Hi there all non-native speakers of English,

can anyone tell me if the TOEFL was hard or easy? I know what it is like, I gotta take the iBT TOEFL online and I know what the fields are and all, just wanna know out of experience, how hard is it and is it possible to get full 120 on it or not? Do you have to have everything right to get 120?

Anyone know? Would be great. Thanx

well, my fiance took it last year... and din't even study or anything... and got 283. (Computerized) was pretty easy for him.

I took iBT last June, it was okay for me. Of course to hit 120 you will need to ace all the questions. Whether it's hard or not, it depends on how good your English is right now and how you plan to prepare (or not to prepare at all).

TOEFL:

You need to learn the strategies of how to take this specialised test:

listening: short vs. long conversation
reading: main idea vs specific info
writing: into/body/conclusion with transition words
grammar: need to review
Speakng?

defintely get tutor or short course at community college

it is easy for relatively fluent non-native english speakers.. but could be kind of hard if his/her english is sketchy. . just take a practice test to see (available in those TOEFL study guides they sell)
