04 — Exam
TOEFL iBT prep.
Academic English, favoured by North American universities.
- What it’s for
- English proficiency, most commonly for North American universities.
- Who it’s for
- Students applying where TOEFL is preferred, or who read and write more comfortably than they speak.
What it is
TOEFL asks you to read something, hear something, then say or write how the two relate. That integrated format is why strong English speakers can still underperform: the exam is testing note-taking and synthesis as much as language.
Format
How the paper is built.
- Reading
- Academic passages with question sets.
- Listening
- Lectures and campus conversations.
- Speaking
- Independent and integrated tasks, recorded.
- Writing
- An integrated task plus an academic discussion response.
How we prep it
The parts of TOEFL iBT that actually move a score.
- 01
Note-taking as a skill
A repeatable shorthand for lectures — the single highest-leverage TOEFL habit and the one nobody practises.
- 02
Templates that do not sound like templates
Structures for the speaking tasks that hold up under a 45-second clock without going robotic.
- 03
Scored mocks
Full-length attempts marked against the official rubric with a rescoring plan.
