•  When you practice for the TOEFL iBT® Speaking section, take 15 seconds to think about what you’re going to say before you speak. Write down a few key words and ideas and plan how you will organize your response. Don’t attempt to write down exactly what you’re going to say. It’s a waste of your time, and raters will be able to detect responses that are read and will give them a lower rating.

•  Record your responses and replay them. Evaluate your effort by asking yourself these questions:

– Did I complete the task?
– Did I speak clearly?
– Did I make grammatical errors?
– Did I use words correctly?
– Did I organize my ideas clearly and appropriately?
– Did I use the time effectively?
– Did I speak too quickly or too slowly?
– Did I pause too often?

•  Record your response another time a few days later. Compare these responses with your earlier responses.

•  Ask a Trainer to evaluate your recordings using the appropriate TOEFL iBT Speaking
