What is the TOEFL iBT test, from the perspective of a learner.
I remembered the test center was like an office suite. I got in the first room to fill out some forms, including a confidentiality form stating that we were not allowed to leak any information from the test. The reason why we were asked to keep everything from the test confidential was because the test has a question database, which randomly gives out questions every test. I will talk more about how we could easily cheat in the test because of the poorly designed test question base and the time difference around the world in my next blog post.
The test lasted 230 minutes, which was almost four hours. Then I remembered there were two people supervising the test room, which were occupied by approximately 20 students who were taking the test. The room had 20-something comfortable chairs and computers as the test was computer-based.
