hi i want to know if you recommend people to undergo toefl exam preparation? i am a nurse from philippines and want to upgrade here in canada, but before i could go to a university for a course, they need toefl grades.. so in your experience, is it ok to just self review or attend review classes? and can you evaluate my english here too?
thank you so much.. appreciated!

You have a point there. But for me, instead of attending a review class that would c0st $500, I rather review by myself and retake that would cost less than $500. Now, I am afraid of failing my first TOEFL exam because I wont be having a proper review.. So I'm really thinking which is better to do..
Do you take ibt?
Don't know how good your english is, but if your english is good, you shouldn't need a course.
The prep books are very good and you can practise the speaking session recording yourself.
And read newspapers, scientific articles, whatever, to help with speed, vocabulary and understanding difficult topics. Watch movies, news etc in english.
good luck

For TOEFL iBT, you have the chance to read the paragraphs again for the reading and writing. But the questions are not constructed in a way that you just pick out the answer. It will test your COMPREHENSION skills under limited time. Practice reading more on sciences (any of its branches). For the speaking, questions are very simple. Learn to talk to a computer to take off the awkward factor. You will be given a minute or less to construct your thoughts before the computer will ask you to speak.
