Hey everyone, I just got my TOEFL score today and wanted to share it with you all! I scored R24, L27, S27, and W28. It’s not the highest compared to some people here but I’m really happy because it meets all the advanced-level criteria and shows C1 fluency. This was my third attempt to take the exam and after six months of preparation while a very busy job, I feel proud of the effort I put in.

I mainly practiced with TPO tests and I can’t stress enough how helpful they were for getting used to the real exam format and timing. After each test, I went through every mistake carefully not just checking the answers but really understanding why I got them wrong. For reading, learning to identify question types and focus on the right parts of the passage saved me a lot of time. For Listening, taking neat, organized notes and actively predicting what the speaker would say made a huge difference.

Speaking was my weak spot so I dedicated about 45–60 minutes a day to Task 1, recording myself and paying attention to fluency, pronunciation and sentence structure. Using natural connectors like However, Furthermore and Therefore made my answers smoother. For Writing, I developed a simple but solid structure to keep my ideas clear and manage my time efficiently. My biggest tip: it’s not about studying 8 hours a day even 15–20 minutes of focused practice consistently will pay off.

Finally, I want to give a big thanks to my TOEFL tutor, Metages Mesfin. His guidance, strategies and encouragement made a huge difference throughout my preparation. I’m proud to be one of his students and I really believe his advice helped me get this score.

Hi sir, I have finally managed to get 118 . Thanks for all the support and encouragement.
