This experience
was initiated by someone from ETS asking me to "try pilot the
new TOEFL". I was simply asked to try the new TOEFL and
rewarded a voucher to do the test and $70 in
adittion.
----Yes I took the new TOEFL iBT today which
will start at September this year? ... here is some insight
about the new TOEFL ---
Brief
Introduction
There are some changes in the
design and in the structure of the test. It looks more
interesting and sophisticated than the previous one. Buttons
are three dimensional and located conveniently at the
top.
First you do to the reading, listening, speaking,
and finally writting. Please note that there is no grammar
section on the new TOEFL.
To provide articulate
anaylsis on all these sections.. please let me
start
Reading
Thee is much
change a the reading party, and pretty much similar to the
previous version. However, it may seems more workable as they
divide the reading into 2 separate sections. Each section
contain 2 readings with given time. Although basically its the
same, at least you are not bombarded with 4 at once.
Here are some new kind of questions which rarely
appear on the old version
-Find a best sentence which
describe the selected sentence on the passage (correct
sentence should contain accurate information based on the
passage)
-Making prediction / Projection. Its kindda
silly and lil bit hard though this part.. all answers seems
similar to me since no answer is included on the passage;
basically its a test of luck?
-Summary. There will be
one senence to introduce you for something, then you should
choose few alternative that best suit the introduction. This
question weighted more than usual question
-Please be
aware. Many old questions type still come out. Such as
inference, the main topic? why? what? what the words
specifically mean? add a sentence to the passage? .. yea so
basically its pretty much the same ^^
