Hi Guys , I am very disappointed by seeing my recent TOEFL Test score , I got 69/120 (R=18 , L=11 , Speaking=18 , Writing=22) Test Dated 17 December 2016. I use NOTEFULL Mastery course for preparation (2 weeks preparation time) , I also used Kaplan Book for Test preparation. Here is My details for Test:
1- Reading: I got 56 Questions in my Reading Section, I spent 25 minutes on my first passage that was really tough , When I was left with only 48 minutes I got very nervous and lost my patience. I started trembling thinking of decreasing time. I was at question# 42 & time left was only 6 minutes. In my last passage i guess only.
2- Listening: Believe me during break after my listening section I was thinking of getting 30/30 , I am really shocked how can I get such low score in listening , I am pretty sure there was some errors . I really don't know the reason of my low score in listening.
3- Speaking: My native language is URDU , But I think I am good in speaking English , I use NOTEFULL resources and strategy for test , I don't know why I got 18 in speaking.
4- Writing: I was pretty sure to get at least 28/30 in writing , Topics were much familiar and easy , I wrote 500 word essay in Second question. I got 22/30.
I am Engineer by profession , My salary is 340$ which is pretty low , I can only attempt such high priced test once per year, I need suggestions from you guys , Should I retake the test or go for second option which is IELTS. I need 98 marks for immigration purpose or 7 band in each module of IELTS.
