Most students taking the TOEFLŪ exam like to know what areas of the exam they need to study to ensure that they get the best score possible. We recommend you order two practice TOEFLŪ exams with your workbooks. Take the first practice exam to find out what areas you need to focus on. Then, after you have polished your skills with the workbooks, test yourself again with the second practice TOEFLŪ test.
