Strong Reading and Listening skills form the foundation of a high TOEFL score. These sections test your ability to understand academic content quickly and accurately.
For Reading, focus on skimming and scanning techniques. You don’t need to understand every word—identify main ideas, supporting details, and the writer’s purpose. Practicing with timed passages helps improve speed and accuracy.
For Listening, train yourself to take effective notes. TOEFL lectures and conversations move quickly, so learning how to capture key points without writing too much is essential. Focus on transitions, examples, and conclusions.
Consistent exposure to English lectures, podcasts, and academic discussions will strengthen both sections. Over time, this approach improves comprehension, confidence, and overall TOEFL performance.
