TOEFL listening test 103

[dubitataugustinus]

FUCK!! what's wrong with the accent?! I know there can be some lectures kinda british but... what the hell was that? :( It makes me feel confuse because it's a lot harder to understand than the classic US lectures...

[Disanne777]

A little bit of a weird English accent :) it sounds more Kiwi trying to be British to me; but language students wont know the difference. Is TOEFL REALLY this SLOW??

[jojolofoploco]

6/6....

[missmeghagupta2205]

4/6..:(



[blackdragon585]

it's much better if it has a test scrip

[IreneMilene]

Listened 5 times, still don't get it. Maybe because of British accent? 2/6

[MusicRakan]

How can anyone memorize 8 minutes of talking about places, names and numbers??? IN BRITSH :(,,,,,,

[Rikkaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

what is the setlist meant? 2.55 thank you

[Dammio]

@stonecoldnwo A set list, or setlist, is a document that lists the songs that a band or musical artist intends to play during a specific concert performance ... (wikipedia)

[stonecoldnwo]

@Dammio at 2.55 seem the speaker does not say setlist or setlist. She says settlers. Correct me if I was wrong. Thx

[Dammio]

@stonecoldnwo I checked. It was settlers.

[qz006]

5/6

thx

but i think this is way to easy comparing with the real toefl test.

i have taken the toefl three times and my highest score in listening is 15 out of 30

most of lectures in toefl test way to advance and complicated.

im going to take the test again for the fourth time and i hope i pass the score im looking for.

[Dammio]

@qz006 I took my exam. My score was 20. TOEFL ibt listening section is really hard for new people. Some of question are tricks. Time is limit. It has too many challenges.

[dungmetal]

[fernandoashley]

[talktome828]

what is the answer of # 16??

[massiveDestruction]

@talktome828 it is B

[sue0810]

on my last toefl i got 30 which was surprising score for my first trial. but then.. i took a practise test and i got a lower score of 26 .. how did this happen lol

[QuantumDouche]

Practice tests are more difficult than the actual TOEFL test. I'm losing 1 mark here and there too, so I'm hoping for a perfect on the actual test.

[natasha1017]

i still don;t know where the questions are and so r these answes

[cakto21]

thank you, is the test here as easy as toefl test?

[carloselbailador]

is it easier to obtain the toefl with a score of 230 or more, or advanced with b grade? i would really appreciate any answers.

[ouliogroove]

The ibt TOEFL is scored on 120. That is 30 points for each section: Speaking/listening/reading/wri­ting. I know that the cbt TOEFL is scored differently, but I am unaware of the level of difficulty that it involves, as I have only been teaching to prepare students for the ibt. So I am afraid I can't be of any help here. Sorry.

[carloselbailador]

thank you for replying

[gbasyildiz]

@ouliogroove is there a way to see the transcripts of those lectures?

thanks..

[leoweber22]

no way... all these tests with a british accent? no way it's the toeefl exam!!!!!!!!

[ouliogroove]

Yes! It is the TOEFL, but you are right about the British accent. It is not common, but not unheard of either. I've heard that they started to implement this accent a few years ago, and nowadays, it is possible to be faced with such accent in the listening test... But it is quite unlikely. The book I have used for these lectures have exaggerated the amount of British accent lectures, so it is not representative of the truth. Sorry about that.

[IreneJalenti]

@leoweber22 this accent is making me going crazy...i wanna an american accent during my toefl test!

[roojooroojoo]

OMGd, I hope the actual test is as easy as this! I don't have any problems at all reading, writing, understanding etc. english at all, however, I often allow my mind to wander.. not a good quality when you leave your mind on autopilot :P !

[skyfrank]

omg~ since when they put british accent into TOEFL! damn! i do have that!

[Moojgoo12]

thank you for your advise. thank you

[Moojgoo12]

how to improve my listening, i'm taking toefl 21 sep, but i still have trouble in understanding listening section well

[ouliogroove]

Well... My only advice for listening is to practice and practice some more. I am afraid there are no simpler ways to get better than to practice. I understand that you are a little short on time here, so practicing is out of question. I can just advise you to exploit the usual flaws of a multiple choice test. The choices they provide usually follow a pattern. 2 of the choices are similar, but not the same. 1 choice that is totally unrelated and a 4th one that is a kind of trap.

[ouliogroove]

By trap I mean that the choice in question will give you the impression of being a logical one, but the wording is done in such a way that it actually states the opposite of what you are lead to believe. That is why you really have to read the choices extra carefully over and over until you are certain you understand their meaning. So by recognizing the "trap" choice and the "unrelated one" you are left with two choices to select from. that is a 50% chance of success. It's not full proof, but...

[ouliogroove]

It is better than 25%... Now I am NOT suggesting that you gamble your way to a high TOEFL score, but I think that when left with fewer choices to select from, There is a greater chance of finding the right answer. So DON'T just "coin flip" between the two most logical choices. Evaluate those two choices and make a concious decicsion.

I am sorry if I can't be of anymore help, but as I said above, developping your listening skills is difficult and requires practice, so I can only say Good Luck

[ian055211]

Thank you. But is this as hard as the real test?

[ouliogroove]

I am afraid so... This is a sample from an actual TOEFL test, so it is as close to reality as it can get. However, the format sometimes vary. Which means that they might give you more lectures to listen to, but fewer questions to answer for each. Or they might give you fewer lectures, but more questions for each. But most of the time, it is 2 conversations ad 4 lectures, as presented in the videos.

Good luck!
