-

Let's begin with the insides of the TOEFL exam. Before going for your TOEFL exam make sure you have these things in your backpack.

  • Photocopy of your Hall Ticket.
  • Identity proof. Please make sure that you carry your Passport along with you and also other identity proof document which you feel is necessary.
  • Some snacks for the 10 mins Break.
Before your TOEFL exam starts, you would go through some pre check protocol.
  • You would be asked to wear the your headphones and few questions would be asked to which you have to give answer.
  • This protocol is used to check whether your voice is clearly recorded on the server.
  • Moreover, you can set the volume of the system according to your ear comfort.
And as soon as all the initial steps are completed, you will be forwarded to Reading section.

Reading Section:-


  • Reading section is a passage reading segment, wherein you will be given 60-80 mins time to complete the 3-4 Passages. 
  • Generally you will have 3 passages which will sum up to 60 mins. Which means 20 mins for each passage. In case you have given the time of 80 mins then you have received a additional Passage which is an experimental, but twist to the story is that you don't know exactly which passage is the experimental.

Some Important Tips for TOEFL Reading Section:-

  • You might have heard this from many people read many articles, read this newspaper, or read magazines. But what i feel is that, there is no direction in these methods for improving your English reading capability or to phrase it like 'The above methods aren't efficacious enough'.
  • What is efficacious for improving TOEFL reading? Again this is my personal opinion, you can always choose the strategy which works for you the best. You can start reading comprehensions from the Manhattan 5LB book and try answering the questions. As it will be a GRE based comprehension section in Manhattan, as you practice along, your ability to read and answer question will be fortified.
  • When we juxtapose the level of comprehensions of GRE and TOEFL, TOEFL is much more easier. So if you daily read 5 passages from Manhattan book and try to answer the questions, your ability to read and answer the questions will ameliorate.
  • Not to mention, you will also identify new words which will add up to your vocabulary list.
  • Remember, for both GRE and TOEFL you will need at least 2000 words. Don't be intimidated by such a number, but trust me the more vocabulary you will have in your arsenal, the more effective you will be during exam. Slowly but steadily built your vocabulary, a small improvement daily will give you results you never expected of.
  • This a very quotidian statement but trust me it always works, the more you'll practice, the more you'll get comfortable with it.
  • Finally, you may also wants to make notes of the new words, it will come handy when you are revising. Also dictionary by Merriam Webster will come handy for finding out exact meaning of the words, examples, pronunciation, synonyms. Click here to download the Merriam Webster application.

We all were waiting for this amazing movie named Avengers Infinity war which has been meticulously planned and plotted since a decade. A total of nineteen movies were directed, carefully introducing the characters and explaining their story line and also their importance in the marvel cinematic universe (MCU).

So after a decade long journey which MCU has made to showcase the final battle of all the superheroes with one of the bad ass villain of all time Thanos and there's no doubt that the cast has given their 100% to always entertain the fans all around the world. Avenger Infinity war is a 2hrs 29 mins movie and as you guys must be aware of that this movie is the l
