Also the Toefl test can be taken to achieve a scholarship, work, promotions, etc. The test consists of 4 parts or sections: reading, writing, speaking, and listening (all about one hour each). You need to prepare well before taking the test of Toefl and when you enter the exam you need to concentrate and try to answer the questions that you know (time is very important and can not be wasted on one one question) foe example if you think there is a question that you are not so sure about leave it and go to the next one if you have time later you can come back to it. time can be a major factor to get a better score in your test. In the listening section try to listen carefully to the speakers. Normally it is better it take a sample test before entering the actual exam (getting your self familiar with the test can save you a lot of time and increase your score). To study TOEFL you need to have the right materials, such as books, CDs, and practice tests. It is very important to get yourself familiar with the test before taking the actual test.
