In a
previous post, you learned about the second factor of TOEFL Success - confident preparation.
The third success factor is studying with a TOEFL professor.
But how?
Achieve a High Score with a TOEFL Professor
So, you want to study abroad, get a scholarship, or perhaps a promotion at the office.
For whatever reason, a high TOEFL score can propel forward your personal and professional goals.
However, like most worthwhile goals in life, there is a cost.
Studying for a high TOEFL score requires 3 essential investments:
1) Time
2) Energy
3) Money
Time
The TOEFL exam is expensive. No one wants to take the test until they are ready.
I usually advise my students to take at least three (3) months to strengthen both their TOEFL and English skills.
However, the length of time when you will be ready for the test depends on your current level of English skills.
While you probably have an idea, do you really know?
An evaluation of your English skills level can save you money later.
That is, once you know your true level of English, you can adjust your TOEFL preparation so you are ready by exam day.
You can reserve a TOEFL Speaking and Writing Evaluation to get a pre-test review of your skills.
The length of TOEFL preparation is also tied to your stamina for completing your study.
Energy
Our daily lives are full of events and choices.
During your period of TOEFL preparation, you must find the strength to maintain a rigorous study schedule despite work, family and/or social activities.
You're in training for a special mission - getting the highest score possible on exam day.
You need both the time and energy to increase your TOEFL exam and English skills.
Whether you work or study for four or five classes every week, your level of energy can flag.
However, maintaining your TOEFL study progress is a key part of your success on exam day.
Do you really need to sleep an extra hour or can you push forward to study another chapter of TOEFL vocabulary?
Remember - the TOEFL exam is more than three (3) hours long. You need to develop the stamina to study for the exam during your preparation period.
Your higher energy level will better prepare you for the challenge on exam day.
Money
Finally, few worthwhile deeds do not require an investment of money.
Students have a better chance to achieve their desired scores when they practice with a native English TOEFL instructor.
How serious are you?
Sure, I'm a TOEFL instructor and I'd like to work with you to help.
However, in my over 12 years of experience helping candidates to notch their target TOEFL score, those who do not work with an instructor often have to take the test again - and again - to succeed.
As noted above, the TOEFL is expensive and my philosophy has always been - take the test once and get your score!
A wise investment of money in working with a TOEFL instructor can help you smartly study for the exam and possibly shorten the time needed to prepare.
Conclusion
Invest the time, energy, and money you can spare in order to be reach your target score on the TOEFL exam day.
The last point - achieving your high score with help of a TOEFL teacher - is the #3 success factor.
