VIP Class Notes (Nicholas)

Alex is prepping for his second TOEFL exam. We did a number of listening exercises on his phone and practiced completing his answered within the 60-second allotment.

Focus on not getting caught up/slowed down by formulating more complex words on the exam — this just breaks your momentum and makes you tense. Express the idea and move on.

Actively listening and taking structured notes to organize your thoughts. Focusing on order, idea and example.

Using your 15-second pre speaking time to relax yourself and make sure you are addressing the question components directly and in order.
