Better TOEFL Scores

To be intelligible in English, you must be able to pronounce your vowel sounds correctly. Since there are fifteen vowel sounds in American English, it is also important to differentiate among different vowel sounds. Three such vowels are the [U] as in rook, the [u] as in blue, and the [?] as in rut. Having intelligible pronunciation is especially important to your score in TOEFL iBT speaking since TOEFL iBT human raters will need to understand your pronunciation in order to give you a score on your six speaking tasks. The fewer problems you have clearly articulating the [U], the [u], and the [?] vowel sounds, the better chance you have of getting a high TOEFL iBT score.
Nonetheless, it is difficult for non-native speakers to have clear pronunciation with these sounds. First, non-native speakers may be unsure which sounds spelling patterns represent which of the these vowels. Second, these same speakers may not know the phonetic difference among these three vowel sounds. Finally, these non-native speakers may not have had enough regular speaking practice with native speakers to know how to pronounce these sounds clearly. Do any of these characteristics describe you?

Who should take the TOEFL® test?
Almost all universities and colleges in North America use the TOEFL test to determine if foreign students are eligible to study at their institution. Many businesses and government agencies also use the test as proof of English ability. TOEFL has, therefore, become one of the most recognized standardized English tests in the world. Anyone whose current or future education plan includes studying in an English speaking university or college should write the TOEFL test.
How should I prepare for the TOEFL® test?
Candidates for the TOEFL test usually prepare for the test in two basic ways; either through self-study or by taking a TOEFL preparation course. A combination of both methods usually produces the best results.
Self-study is convenient and inexpensive but it can be difficult to find the right resources to study efficiently for the various parts of the test. It is especially difficult to self-study for the reading and writing sections of the test.

Study Tips
http://isc.qmuc.ac.uk/
Do you want to brush up your knowledge of English? Do you want to improve your skills? Here you can find links to many useful websites which will give you the information and practice you need to polish your English! Make sure you keep a vocabulary list. Write lists of words and definitions, and then cover up one half - see how much you can remember. Write sentences with gaps which need to be filled with a certain word or expression - then look at the sentences a week or two later and see how many gaps you can fill without looking at the answers.

As with vocabulary, remember that the most important thing is not to learn rules, but to use them when speaking and writing. It is much easier to do this in writing, as you have a lot more time to compose your sentences, so try out new grammar structures in writing first. Your diary provides you with a great opportunity to do this!
