The TOEFL test preparation course is for students who are determined to have advanced skills based on Excel’s placement exam.

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is a standardized test measuring the English language ability of non-native speakers who aspire to enter a university in America. Most English-speaking academic institutions accept the TOEFL test. The TOEFL exam measures four English language skills: reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The entire exam takes about four hours, and you’ll receive a score from 0-30 for each individual section and a total score of 0-120 for the entire test.

The reading portion of the TOEFL test is designed to gauge how well you read and understand materials common an academic setting. What is the reading test like? After reading 3-4 passages from university-level textbooks, you will answer 10 questions about each segment with a time limit for completion.

Understanding conversations and lectures is the main the objective of the listening portion of the TOEFL. You will be tested on basic comprehension but also on the speaker’s attitude and degree of certainty. This part of the test is broken up into two sections: 2-3 conversations and 3-4 lectures. You will answer questions on the content of each with a time limit for completion.

The writing section of the TOEFL measures your level of ability when writing academic material. There are two tasks for the written portion of the exam. For the first, you’ll be asked to listen to a lecture or read a text. After listening or reading, you’ll answer a question. The second task is an opinion essay, where you compose your own response to a question.

The prep course is three months long and divided into three 4-week sessions, which may be taken independently. Each session consists of 72 hours of classroom instruction.

The three-month class is designed to give students the strategies and coaching needed to achieve an optimal score on the TOEFL test; preparing you section by section. After an initial evaluation and throughout the class, we determine which parts of the test need additional attention in order to maximize results.
