Official TOEFL iBTTests Volume 1

Using The Digital Components

The questions on the digital download are from actual TOEFL iBT tests. However, the screens and delivery formats are not identical to the actual test. When you take the actual TOEFL iBT test, you may notice some variations in how the questions are presented to you on screen.

Installation

Once you download the files, click on the file labeled Audio to copy and save the audio tracks to your device for use in working through the eBook tests. Click on the file labeled Setup to be guided through a short series of screens. At the end of the process, the program of electronic practice tests will be installed on your computer. To install the computer practice tests, drag the program icon to the Applications folder. For both PCs and Macs, an icon labeled TOEFL Tests Vol 1 will appear on your desktop. Click on that icon to start the program.

Main Menu

When you launch the program, this screen appears:

Taking TOEFL iBT Tests on Your Computer

From the Main Menu, choose Test 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Then click on the test section you wish to take: Reading, Listening, Speaking, or Writing. Note that you can take each section more than once.

When you open a test section, you will first see the instructions for that section. A timer on the screen shows how many minutes and seconds you have left for that section. You can hide the timer if you find it distracting.

If you must take a break during the test, click on the Menu button at the bottom and then select Back to Main Menu. Your work will not be lost, and when you resume, you will begin exactly where you left off. The timer clock will stop while you are on your break and will restart immediately when you resume the test. Try not to take breaks too often, because on the actual test, the clock keeps running even if you leave the room on a break.

Answering Questions

To answer the questions in the Reading and Listening sections, click on the corresponding answer oval or follow the instructions given. For some questions, you will need to select more than one answer choice. Once you select your answer(s), the Next button is enabled. Click on it to move forward to the next question. For the Reading section, you can move back to review your answer choice by clicking on the Previous button.

For the Speaking section, you should record your response to each question into a recording device after you hear the instruction telling you to begin speaking. Stop recording once the response time expires.

For the Writing section, write your response to each question in the space provided in the time allowed.

When all the questions in a section have been answered, click on the Next button to complete the section.

Playing Audio Tracks

In the Listening, Speaking, and Writing sections, you will listen to audio tracks. Audio controls are available at the bottom of the screen. At the end of a track, click on Next button to start answering questions.

Your Performance

On the Main Menu, click on a section of any test you have taken. You will get information on when you completed the section and your score for the Reading and Listening sections only. Select Review Section. For each question in the Reading and Listening sections, you will see the correct answer. For the Speaking and Writing sections, you will see descriptions of what you need to do to get a high score. You can evaluate your responses using the descriptions and the scoring rubrics provided in of the book.

Working Through the Tests in the eBook

You may choose to work through the tests as you proceed through the eBook rather than using the interactive tests. If so, you will still need to listen to the audio tracks. From your copied and saved Audio folder, you can select the audio tracks by number as they are numbered in the eBook. As you work through the tests in the eBook, you will be told when to play each audio track. Each time you need to play a track, you will see the following symbol: . Click on the number of the track as instructed in the eBook.
