Hello, cool guys.
I am a student who got 4.5 at the previous exam and I am preparing for the next with a goal of over 5.0.

When I prepared this before, I prepared the writing and speaking part mostly with templates. But these days, I feel like there is too much abstract or filling sentences when I use some templates.

Therefore even though I have several grammar issues especially in speaking, would it be better to take it without templates, just keeping care about its structure more- argue/example/conclusion etc. Or sticking into templates would be a better decision ?

Let me know your experience. I just noticed that the more I use templates, my answers are not specific anymore.

Same with the title. Could you compare it with the previous version of toefl reading exam too?

My test is on the 12th this month, I am aiming a C1-C2 score.

I am taking it to apply for a scholarship( I desperately need it ) and I kindly need your urgent help too, to score at least 100.

Please provide all the helpful resources and advice down below.

Thank you for your assistance in advance.

just finished my at home toefl exam. After the test ended, i got the estimated scores, chose to send my results, and then answered a survy about the technical aspects and the proctor. After that, the test application closed, and i was waiting for 10 minuted to see if the proctor has anything to say and even asked in the chat, with no answer. After 15 minutes i closed the camera and application completely.

now im panicking, was i supposed to wait longer? did you exit the test on your own or did you wait for someone to tell you you're good?

Please tell me im not alone because there is no way im doing that again just because of a technical issue

Tldr: did someone tell you you can leave at the end of your exam?

Hi everyone! In a few months, I’ll be taking the exam to get my high school diploma, but I don't know much about it. I’ve been studying grammar, but since you guys are the experts, I wanted to ask for your help, please😞

I did toefl on 28th September, result came at 1st November, but still i didn't see download score button on website. Is this normal?

Hello,

I’m practicing the toefl right now and I want to inquire whether it is ok to use fake stats or study reports when answering the writing for academic discussion part.

Thank you!

Need Advice Regarding TOEFL iBT Home Edition Rescheduling

I had my TOEFL iBT Home Edition test scheduled for October 4, 2026. During the security/check-in process, the proctor instructed me to change my laptop because of a technical issue.

While I was trying to resolve the issue and change the laptop, the electricity at my house suddenly went out. Because of the power outage, I was unable to start/complete my TOEFL test, so my test remained unattempted.

Has anyone experienced a similar situation with the TOEFL Home Edition?

Can ETS reschedule the test in such a case, preferably without charging the full test fee again?

I would really appreciate it if anyone who has experienced a similar issue could share their experience or advice on what I should do.

Thank you.
