IELTS is easier

Gmat/GRE tests your analytical and reasoning skills. Gmat is mostly for over seas management studies and Gre is for masters and PhD studies. IELTS (universally accepted),TOEFL (mainly for USA) are language tests which is primarily required along with Gmat,Gre. There are few management colleges in Canada,Ireland, Australia which are accepting only IELTS score-band 7.5.

Post gre, toefl reading passages you will find easy. Listening is the most scoring section on toefl-ensure that you listen to as many audios and practice well. Speaking you will need to practise with a tutor. 2nd Writing section of toefl is similar to gre issue topic of essay. It's about your personal opinion. You should solve all barrons 7 toefl tests and 3 ets toefl tests.

Students sop,lors, work experience, projects undertaken, internships, extra curricular activities, etc will play a major role as pre requisites.

Getting only good scores on toefl,gre would not stand alone to get into good colleges. Your work experience, profile , previous academics, extra curricular activities would also play a very crucial role for the final admit. There are students getting 309-315 on GRE and 95 on toefl, still getting final admit into reputed institutes because of the other listed factors as above. The institute will also ask you questions in the online for as why you want to pursue Masters. Ms, etc which you need to fill tactfully. Your sop,lors will also play an important role in admission.

Toefl is an English language test. Sat is to test the conginitive ability of a student. Decent Toefl score is 95+ and a decent sat score should be in the range of 1200-1250. Few institutes may take students even at 1100's scores. But these institutes may not be good.

do not buy any subscription packages. if needed brows a lot of TOEFL training videos on youtube and practice with them. 

learn the pattern of the paper and get your hands on the templates they provide for free. if you do it properly you can get a safe marking (100/120)

I believe TOEFL Preparation should be a complete exercise, and not part by part. After all, it is one’s command over the English language that we are talking about, and that would mean spoken, written, and all else. Having said that, let us see how the TOEFL Speaking Section can be faced the best.

Know what would be expected of you. Prepare yourself accordingly. You can gather some valuable tips on TOEFL Speaking Section from this link here.

It would be a good idea to enhance your vocabulary. However, adopting a fake accent can cause more embarrassment than good, so one would advise you to refrain from doing so. Just make sure your pronunciation is correct and clear, and you can also think of using some good English and even quotations, as and where applicable, if you can do it well. Here is some advice on using quotations in conversation, in case you wish to venture it.

The basic idea is to speak clearly, and with confidence. You need to have a good grammar for that. Please work towards it.

Reading good books, watching suitable English programmes on TV etc. can help.

Wish you the very best!

You must be Crystal clear with the language whether its reading, writing, listening and speaking. Because to clear these exams you need to be thorough with the language in all aspects. Always watch movies that have british or American accent films it helps you to understand the language and modulate it in your mind and gradually you become familiar with the language

Hi, Are you looking for the some best TOEFL books to help prepare you for the test and boost your score? Look no further. Here are our reviews and list of the top 10 best TOEFL preparation books for 2016-2017, along with reviews.

Although any of these recommended TOEFL study guides (often misspelled as “TOFEL”) would be an excellent choice, see for yourself which guide meets your particular needs best.

Here are the list and reviews of top 10 best TOEFL iBT books for 2016.

1. The Official Guide to the TOEFL Test

There are three good things about the Official Gide:

1. It has the most truthful description of what you see on the TOEFL iBT

2. The practice sets at the ends of the chapters

3. The three practice tests on CD (and in the back of the book) But none of it is perfect, oddly. The description of the test comes with almost no strategy or advice. For example, there is nothing about skipping a text in the reading section or looking at the first question before you start reading. Also, there aren’t very many practice sets for some question types, such as speaking. And one of the practice tests in the back is old and imperfect, from just after ETS had started making iBT, before they made small adjustments to the format. Even the CD is imperfect—the software is not exactly the same as software you’ll use on test day, although it is similar.

But there is still no better way to get realistic practice tests for a low price, and especially to get them on the computer, like a real TOEFL iBT.

Having the “real” questions gives students an accurate sense of the level of difficulty and what is actually expected of them on the day of the test. Finally, the book concludes with a helpful section at the end, the “Writer’s Handbook,” that explains basic English language principles.

Overall, this is a great choice for TOEFL preparation, although test-takers are well advised to supplement the guide with other study aids that contain additional model exams.

2. Cambridge Preparation for the TOEFL Test

Cambridge University Press is among the leading publishers with a comprehensive TOEFL book on the market. This latest edition, published in 2014, contains access to online TOEFL practice tests.

The package offers a large variety of skill-building exercises and progress checks designed to help improve grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and test study skills. Additionally, Cambridge now offers four practice tests that are contained in the book. The book, via an access code, also provides access to online practice tests (including the tests from the book plus an additional set of three practice tests). The online tests closely simulate the TOEFL iBT’s actual computerized format that you encounter in a test center and even generate a score, both of which are great tools for test-takers. Cambridge also offers a separate listening program with a set of audio CD-ROMs.

This is an old favorite of mine. Cambridge has two major advantages:

1. There are seven full-length tests on the included CD, and they’re even more similar to the real TOEFL software than is the software on the Official Guide CD.

2. In the book itself, there are hundreds of pages of skill-building materials. No other book focuses on TOEFL-specific skills like Cambridge does. Take, for example, the process of writing a full essay paragraph. First, you need a main point. Cambridge has an exercise for that. Then, you need an explanation of that point, preferably with specific details. Cambridge has an exercise for that, too. Then, you need a transition into another detail. There’s an exercise for that, of course. If the Complete Guide is “step-by-step,” Cambridge is “step-by-step-by-step.” The skills you need for the TOEFL are broken downincredibly thoroughly.

There are two clear flaws, though:

1. Some practice material is too difficult, and not well written.

2. In order to use half of the skill-build...
