My frst TOEFL in 3 hours... [#permalink]
 15 May 2008, 22:39
I have my first exam in 3 hours. I do not expect to break 110-level as it is required by HBS, but eventually it is the first real thing after my mad study. So, guys, just say me good luck!

Good luck
although I don't see why you need to take the toefl, your written english is better than most people living in english speaking countries. The toefl does not test for oral conversational skill, or does it?

Thanx !  gmatnub wrote: The toefl does not test for oral conversational skill, or does it? Actually it does and it is why TOEFL is a problem for me. But on the other hand, It is almost impossible to be successful in business and to be accepted to HBS without upper level oral skills. So, TOEFL is a good reason to develop those skills. Thank you again, I go....

My first real step is made. Actually, I'm more happy than frustrated. Some misunderstandings of the conditions of reading section hurt me strong. TOEFL reading was always my the strongest part (I usually loose only 1-3 points of 30), but not this day. Texts were tough. But other sections and even speaking were easier than I expected and the most important that I can speak not so bad !!! Of course, I'm far from my target 110, but I see light at the end of a tunnel. So, Thank all and welcome to GMAT preparation as my first GMAT attempt will be soon on May 28. See you, guys, in the threads of the forum
