Je dois dire que ces tests sont très utiles pour la
préparation de l’examen TOEFL iBT. Voici mes remarques en anglais concernant la
pratique des tests TPO.
The tests
in TPO are very similar to actual TOEFT test. I think that it is a valuable
source to achieve high scores. I have done 7 tests of Cambridge, 8 tests of Barron, 4 tests of
Kaplan and 39 tests of TPO. The tests from other sources than TPO are good at
the beginning of my toelf preparation because I can use them to evaluate my
progress. However, these tests are not similar to the TOEFL test in terms of
questions. They have all types of reading and listening question. However, I
think that the way the questions are formed is slightly different from
questions of TPO tests. That’s why I only practiced 39 TPO tests near the end
of my preparation and before my actual tests.
I took
three months to do 39 TPO tests. I have acquired a very large vocabulary in
different fields such as chemistry, astronomy, biology, psychology, earth
science, arts, literature etc…Thanks to
a friend who has helped me to find such 39 valuable TPO tests. The first
five tests are actually the five tests in the ETS book .
I made a
sheet of paper in which I wrote the scores of each test and taken dates. I
learned from my mistakes to improve for the next tests. I did again listening
or reading sections that I got a score below 24 points.
The
speaking section of the 37 TPO tests is extremely useful to practice speaking.
I used a voice recorder software named PAMUS Recorder to record my speaking. I
review my recorded speeches to analyze errors and to improve fluency, sentence
variation, intonation and natural pace.
Finally, I acquired a habit of speaking in front of a micro.
I spent a
lot of time doing the first question of the writing section. I have done all 37
question 1 of the writing section. My weak point was that I forgot what the
lecturer said at the beginning to report in the writing section. The more I
practiced, the more I improved. However, I did not achieve a perfect level that
I expected. I also changed my writing
templates several times until I find a good one.
What I have to say is that TPO tests are the only valuable sources to practice before the actual exams.
