TOEFL iBT Preparation
Prepare for the TOEFL iBT with a structured, section-by-section programme.
About this course
Prepare for the TOEFL iBT with a structured, section-by-section programme. Over eight days you will learn how the reading, listening, speaking and writing sections work, what each task is looking for and how responses are scored.
Strategy sessions are followed by timed practice in the computer-based format, so you build speed as well as accuracy. Note-taking, academic vocabulary and speaking under time pressure receive particular attention, and full practice tests help you measure progress and plan your final revision. Exam fees are separate and paid to the exam provider.
