First of all, the change of TOEFL preparation time depends on the premise. What is the basis of your preparation? High school education level, CET-4 or CET-6, or have completed GRE. And many exams have one thing in common: you don't pay attention to your English listening and writing, and most importantly, you don't pay attention to your spoken English.
1. Define your overall goals, achievements and current level.
Only when you know the gap between your level and your target score will you know where to be diligent. For example, the questioner should take the exam for the first time, so there is no result to refer to at present. It is not appropriate to compare TOEFL with CET-4 and CET-6, because to be honest, TOEFL is definitely more valuable than CET-4 and CET-6. TOEFL needs to be more mature whether it is the type of questions to be considered or the selection of test materials. And TOEFL also has spoken English. This subject should be a very difficult place for us students in China, so we must prepare well.
Therefore, students who haven't taken the TOEFL are advised to do a set of TPO before preparing for the exam, or they can buy a mock exam and grade it themselves. If they can't grade themselves or ask the teacher to help you grade, in short, they should have actual grades. TOEFL is divided into reading, writing, listening and speaking, each with 30 points. How many points do you need to test for your ideal score? Then, according to your current level, you can better do targeted preparation exercises.
2. Test the overall plan in advance.
Every time they prepare for the exam, they should make a corresponding preparation plan. In this way, the daily preparation direction is established and the time utilization rate is improved. After all, TOEFL preparation time is limited, and rational use of time is undoubtedly more efficient.
When I took the second exam, I signed up for an online course, which directly included the service of helping to make a daily preparation plan, without doing it myself, and I found it more convenient.
What preparations should I make before studying in the United States? 1, relevant certificates
Generally speaking, plane tickets, passports and visas, and employment certificates for studying abroad all need to be properly prepared. You can collect and organize the documents into relevant certificates for entry into the customs and valid certificates for applying for studying abroad, and you must take them with you to prevent them from being ignored and lost. It is very important to sign this valid certificate whether you enter the customs or go to colleges and universities, so you must be prepared.
2. Learning tools
Notebooks, tablets, video pens, paper books and other electronic devices related to study and training can also be purchased in the United States. Although electronic devices are more cost-effective than domestic ones, some apps cannot be installed. The United States attaches great importance to the protection of intellectual property rights, and the corresponding physical books are also very expensive.
It is worth noting that when you start the electronic equipment, you must bring the corresponding data cable, machine equipment cable and mobile socket. Because the power outlets in the United States are different from those in China, it is very important to change them. American aircraft cables are too expensive to make, so it is better to prepare them at home.
3. Savings card and cash
Before you leave, you'd better change a certain amount of dollars in the bank and keep it for later use. You have just entered a foreign country, and many areas are in urgent need of money. You must keep quiet so as not to be exposed. Everyone knows that the US Customs can't bring a lot of cash into the customs. Savings cards or bank credit cards can be used to pay tuition fees. Try to prepare enough cash on the card before you leave. Because credit cards have a limit, it is difficult to charge more than the credit limit.
