Having some tips before taking the exam can help you improving your level and, as a result, get a higher test mark.

General Speaking Tasks

· Increase vocabulary and learn to use idiomatic speech appropriately.

· Learn grammatical structures and use them naturally when speaking.

· Work on pronunciation, including word stress, intonation patterns, and pauses.

· When practicing for the TOEFL iBT using the tips above, take 15 seconds to think about what you’re going to say before you speak. Write down a few key words and ideas, but do not attempt to write down exactly what you are going to say. (Raters will be able to detect responses that are read and give them a lower rating.)

· Use signal words and expressions to introduce new information or ideas, to connect ideas, and to mark important words or ideas

· Make recordings of the above activities and evaluate your effort
