    Thank you so much. Yesterday I did my first practice reading test and I sadly only scored 16. After watching your video and implementing your tips and tricks, I boosted my score to 22 - and this is only my 2nd time ❤ Factual information, rhetorical purpose, and inference still remain my biggest weaknesses because they require you to be highly meticulous... Anyway, thank you so much, you're a beautiful angel and this is hands down the MOST HELPFUL video out there!!!

    I wanted to leave you a comment that, your video is the most useful video about TOEFL reading that I watched. Surprised me that many viewers left you the exact comment which I wanted to leave.
    I am having the test after 3 days, I will tell you what score I got. Often I score 20-22 in reading. Bless you!

    She is providing amazing tips but she might need to change a video layout . I tried really hard to listen but had a trouble to understand the accent and I stopped watching due the developed headache. I wish her video had subtitles so I can turn off the sound . And, yes,- automatically generated subtitles can't properly reflect what she is saying either, unfortunately.

    Hello!! How did you do the summary question? Cause in the previous ones you didn’t read the actual passage, I mean, you read the question first and then the passage. So, for the summary question I will have to actually read the whole passage? 😁😁

    • @belensotomayor8322
      @belensotomayor8322  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You don't have to read it all, but you have to know what are the main ideas of the passage. if you don't remember, you have to look at the passage. You have to try to remember what you just read to answer the other questions. That will also help. This is one of the hardest question, and it will usually take more time, but practice will help you to be faster.
