Blog assignment #5 Jehwan Lee

The most good grade in my life was TOEFL score. I suddenly decided that after graduate high school, I will go to America for study. Therefore I needed up to 70 TOEFL score. At high school because I didn't planed to study abroad, my English level was almost elementary students of American.
Remained term was barely 2 month. During 2 month, I had to get TOEFL score to apply American University. However when I saw text book about TOEFL first time, I felt frustrate. The English studied in high school was almost useless! More various vocabulary, more longer reading stuff, more fast listening.. When it comes to speaking and writing, I even had not practiced before. After measure my English level, I studied like insane. Fortunately, I had schedule nothing so that I could concentrate my brain learning English. And finally, I got TOEFL score 71. It is not high score but comparing my English, it was high enough. Moreover, I was so happy that I did what I made purpose.
After took the exam I tried again and again but it comes lower and lower. Honestly, I don't think did it my best. Probably that is because I release my nervous. By the way, it was good attempt for me and got most good grade in my life.

I also had to take TOEFL in Korea. I prepared TOEFL about 3 months. I had a hard time to studied TOEFL esspecially grammar part. I heard that IBT exam is more difficult than CBT and PBT. I memorize a lot of vocaburalies while I was studying. I felt exactly same as you felt. I was also so happy when I got a score. I learned English a lot through TOEFL.
