<span style="font-size: large;"><b>So what are the Writing and Speaking criteria?</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Writing and Speaking criteria are similar: both include a judgment on a candidate's vocabulary and grammar. In Writing, candidates must also describe, analyse, and argue well. In Speaking, pronunciation plays a major role. To achieve a high band in IELTS, it's important to understand exactly what marking criteria are.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Writing criteria </span></b><br />
There are four criteria for Writing. They're the same for Task 1 and Task 2. In brief, the criteria are:<br />
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Task Fulfilment [Also called Task Achievement or Task Response: Answering the question fully]</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Coherence and Cohesion [Word, sentence, paragraphs joined smoothly; a logical order throughout]</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Lexical Resource (Vocabulary)</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Grammatical Range and Accuracy (Grammar)</li>
</ol>
Each criterion carries the same weight. This is significant because, when asked, most candidates believe grammar is the most important thing in writing.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While each criterion is worth the same, a large amount of research has shown that one criterion-Lexical Resource, called Vocabulary in the book-is most difficult. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is because English vocabulary is vast. The most common problem IELTS candidates have is that their vocabulary is limited. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is boring, repetitive, childish, or inaccurate. Perhaps the tone of their language is also inappropriate. Essentially this is due to their not ever reading much in English. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reading exposes you to vocabulary most quickly. Probably, learners need to do three times the amount of work on vocabulary than they do on any of the other criteria to improve. This book reflects this necessity with a large number of activities on Vocabulary.</div>
<br />
As previously mentioned, candidates don't have a breakdown of criteria on their report form. But let's look at a typical score sheet an examiner has. This is for Writing for Task 1:<br />
<b>Task Fulfilment </b><b> </b><br />
<b> 6</b><br />
<b>Coherence & Cohesion </b><br />
<b> 6</b><br />
<b>Vocabulary </b><br />
<b> 5</b><br />
<b>Grammar </b><br />
<b> 6</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
The candidate gets 5.5 for this task.<br />
(By the way: there are no half bands within criteria.)<br />
<br />
Here is Writing score sheet for Task 2:<br />
<br />
<b>Task Fulfilment </b><br />
<b> 7</b><br />
<b>Coherence & Cohesion </b><br />
<b> 6</b><br />
<b>Vocabulary </b><br />
<b> 5</b><br />
<b>Grammar </b><br />
<b> 6</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
The candidate gets Six for this task.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Task 2 is worth 60% of the final mark; Task 1, 40%. The candidate above ends up with a Six as a Writing band.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Basically, Vocabulary was this candidate's weak point, and if it had been a Six anywhere, he or she would have ended up with 6.5 for Writing. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now perhaps it's a small difference between Six and 6.5, but let's say you're from Nepal, and you want to do an MA in Canada. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The university you've applied for asks for 6.5 for IELTS Writing for direct admission. If you get a Six, then you need to do an eight-week English-language course first. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That's another two months of your life you have to pay for and live through before starting your MA. If you're from Nepal, that could mean a lot of money.</div>
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Speaking criteria </span></b><br />
There are also four criteria for Speaking. Unlike Writing, where the tasks are rated separately, there is only one score given for the candidate's whole Speaking test. In brief, the criteria are:<br />
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Fluency and Coherence [The ability to keep speaking; accurate use of linkers; sound logic]</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Lexical Resource (Vocabulary)</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Grammatical Range and Accuracy (Grammar)</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Pronunciation</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can see that there's no Task Fulfilment criterion. This means the examiner doesn't judge the content of the candidate's answers-the candidate can say pretty much anything he or she likes. If you want to say your mother's an astronaut on the International Space Station and your father's Bill Gates' best mate, that's fine, as log as your English is correct.</div>
Like Writing, each criterion is worth 25%.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Generally, candidates still find Vocabulary problematic. Fluency is also a challenge because it's possible the candidate has never spoken for so long in English. Also, almost no teachers or textbooks focus on fluency. ( Is it anywhere in the table of Contents of your best mate's IELTS book?) Depending on what your first language is, pronunciation may be difficult. If you're German, it's not so hard; if you're Vietnamese, it's hell. Let's say you're from Ho Chi Minh City, and you want permanent residence in Australia. Currently, the Department of Immigration requires a Seven as a minimum for Speaking to get any points towards residence. Frankly, that's going to be extremely tough because time and time again even if you're really good, you'll get :</div>
<br />
<b>Fluency & Coherence </b><br />
<b> 7</b><br />
<b>Grammar </b><br />
<b> 7</b><br />
<b>Vocabulary </b><br />
<b> 7</b><br />
<b>Pronunciation </b><br />
<b> 6</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Overall Band = 6.5</b><br />
<br />
Hopefully this book will give your pronunciation a boost.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you've read this far, you've realised that IELTS is not just a matter of learning the question types (any old book deals with those), but more importantly understanding the marking criteria for Writing and Speaking. If you look at the table of Contents of this book, you'll see how each criterion is pulled apart and practised here. Then we put them all together for the practice test.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>How is IELTS marked ?</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the day of the test, the speaking is marked by the examiner who interviewed the candidate. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The writing is marked by another examiner. Listening and Reading are calculated by a clerk who is not a Speaking or Writing examiner. Therefore three different people evaluate one candidate's performance. Among other things, this reduces corruption as the examiners and clerical markers seldom know each other.</div>
As we have just learnt, IELTS uses bands. Do you remember this candidate?<br />
<br />
<b>Listening </b><br />
<b> 7</b><br />
<b>Reading </b><br />
<b> 6.5</b><br />
<b>Writing </b><br />
<b> 6</b><br />
<b>Speaking </b><br />
<b> 6.5</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Overall band</b><b> = 6.5</b><br />
<br />
Another candidate might get:<br />
<br />
<b>Listening </b><br />
<b> 5.5 </b><br />
<b>Reading </b><br />
<b> 5</b><br />
<b>Writing </b><br />
<b> 5</b><br />
<b>Speaking </b><br />
<b> 5</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Overall band = 5</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The majority of candidates have most skills or modules in the same band. if a candidate has one test that is two bands different from another, his or her paper is marked again, and the higher of the two marks becomes the new score.</div>
For example : a candidate gets:<br />
<b>Listening </b><br />
<b> 6</b><br />
<b>Reading </b><br />
<b> 5.5</b><br />
<b>Writing </b><br />
<b> 4</b><br />
<b>Speaking </b><br />
<b> 6</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Overall band = 5.5</b><br />
<br />
If his or her writing is marked again and is still a four or becomes a 4.5, then the Overall Band remains a 5.5. If a four goes up to a five, then the new Overall Band is a six. All this happens before the final report is sent out.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Listening and Reading</span></b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These two test are made up of 40 questions each that are either right or wrong. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are no half marks. The marking of these is fairly easy, but they are marked twice for accuracy. There are multiple versions of the Listening and Reading test. Each version differs slightly in its degree of difficulty. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They are all pre-tested. As you already know, Academic and GT Reading test are also different. Here's a guide to the scores needed for some bands for Listening and Reading. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since there are so many versions of these test, this table is approximate.</div>

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Writing and Speaking</span></b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you can imagine, Writing and Speaking are harder to mark than Listening and Reading since each candidate will give different answer. Candidates will, however, have common features, which determine their level.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For Writing and Speaking, these common features are described by special criteria at each band. (Look up 'criteria' in your dictionary now.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This book, McGraw-Hill's IELTS, is based on criterion marking, so it's important to understand how it works. A great many candidates prepare for IELTS without having any idea what they are being judged on, and so can't improve their performance effectively. Here, the criteria will be described and analysed. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For example, pronunciation is a Speaking criterion, but it's likely you've got only a vague idea what pronunciation means. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once you've understood what many things really make up pronunciation, then you can start learning how to pronounce English well.</div>
Remember this?<br />
<b>Listening </b><br />
<b> 7</b><br />
<b>Reading </b><br />
<b> 6.5</b><br />
<b>Writing </b><br />
<b> 6</b><br />
<b>Speaking </b><br />
<b> 6.5</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Overall Band = 6.5</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There's nothing about criteria on this report-nothing to tell you how the examiners reached their conclusions. A candidate knows only in a general sense that his Listening is stronger than everything else. He probably has no idea why his Writing got a Six. </div>

INTRODUCING IELTS </span></b><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>What is the IELTS exam?</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The international English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the world's largest exam, and as its name suggest, it is used to test English language for college and university entrance, as well as for immigration or registration with professional bodies.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are two kinds of IELTS tests: the academic test for further study and the General Training (GT) test for immigration.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is no pass or fail with IELTS. Instead,there are bands that show a person's level. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These bands range from 0-9. A Zero is a candidate who didn't come for the test; and a Nine is a native speaker-someone whose English is perfect. A five is a person who makes a lot of mistakes but can generally be understood. A Six is still an intermediate speaker, whereas a Seven is starting to get good. An Eight has perhaps only five or six errors in his or her 650 words of writing, and in the speaking test, makes only very occasional errors. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A six is not that hard to score, but a seven takes years of intensive study and usually residence in an English speaking country.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The bands are used by different institutions or authorities. If you want to attend university in many English-speaking countries, you need at least IELTS 5.5-the more famous the university, or the course, the higher the score you need. If you want permanent residence in canada, you need a seven. If you are a nurse and you want to continue nursing in australia, then you also need a seven overall, including a Seven in Speaking. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
IELTS has full and half bands, meaning that a person who gets 6.5 is better than a Six, but not yet a Seven. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One thing to note about these scores is that it's rather easy to go from a four to a 4.5, or even a five to a 5.5, but to progress beyond Six takes much longer. There are also candidates who never reach Six. You can't just take the test, take it again, and again and again, and hop on the fifth attempt you'll be handed a 6.5. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
No. You've got to fit the description of 6.5 in order to get it.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you'd like to know which nationalities or first languages currently achieve which scores, go to the IELTS website: <span style="color: red;">www.ielts.org.</span> There's plenty of interesting data there as well as free practice materials.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<b>What are the four parts of the test?</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
IELTS is made up of four sub-tests. candidates do all of them on one or two days . </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They are, in the order that they take place: Listening, Writing, and Speaking. The four tests are equally weighted, or if you think of it another way: worth 25% each. A band is given for each one, and there is also an average or Overall Band. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A candidate receives a report within two weeks of taking the test with five scores on it like this:</div>
</div>
<div>
<b>Listening </b><br />
<b> 7</b></div>
<div>
<b>Reading </b><br />
<b> 6.5</b></div>
<div>
<b>Writing </b><br />
<b> 6</b></div>
<div>
<b>Speaking </b><br />
<b> 6.5</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Overall Band = 6.5</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can see that the candidate above was best at Listening and worst at Writing. Reading and Speaking were the same. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The majority of candidates receive of report like this. It's very rare for one skill to be much better than another.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But what was the Listening test? What did the candidate need to do for writing?</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Read the table below about the IELTS Academic test to understand exactly what happens.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
GT is the same as Academic for Listening and Speaking, but a little different for Reading and Writing. </div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Rating of Speaking and Writing Responses</span></b></div>
<div>
<b>Speaking</b></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Responses to all six Speaking tasks are digitally recorded and sent to ETS. The responses from each test taker are scored by three to six different certified raters. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The responses for each task is rated on a scale from 0 to 40 according to the rubrics on pages 188-191. The average of all six ratings is converted to a scaled score of 0 to 30.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
Raters listen for the following features in test taker responses:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Delivery</b>: How clear was the speech? Good responses are fluid and clear, with good pronunciation, natural pacing, and natural-sounding intonation patterns.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Language use</b>: How effectively does the test taker use grammar and vocabulary to convey ideas? Raters determine the test taker's ability to control both basic and more complex language structures, and use appropriate vocabulary.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Topic development</b>: How fully do test takers answer the question and how coherently do they present their ideas? How well did the test taker synthesize and summarize the information in the integrated tasks? Good responses generally use all or most of the time allotted, and the relationship between ideas and the progression from one idea to the next are clear and easy to follow. </li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is important to note that raters do not expect test takers' responses to be perfect. Even high-scoring responses may contain occasional errors and minor problems in any of the three areas described above</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Writing </b></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Responses to all writing tasks also are sent to ETS. The responses are rated by two certified raters and the automated scoring system on a scale of 0 to 5 according to the rubrics on pages 200-201. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The average of the scores on the two writing tasks is converted to a scaled score of 0 to 30.</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The response to the integrated writing task is scored on the quality of writing (organization, appropriate and precise use of grammar and vocabulary) and the completeness and accuracy of the content.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The independent writing essay is scored on the overall quality of the writing: development, organization, and appropriate and precise use of grammar and vocabulary.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is important to note that the raters recognize that the responses are first drafts. They do not expect test takers to produce a well-researched, comprehensive essay. For that reason, test takers can earn a high score with a response that contains some errors.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Score Reports </b></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
TOEFL score report provide valuable information about a test taker's readiness to participate and succeed in academic studies in an English-speaking environment. Score report include:</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>four skill scores </li>
<li>total score</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Scores are reported online approximately 10 days after the test. Test takers can view their scores online at no charge. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Colleges, universities, and agencies receive paper score reports if the test taker has selected them as score recipients. (A paper copy of the score report is mailed to the test taker only upon request.) Test taker score reports also include performance feedback that indicates whether their performance was high, medium, or low, and describes what test takers in each score range typically know and can do with the English language.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Score requirements </b></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Each institution sets its own requirements for TOEFL scores. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Test takers should consult their target institutions to determine their specific TOEFL score requirements. A list of colleges, universities, and agencies that accept TOEFL scores and a list of institutional score requirements reported to ETS can be obtained at <b>www.toeflgoanywhere.org.</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In all academic situations where writing in English is required, students must be able to present their ideas in a clear. well-organized manner. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Writing section measures your ability to write English in an academic setting.</div>
<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Often, students need to write a paper or an essay response about what they are learning in their classes. This requires combining information they have heard in class lectures with what they have read in textbooks or other materials. This type of writing is referred to as integrated writing. In this type of writing, students must:</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Take notes on what they hear and read, and use them to organize information before writing</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Summarize, paraphrase, and cite information from the source material accurately</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Write about the ways the information they heard relates to the information they read</li>
</ol>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For example, in an academic course, a student might be asked to compare and contrast the points of view expressed by the professor in class with those expressed by an author in the assigned reading material. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The student must successfully draw information from each source to explain the contrast.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Student must also write essays that express and support their opinions. In this type of writing, known as independent writing, students express an opinion and support it based on their own knowledge and experience.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For example, students may be asked to write an essay about a controversial issue. The students use part, personal experience to support their opinion.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
In all types of writing, it is helpful for students to:</div>
<br />
<div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Identify one main idea and some major point that support it</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Plan how to organize the essay (For example, with an outline)</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Develop the essay by using reasons, examples, and details</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Express information in an organized manner</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Use effective linking words (transitional phrases) to connect ideas and help the reader understand the flow of ideas</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Use a range grammar and vocabulary for effective expression</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Use grammar and vocabulary accurately; use idiomatic expressions appropriately</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Follow the conventions of spelling, punctuation, and layout</li>
</ol>
<div>
<div>
<br />
<b>Description</b><br />
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The total time for the Writing section is 50 minutes. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Test takers write their responses to two writing tasks. Responses are typed into the computer and sent to ETS, where they are scored by both certified raters and the automated scoring system.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Listening section measures your ability to understand spoken English. In academic settings, students must be able to listen to lectures and conversations. Academic listening is typically done for one of the three following purposes:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Listening for basic comprehension</span></b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Comprehend the main idea, major points, and important details related to the main idea (Comprehension of all details is not necessary.)</li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Listening for pragmatic understanding</b></span><br />
<br />
<div>
<ul>
<li>Recognize a speaker's attitude and degree of certainty</li>
<li>Recognize the function or purpose of a speaker's statement</li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Connecting and synthesizing information</b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Recognize the organization of information presented</li>
<li>Understand the relationships between ideas presented (for example, compare/contrast, cause/effect, or steps in a process)</li>
<li>Make inferences and draw conclusion based on what is implied in the material</li>
<li>Make connections among pieces of information in a conversation or lecture</li>
<li>Recognize topic changes (for example, digressions and aside statements) in lecture and conversations, and recognize introductions and conclusions in lectures</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Listening material in the test includes academic lectures and long conversations in which the speech sounds very natural. You can take notes on any listening material throughout the entire test.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the listening material is played, you both see and hear each question before you see the answer choices. This encourage you to listen for main ideas.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
There are four question formats in the Listening section:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Traditional multiple-choice questions with four answer choices and a single correct answer</li>
<li>Multiple-choice questions with more than one answer (for example, two correct answers out of four choices or three answers out of five choices)</li>
<li>Questions that require you to order events or steps in a process</li>
<li>Questions that require you to match objects or text to categories in a chart</li>
</ul>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Reading section measures your ability to understand university-level academic texts and passages. In many academic settings around the world, students are expected to read and understand information from textbooks and other academic materials written in English. The following are three purposes for academic reading:</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Reading to find information</b></span><br />
<ul>
<li>Effectively scanning text for key facts and important information</li>
<li>Increasing reading fluency and rate</li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Basic comprehension</b></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Understanding the general topic or main idea, major points, important fact and details, vocabulary in context, and pronoun references</li>
<li>Making inferences about what is implied in a passage</li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Reading to learn</b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Recognizing the organization and purpose of a passage</li>
<li>Understanding relationships between ideas</li>
<li>Organizing information into a category chart or a summary in order to recall major points and important details</li>
<li>Inferring how ideas throughout the passage content</li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Reading Passages</b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The passages cover a variety of subjects. You should not be concerned if you are unfamiliar with a topic. The passage contains all the information needed to answer the questions.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All passages are classified into three basic categories:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Exposition</li>
<li>Argumentation</li>
<li>Historical</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Often, passages present information about the topic from more than one perspective or point of view. This is something you should note as you read. Usually, you are asked at least one question that allows you to demonstrate that you understood the general organization of the passage. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Common organization types that you should be able to recognize are:</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Classification</li>
<li>Compare/Contrast</li>
<li>Cause/Effect</li>
<li>Problem /Solution</li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Reading Question Formats</b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
There are three question formats in the Reading section:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Questions with four choices and a single correct answer in traditional multiple-choice format</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Questions with four choices and a single answer that ask test takers to "insert a sentence" where it fits best in a passage</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">"Reading to learn" questions with more than four choices and more than one possible correct answer.</li>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">TOEFL iBT merupakan generasi test format terbaru, Lama Pengerjaan TOEFL iBT sekitar 3.5 sampai 4 Jam. TOEFL iBT mengharuskan test center mempunyai koneksi internet yang stabil. Rasanya untuk ukuran Jakarta tidak masalah dengan internet, karena sudah banyak TOEFL iBT di Jakarta yang mempunya standar yang bagus untuk bisa menyelenggarakan tes ini.</span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">TOEFL iBT dibagi menjadi 4 bagian antara lain :</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Reading </b>sekitar 60-80 menit</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Listening </b>sekitar 60-90 menit</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red; font-family: inherit;">Lalu kemudian anda di berikan waktu sekitar 10 menit untuk istirahat atau break, di lanjutkan dengan :</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Speaking </b>sekitar 20 menit</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Writing </b>sekitar 50 menit</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Walaupun test TOEFL hanya meliputi 4 kemampuan berbahasa Inggris, namun yang perlu di ingat untuk mendapatkan score TOEFL iBT yang tinggi, anda harus menguasai beberapa kemapuan / skills bahasa Inggris lainya seperti Grammar, Vocabulary, Spelling, pronunciation atau bahkan Mind-mapping dan lain lain.</span></div>

<b><br /></b><b>Bagaimana Cara Mendaftar TOEFL ?</b><br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Proses untuk mendaftar untuk mengikuti test TOEFL iBT tidaklah sulit. Berikut saya tuliskan langkah langkah untuk mendaftar test TOEFL iBT :</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Membuat account di www.ets.org/toefl</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Dengan account yang telah di buat, silahkan login untuk melakukan order tanggal test</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Setelah selesai order tanggal test, print Ticket Confirmation page untuk bukti pendaftaran</li>
</ul>
<b>Biaya TOEFL iBT Test</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Biaya test TOEFL iBT adalah US$190, pembayaran dapat di lakukan dengan kartu kredit, voucher atau paypal pada saat melakukan registrasi atau booking test. Bagi yang tidak mempunyai kartu kredit pembayaran bisa di lakukan dengan datang langsung ke <b><i><span style="color: orange;">Cornell Language Center. </span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rukan Manyar Blok C / No. 8, Pantai Indah Kapuk, Jakarta Utara. Telp. 021-56947377.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Dokumen yang di Bawa Pada Saat Test</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Banyak yang mengabaikan peraturan yang mengharuskan peserta test untuk membawa dokumen Asli baik berupa Passpor, KTP atau SIM. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kalau mengikuti peraturan dari ETS. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Peserta tes yang tidak membawa dokumen yang asli tidak diperbolehkan mengikuti test</b>, walaupun kadang ada kebijaksanaan dari tempat test itu sendiri, yang pada akhirnya mengijinkan peserta yang tidak membawa kelengkapan dokumen pada saat test Toefl iBT untuk tetap mengikuti test dengan catatan.</div>
