for Pharm.D. program application, so it doesn't matter.
Good luck! |

发帖数: 709 | 4 I took it in Trenton/NJ near quakerbridge mall. The test center was owned
by Chinese. It was very disturbing that they don't allow the test takers to
leave the cell phones on (in vibration mode) but the lady who was working
there even answered her phone and we could hear her talking in the room! In
addition, it is a very distracting when someone beside you is doing the
speaking while you are doing the listening. If I will need to take it again
, sure I will choose some other places. |

，那个房子不知道有多老了，楼梯时木板的，很吵。后面一个乌克兰的女孩，嗓门那叫
一个大。我当时报名的时候也没有选这一个考场，不知道怎么给弄到这里的。感觉口语

So
Hi, guys. I took the ibt on Feb 23rd. Thank god! I passed! Reading 29
Listening 28 Speaking 26 Writing 28.
I took the baron prep materials but did not finish the book. I think the
speaking is the session we need to focus on. For the first two session, I
downloaded the past questions and prepared them by writing them down. I
believed the latter 4 sessions are relatively easy since you have to read a
paragraph or listen to a paragraph.
Best luck to all you guys here and I would love to answer

But I don't quite understand what you said:

Doesn't the iBT have four sessions altogether?
Thanks a lot~

发帖数: 24 | 12 Thanks:) I was referring to the mini sessions in the speaking part which
contains 6 sessions (tasks).
I highly recommend www.taisha.org where you can download past questions and
experiences etc.
Good luck!

每个项目都要过一定分数吗？
我的学校只说总分过就行了

发帖数: 3328 | 19 几年前考的了,是28分过的,看到大家这么煎熬,把我以前写的经验转过来,希望能给大家
一些启发:
其实口语复习说简单也简单,关键是从考试前一个月就开始猛练185那个作文的DD. 说到
后来随便给你个阿猫阿狗的东西,你都能张口就来.
考试的时候速度很重要, 一定要快点说, 注意语法.说说容易,但是做起来没有那么容易
,需要长久的练习.
还有就是总结出一套自己的模板,我是从LONGMAN, KAPLAN给出的EXAMPLE中自己总结的.
我觉得每个人都需要COME UP WITH自己的一套东西, 所以尽量不要问别人, 自己总结才
掌握的扎实.
阅读方面我没有怎么练习, 因为自己平时也看不少PAPER,写PAPER,所以觉得问题不大,
结果上考场第一个就做的头大, 还以为只有10多分呢,结果最后只扣了一分,估计ETS把
第一个当TEST啦.
听力就是听的以前的,还有LONGMAN,K的.
写作其实最简单啦,都是那么一个套路, 185自己把提纲写一下,也方便练习口语 |

发帖数: 80 | 20 谢谢分享！
我其实还是轻视了这个考试，再加上带孩子，很少有空看书。家里有老人连电视都是中
文的，虽说我不看。作文一看就傻眼啊，只能胡驺，写得自己都觉得一点力度都没有。
还好混过去了。Speaking要说也是自己总结归纳的能力差，不能用简单的几句话说明问
题。
嗯，要找到材料，好好练习。
的.
