DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS

Listening Diagnostic Overview

Test takers with similar scores typically

Need to spend 2-3 months studying in order to score higher than 24 on the TOEFL listening section.
Know a wide range of academic vocabulary, but have limited vocabulary knowledge in certain academic topics. For
example, you might not be familiar with topics about biology, though you can understand the vocabulary used, it
still is a little confusing.
Can capture most of the main points and the relationships between ideas such as comparison, contrast, cause &
effect, time sequence, etc..., but have difficulty distinguishing between important details and minor details in the
lectures and conversations. As a result, you may struggle with taking useful notes while you're listening.
May be unfamiliar with some question types that appear on the TOEFL listening section.

What's Included
Below you'll find an analysis on your listening comprehension and your performance for each listening question type .
The analysis includes where you struggled and information on how to improve. Below the report you'll find two

Listening Comprehension

About
Listening comprehension is your ability to understand both conversations and lectures in an academic setting.
Typically, a lecture will be factual and the teacher, most of the time, will make his intentions extremely clear
through examples and fully explaining a topic. However, in a conversation, the intentions of the speaker can
sometimes be different than the words used and with good listening comprehension, you'll be able to determine
what that is.

listening section. This is because being able to recognize and understand academic words will significantly help you
