Do I have to complete both tests?
Unfortunately you have to complete both. Do you need help for registration?
Because you want to be in the U.S. as quickly as possible. I suggest you read the tests as quickly as possible to see what is required and complete. Following this, we can turn to the more pleasant part of the work and complete the appropriate scholarship for you.
How much preparation time I need some for the test?
The amount of course preparation depends on you
If you study every day for 1-2 hours for both tests, 6 weeks of preparation will prepare you very well. If you prepare three times a week for one hour, you should need two and a half months.
How many points should I get on the TOEFL or SAT?
For the SAT and TOEFL, you can definitely prepare very well and improve your score considerably. In total there are 2400 points on the SAT that can be achieved and you should score at least 1200 points. 1500 points is a decent value, and will open the doors at many universities. Of course, the higher the better;)
For TOEFL you should achieve 80 points (out of 120). But it is all a matter of preparation. It is optimal if you plan your preparation over 4-6 weeks and 4-5 times a week for 1-2 hours with the literature. We suggest that you work with the materials that we recommend. These are books with which our customers and we have had the best experience.
Do I need to provide my future college, when I register for the TOEFL?
Universities that you you have already approached can be excluded. You can send your test scores to three universities for free. I recommend that you can send the score to your favorites. If a great offer for you comes in, it is also possible to send the score later on. The coaches ask as a first step, whether you have completed the test and passed.
I must send my SAT and the TOEFL scores. How do I know to which college I need to send it?
Moreover, Should I send the SAT scores even though I have not yet been accepted? At the moment we do not know which universities will make offers. Therefore you cannot currently provide the details of which college to send your scores score is sent. The sending of the scores is also possible at a later date. Once you’ve decided on a college, we will send you the TOEFL identification number of the university. In order for the ETS to know to which university to send your score. Again, we cannot send them yet. You should also sign up for the test to the score without even having to send in advance. If you continue to have problems, please send me a “screenshot” from the point where you are in the registration and I’ll help you from there. (Help screenshot. http://www.philognosie.net/index.php/tip/tipview/127/)
TOEFL, I read that I also really need to talk during the test. Is this via the computer?
Yes, you’ll sit in front of a computer with a headset and microphone. The computer will talk to you and ask you to speak in a monologue. More information on the oral part can be found on the ETS website and in any TOEFL preparation book.
Have you seen our presentation that will help with the TOEFL?
Recommended literature is detailed.
TOEFL test, my admission ticket was mailed to you. Is it sufficient for me to just add this on the test profile information?
You take the printed Admission ticket to the TOEFL test in all cases. It is also important to take your ID card or passport.
Both in the SAT and the TOEFL my name on the registration form, is Andrea Geiger. However, I have two more names. Will I have to change or I will be accepted anyway?
When connected to the TOEFL institution, the name on the registration must match exactly the name you use on the day of the test. So you must change your registration to be your exact name, otherwise you will not be accepted for review. The TOEFL is very restrictive on this point. Please keep me informed if you need help.
Can I change the name I have given during registration?
It is not actually the name that appears on my identification documents.
You can change your name by calling on the following satellite phone number:
In the SAT application it says that you should bring a CD player. Why is that?
The CD player is needed only for the language test and not for normal TV.
