Why it's important to get a speaking review

The TOEFL speaking section is considered the toughest section in the TOEFL.

Although you can easily practice preparing your response in a short time frame by using our TOEFL practice tests, improving your overall English proficiency, speaking response structure, and communicating with cohesion requires constant feedback.

You can get feedback on your speaking responses by asking a friend or colleague or by finding your own personal tutor. It doesn't matter how you get the feedback, just make sure you get it.

Do you know what mistakes you are making in your speaking responses?

Each country, be it India, Brazil, Russia, etc, have their own special way of putting together sentences. Because of this, students who share the same native language tend to make similar mistakes in their speaking response.

Our TOEFL speaking reviewers will help you to understand those common mistakes by breaking down your speaking response with explanations on how to improve. You'll start to see major improvements in your speaking responses after just a few reviews.

How to get 26 in the speaking section

To get 26 or more on the speaking section, you'll need to deliver responses that are easily understood without distracting listeners from what is being said.

Learning how to pronounce and intonate like a native English speaker is crucially important.

In addition to having a very clear delivery during the speaking test, you need to demonstrate control with your language use. It means that you should have few issues with your word choices and grammar usage.

Finally, you need to develop your speaking response in an organized manner with details and examples to help the listener with understanding.

The above-mentioned three areas: speech delivery, language use, and topic development represent categories in rubrics that TOEFL raters will use when grading TOEFL independent and integrated speaking tasks.

What our speaking reviews include

When you decide to get a speaking review, which you should if you want to improve your speaking score, the audio feedback will focus on:

1. Pronunciation
2. Speed of speech
3. Intonation
4. Vocabulary
5. Grammar
6. Topic development
7. Connection of ideas

In addition to the audio feedback, you will get a score and a report based on several speaking criteria. The criteria are as follows:

1. Task Fulfillment

With each review, you'll get better at structuring your response and communicating your thoughts cohesively. If you don't get feedback on your speaking responses, you'll make the language specific mistakes mentioned earlier and will not achieve a good TOEFL score.

Why it's important to get a writing review

Many students struggle with improving their writing score because they're repeatedly making the same mistakes.

This recurring situation is sad because those mistakes are the biggest killer in your TOEFL writing score and could have been easily avoided if one had received sufficient feedback.

For this reason alone, it's extremely important and necessary to get feedback on your TOEFL writing essays to determine where you are making the same mistakes and how you can avoid them.

How to get 26 in the writing section

A favourite question we often get from our students is "How do I get 26 on the writing section?".

The answer...which most students hate hearing...is that there is no shortcut to scoring high on the writing section.

So how do you score 26 on the writing section?

The solution is simple, but takes hard work and dedication.

1. Complete our TOEFL writing lessons: By completing our writing lessons, you'll learn how to write basic and advanced essay structures and learn about common pitfalls the average unprepared student encounters.
2. Read a lot of high-scoring TOEFL essays: Reading high scoring essays will help teach your brain what a good essay reads like, so you can practice simulating the same structure, transitions, and coherence.
3. Practice writing your own essays: This is obvious, but still critical in your success.
4. Get feedback on your essay: We've already gone over this, but you need to know where you are making mistakes and correct them. Getting feedback on your essays is the only way you'll know if you're doing well or need a lot of improvement. If you can find a native English speaker who will do it for free, that is even better. But you should offer them something in return as it takes a lot of time and effort to provide detailed feedback on an essay.
