Second attempt at TOEFL exam

• before: First Attempt at TOEFL

• 5/15 Sat

• I only had three days to prepare, oh no

• I hope studying for the SAT a week ago Taking the SAT for the Second Time will help me, but I wonder how effective it actually is

  • The patterns seem quite different
    • Maybe I need to make an effort to abandon my thorough evidence-based thinking

• In the end

  • Reading 27, Listening 30, Speaking X, Writing X
  • R/L sections, dropped by one point.. haha
  • Speaking/Writing doesn’t seem better than last time either
    • Well, I just have to wait for the results while hoping for a score in the upper range of random fluctuations

• I should be able to improve in Speaking and Writing a bit more

• Results

  • 105
  • I didn’t feel much progress, so I’m happy that I improved
  • Reading and Listening are probably within the margin of error
  • Speaking +2, didn’t improve much after all
    • If I practice properly with PDCA, maybe I can improve a bit more
    • I could only do practice to the extent that I could remember the format this time
  • Writing +5
    • It improved quite a bit, maybe because I was conscious of what I wrote in TOEFL Writing
