TOEFL IBT 100 (for not native speaker) NO.1


I was surprised that my target score (100) came out in my first test of TOEFL IBT I studied for three weeks and took an exam. Although 100 is not that very high score, I heard that many american or english universities require foreign students to get 100 to enter. So, I want to share my study method of English.
Before I start, I want to say that I have never studied abroad in an English-speaking country.

I started Toefl Test, because I needed it as I decided to go to the university in abroad.

This is my test score record.
 First trial test (in an academy) Aug. 3rd. 2018
RC>26
LC>19
WRT>18
SPK>23
->total: 86

Second trial test (in an academy) 
Aug. 16th. 2018
RC>26
LC>23
WRT>18
SPK>26
->total: 93

Real Test  IBT Toefl- Aug.26th
RC>25

LC>24
WRT>27
SPK>24
->total: 100

You can see my listening and writing scores have risen sharply in three weeks. 
In fact, although english skills are not that very good, it's possible to make the score higher if you get the hang of the test!

About the test IBT TOEFL
Test of English as a Foreign Language is a standardized test to measure the English language ability of non-native speakers wishing to enroll in English-speaking universities.  (from WIKIPEDIA)

There are total 4 sections : Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking
The TOEFL IBT test is scored on a scale of 0 to 120 points. 

Each of the four sections receives a scaled score from 0 to 30. The scaled scores from the four sections are added together to determine the total score. 

The reading and listening sections are tested first, followed by a ten-minute break. The speaking and writing sections are then completed following the break. A maximum amount of 250 minutes is allowed to complete the whole exam process. 

Each speaking question is initially given a score of 0 to 4, and each writing question is initially given a score of 0 to 5. These scores are converted to scaled scores of  0 to 30. 

You have to notice that this is the computer based test.
