hi Juva, in which section negative marking is there for answering wrong?
Hi Shalini, you don't get penalty points in TOEFL Listening and Reading, that's why you should always choose an answer.
@@juva thanks alot Juva, you are very sweet you reply to queries 😍
@@shalini_dhote Sure Shalini, I love to answer your questions :).
Hello! Great video, thank you for the help. I would like to know if we are allowed to write down the Listening templates on the whiteboard during the 10-minutes-break (I am going to memorize them but I’ll write it down before the Listening part starts, just in case).
Hi, thank you, I'm glad you liked it! You are only allowed to take notes during the test. The rules for the TOEFL Home Edition are the same as for the test center.
@@juva I’m sorry, I meant before the Speaking section, not before the Listening part. Can I write down the templates on the whiteboard (writing it from my mind) before the Listening part starts (Home Edition test)? Thanks again!
@@leireriosUnfortunately you are only allowed to take notes during the Speaking section, not before. I'd recommend memorizing the Speaking template before, if you do that, you shouldn't have any problems even if you are nervous. Hope this helps :)
Like too much the way she talk It’s so clear and understandable!!!! Wow it makes me feel I know ENGLISH!!!! But yes the STRATEGIES, IT IS THE CLUE
Hi Jose, I'm so glad you like it :)
Could you please share with good websites to practice listening?
I'm afraid I have no experience with such websites, so I can't say anything about that.
We cannot take notes in the TOEFL exam.
You are allowed to take notes in the TOEFL. If you take the test in the test center you can use paper, if you take the TOEFL Home Edition, you must use a transparency sheet or whiteboard with an erasable marker.
Can you write all kind of listening questions in a template ?
I noted your wish :)
Hi Juva, I’ve been watching your videos and I really like how you explain everything. I would like to know if you are doing one on one or group lecture or tutorial?
Hi, thank you so much, I'm so glad you like it! I'm afraid at the moment I don't offer any lectures or tutorials. However, if you have any questions feel free to post them in the comments I will be happy to answer them :)
Great! Thanks a lot.💞
@@DrMjVeterinarian You're so welcome
I know this may differ from person to person but would you mind sharing your study habit or preparation during TOEFL? I’m planning to take the exam on April 17. Thank you.😊
@@DrMjVeterinarian You're totally right, TOEFL preparation is definitely an important topic. I noted your wish :)
WHY YOU CAN JUST LISTEN THE AUDIO ONE TIME AND NOT TWICE? :(
No worries, you can do this! Have a look at my TOEFL Listening playlist for tips on how to get a high Listening score :).
If I need to score between 76 and 80, how long do I need to prepare? Can be one week?
This depends on your current level of English. If you are advanced, you should be able to prepare in one week. I'd recommend focusing on your weaknesses and on the test format.
@@juva Thank you.
@@MOBILEVITAL You're most welcome Marti!
İ love you ,you give really good parhways
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like it :)
@@juva i thank you too,
Is it a good Idea to take notes in my own language?
I don't recommend taking notes in your own language. You will need to translate the information you listen to into your own language which costs time. When answering the questions you need to translate it again into English. I'd recommend taking notes in English because it's faster and also more helpful for answering the questions correctly.
2:45 in my case i have given only 20 seconds to review the questions
Wow, that's fast!
