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.

The analysis includes where you struggled and information on how to improve. Below the report you'll find two

A good listening comprehension means you are able to understand the major ideas and relationships of lectures and
conversations. Here is a report on your 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.

Based on your listening test results, the practice checklist recommends you complete 14 listening practices.
IMPORTANT: If you're consistently scoring 3-4 points higher than what you scored on this diagnostic test, then you've
already accomplished your goal for this report and it's time to take a new simulated listening test to get a new listening
diagnostic report. It's extremely important you continue this cycle of analyzing your weaknesses and improving them.
Practice Checklist
Please Note: Simply completing the practices on this checklist is not enough to improve your TOEFL listening
score. You must focus on the technical parts and learn from each question you complete. The below strategies will
help you focus on what's important while completing each question.
Studying academic vocabulary is important for all four sections of the TOEFL, but it's especially important for the TOEFL
listening section. This is because being able to recognize and understand academic words will significantly help you
understand the TOEFL listening lectures. We recommend you study, at least, 20 words per day from the following
vocabulary flashcard decks and complete the corresponding vocabulary exercises:
What's Next?
After completing the Lesson Checklist and the Practice Checklist from this report or if you feel you've improved
enough, it'll be time to complete a new TOEFL Simulated Test and get a new diagnostic report. You'll continue
this cycle until you reach your target TOEFL scores.
