When listening to lectures and conversations like these, test takers at the HIGH level typically can understand main ideas and important details, whether they are stated or implied; distinguish more important ideas from less important ones; understand how information is being used (for example, to provide evidence for a claim or describe a step in a complex process); recognize how pieces of information are connected (for example, in a cause-and-effect relationship); understand many different ways that speakers use language for purposes other than to give information (for example, to emphasize a point, express agreement or disagreement, or convey intentions indirectly); and synthesize information, even when it is not presented in sequence, and make correct inferences on the basis of that information.

Speaking  Skills

Speaking about familiar topics
Fair(2.5 – 3.0)

Your responses indicate you are able to speak in English about your personal experiences and opinions in a mostly clear and coherent manner. Your speech is mostly clear with only occasional errors. Grammar and vocabulary are somewhat limited and include some errors. At times, the limitations prevent you from elaborating fully on your ideas, but they do not seriously interfere with overall communication.

Speaking about campus situations
Good(3.5 – 4.0)

Your responses indicate an ability to speak effectively in English about reading material and conversations typically encountered by university students. Overall, your responses are clear and coherent, with only occasional errors of pronunciation, grammar, or vocabulary.

Speaking about academic course content
Good(3.5 – 4.0)

Your responses demonstrate an ability to communicate effectively in English about academic topics typical of first-year university studies. Your speech is mostly clear and fluent. You are able to use appropriate vocabulary and grammar to explain concepts and ideas from reading or lecture material. You are able to talk about key information and relevant details with only minor inaccuracies.

Writing  Skills

Writing based on reading and listening
Good(4.0 – 5.0)

You responded well to the task, relating the lecture to the reading. Weaknesses, if you have any, might have to do with slight imprecision in your summary of some of the main points and/or use of English that is occasionally ungrammatical or unclear.

Writing based on knowledge and experience
Fair(2.5 – 3.5)

You expressed ideas with reasons, examples, and details, but your response indicated weaknesses such as you may not provide enough specific support and development for your main points; your ideas may be difficult to follow because of how you organize your essay or because of the language you use to connect your ideas; and/or grammatical mistakes or vague/incorrect uses of words may make the writing difficult to understand.

正式解脫了!!! 109應該不會有學校刁吧按照ETS的TOEFL iBT Score Comparison Tables來轉換的話，CBT有267，PBT有630~633。反正我又不念名校 XD，應該夠啦。

美加的TOEFL-iBT全方位實戰班真的還蠻有用的，雖然只著重在聽和說，但是只要GMAT或GRE準備過，AWA和閱讀都比TOEFL難太多了，所以足夠應付托福了。江璞的課還是一樣幽默風趣…雖然我翹了2堂Orz…不是去喝喜酒就是去避暑XD，John的模板只要和TPO一起搭配練習，也夠對付Speaking了。

最後放上一個前輩的準備心得，非常適合短期內準備TOEFL的人參考。http://www.wretch.cc/blog/cclynn/26621144
