These information include: account name, bank account number, bank name and address, and the amount of RMB to be remitted. Please accurately record or print the above information displayed on the screen. Bring the above information to the bank business hall for telegraphic transfer (any bank can handle it).

! Important note:
T/T is not a special service provided by the bank for TOEFL online test, but an ordinary remittance service provided by the bank. So, when you go to the bank business hall, you must ask for wire transfer service. If you only say that you have to pay the TOEFL online test fee, the bank staff will not know your requirements. At the same time, it is suggested that non-China candidates who can't speak Chinese wire transfer to the counter of China Bank, which usually provides English service.
The second type of documents accepted are legal and valid identity certificates issued by government departments, including China passport, official identity card, military officer's card, driver's license, student ID card and official identity certificate with photos and official seals issued by the student status management department or public security organs.
Note: Student ID card can be considered. But you must have a formal certificate, a seal and a photo. The validity period of the identity certificate is only 40 days, and the formalities seem cumbersome. Try to do it well in advance.
Step 3: register for the exam.
When the account balance displayed on "My Homepage" is enough to pay for the TOEFL online test service, click "Register Test" to register for the TOEFL online test.
! Please note:
7 days before the test day (excluding the test day) is the regular registration day; From 7 days before the exam to 3 days before the exam (excluding the exam day), if you fail to register within the time limit, you will pay the overdue registration surcharge and stop registering 3 days before the exam.

The late registration time is from 0: 00 on August 1 day to 0: 00 on August 5, and the late registration surcharge must be paid at this stage. Registration will stop at 0: 00 on August 5.
The next page allows you to search for the location and date of the exam. Please select at least one month and one region, and then click Continue. The system will list all qualified examination rooms according to the specified month and place. Select an examination room and click the "Register" button.

Step 4: Fill in the background investigation.
The last step of registration is to answer questions about your personal background information, which are divided into voluntary items and optional items.

You have to choose to agree, which is one of the things you have to agree to when you register for the exam. At this point, you have completed all the steps required for TOEFL online test registration, and an email confirming the success of registration will be sent to your mailbox. On My Home Page, click View Registration Information to view your registration status.
The new TOEFL test consists of four parts, namely reading, listening, speaking and writing.
I. Reading: There are three articles.
Different from the old TOEFL, candidates do not need to read the full text before answering the questions, but read the articles in sections during the process of doing the questions. Each article has 1 1 questions, all of which are multiple-choice questions. Except for the last question, all the other questions are aimed at a certain part of the article, and the order of the questions is consistent with the order of the paragraphs in the article. The last question is a question about the whole article, asking candidates to choose several options to summarize or summarize the whole article. The length of the new generation of TOEFL reading articles is slightly longer than that of the old version, and the difficulty is also increased. The duration of this section is 1 hour, during which candidates can review and modify the submitted answers.
2. Listening: The short dialogue is cancelled.
It consists of two long campus situational dialogues and four classroom speeches, each lasting about 5 minutes. Because it is a computer test, candidates can't know the test questions before listening to the recorded materials. When playing the recorded data, the corresponding background picture will be displayed on the computer screen. Candidates can take notes while listening. Candidates cannot review and modify the submitted answers. This part lasts about 50 minutes.
Listening ability is undoubtedly the key to the success of the new TOEFL. Except reading, no matter which part is inseparable from "listening". Listening is a weak link for candidates in China. At present, one of the effective ways for China candidates to improve their listening comprehension is "listening writing", that is, listening attentively to relevant listening materials and writing down what they have heard sentence by sentence. There are also software specially used to practice the new TOEFL dictation, such as the new TOEFL dictation king software. One disadvantage of "listening writing" in improving listening comprehension is that it may be time-consuming at first.
3. Oral English: Incorporate TSE (Oral English Test) into the new TOEFL test.
But compared with the current TSE, it has changed a lot. There are 6 questions in this section * * *, and the duration is about 20 minutes.
The first and second questions require candidates to explain their views on a topic.
Questions 3 and 4 require candidates to read a short passage within 45 seconds, then hide the short passage and play a dialogue or class speech related to the short passage. Finally, candidates are asked to answer relevant questions according to the short passages they read before and the dialogues or classroom speeches they play. Candidates have 30 seconds to prepare and then 60 seconds to answer. For example, the article describes two plans to expand the school gymnasium. In the dialogue, a classmate explained his position, that is, which scheme is in favor of and which scheme is against, and listed several reasons. Ask the examinee to describe his/her position in the dialogue and explain what reasons he/she cited to support this view.
Questions 5 and 6 require candidates to listen to a campus situational dialogue or classroom speech, and then answer related questions. Candidates have 20 seconds to prepare and then 60 seconds to answer questions. For example, first broadcast a lecture on marketing, the professor lists two methods of market research, and then ask candidates to describe the two methods of market research listed by the professor with the viewpoints and examples in the lecture.
Candidates can take notes during listening to help answer questions. When preparing and answering questions, a countdown clock will be displayed on the screen.
4. Writing requires candidates to complete two compositions within 1 hour.
One of them is similar to the old TOEFL, which requires candidates to explain their views on a topic within 30 minutes, and requires more than 300 words.
The other requires candidates to read an article first. After five minutes, the article disappears and the lecture related to the article is played. The lecture notes list some arguments to refute the arguments and arguments in the article. Then ask the candidates to write a composition within 20 minutes, summarize the arguments and arguments of the class speech, and state how these arguments and arguments refute the arguments and arguments of the article. The required number of words is between 150 and 225 words. When writing, the article will reappear on the screen. This composition does not require candidates to elaborate their views.
Because the new TOEFL test is conducted on the computer interface, it is impossible to draw key points and take notes on the test questions, so candidates must develop the habit of taking notes and the ability to take notes quickly. The recording of the listening test is only a few minutes, and in this process, candidates can't see the questions, and candidates may understand them, but there are many important details in the questions that must be recorded, so that they can be sure when answering questions. Therefore, in listening, we should "play hard" to take notes and learn to remember the main points with simple symbols. Four of the six listening readings are lecture notes, all of which are five or six minutes long. What you thought you could remember, in the end you actually forgot. So whether it's useful or not, listen and remember. The last four questions in the oral part also depend on taking notes, because these questions all ask what you heard and then relay it, so that if you take notes well, candidates can look at the notes and answer them, and nine times out of ten they will be right. Notes can also be used in written form. Write down the main points you hear and find out the corresponding points, so that writing is not a problem.
Tip 4: Candidates can quickly form their own set of notes by practicing for a week 10 days, and there are many shortcuts to take. For example, the upward arrow indicates rapid development, the downward arrow indicates declining performance, and there are many abbreviations. Candidates can invent some symbols according to their own habits.
5 practice anti-interference answering questions in advance
Candidates should practice answering oral questions in a disturbing environment during this period. Because the candidates in the same examination room answer questions at different speeds, sometimes when many people are still watching, some people begin to listen. Such interference is inevitable. Start practicing answering questions in a noisy environment now, and be sure to make the answer clear. Record the first two questions for 45 seconds, and the second question for 60 seconds. Therefore, candidates should also practice the ability to express their views and attitudes on a question in one minute and exercise the organizational ability of language logic in a short time.
Tip 5: Candidates must look at the answers. There are some points in the middle of the beginning and the end, so that the examiner will think that you are very good, and you are very logical and complete in a short time, and your score is definitely not low.
6 Calculate the final "deadline" in advance
Because the new TOEFL is a computer test, candidates lack great autonomy in the allocation of test time. Therefore, it is very important to plan the examination time and learn to do the questions under the pressure of time limit. For example, a reading must be completed within 20 minutes, an oral topic must not be overtime within 45 seconds, and writing is the same, and it must be completed within 30 minutes. Do several sets of computer simulation questions, and if you do them completely according to time, candidates can adapt.
Trick 6: For example, if the oral test record is just 45 seconds, the examiner can't hear anything if it is missed. Therefore, when practicing simulation questions, you should set yourself a final "deadline", how many seconds before the oral exam and how many minutes before writing.
Edit the appraisal form in this paragraph.
The new TOEFL test adopts real scenes, such as simulating the dynamic interactive environment on the university campus. The test questions comprehensively examine four English language abilities: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Candidates can fully demonstrate their English communication skills.
The new TOEFL test is conducted through the internet, and the test takes the form of computer test. The test time and the number of questions in each part of the new TOEFL are fixed. However, the exam did not use the method of computer-generated questions, that is to say, the difficulty of the questions has nothing to do with whether the answers to the previous questions are accurate or not.
The full score of the new TOEFL is 30, * * * 120. The new TOEFL 80 is equivalent to the old TOEFL 550 and the new TOEFL 100 is equivalent to the old TOEFL 600.
Registration process
In Chinese mainland, candidates must apply for the TOEFL online test through the registration website of the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education.
First, two useful links
Download many useful reference materials in the library, all of which are free. The key is very good information!
4。 Of course, the more words, the better. I can introduce some word books to you: Zhang Hongyan's Word Classification is classified by subjects, which is used for exam surprise. And Li Xiaolai's vocabulary book, which is better? Of course, there is an MP3 word book in Crossing the River by Pony, which you can remember while listening. You can also recite words online.
5。 Finally, you need to buy these books to review and compare the core books:
1, blue triangle, the full name is the key to Delta's next-generation TOEFL test: IBT advanced skill practice.
Sprint 2-3 months before the exam or as intensive training. At present, the book has been introduced by New Oriental, and its Chinese name is "New TOEFL preparation strategies and simulated test questions".
The book has done special exercises for each part, as well as a large number of comprehensive exercises, as well as the guidance of the questioner and the time arrangement of using the book.
About the difficulty of this book:
Reading: It is very close to the real question, but the logic of the question is slightly simpler than the real question, and the topic options are more rigorous. Listening: the speed of oral English is about 5%~ 10% faster than that of real questions, but the logic of topic options is more direct and relatively simple than that of real questions, and many questions can be done correctly after listening. Therefore, listening is mainly to train the ability of the examination room to capture information, supplemented by doing questions.
Oral English: The first question and the second question are more in line with the real question. The logic behind the question is not as clear as the real question, and the structure is often chaotic and difficult. You can do exercises to improve your speaking speed, capture listening information and make a summary. The comprehensive oral listening speed is about 20% faster than the real question.
Writing: The viewpoint of comprehensive writing is not as clear as the real question. The more unclear it is, the more difficult it is, which is conducive to practice.
2. Red Triangle, the key of Delta's next-generation TOEFL test -IBT's six mock exams.
The introductory version of New Oriental is called "New TOEFL Test Sprint Test", which contains six sets of completely new model test questions that are closer to the actual test, among which the small composition part is the closest to the actual test among all the preparation materials at present.
This book provides six sets of simulated test questions, which are very good. But before doing these six simulation questions, I recommend you to do a set of official ETS simulation questions, feel it, then find out your weaknesses and strengths, and then compare it with Damei simulation questions. This is very important, because ETS is the final problem-solving organization, and the topic of Delta is more of a positive reference.
3. Barang
Barron's IBT teaching materials are rich in listening content and various accents. The overall topic may be a little more difficult than the exam.
About its model test CD:
The interface is closest to the real exam, with a full set of 7 sets. There are extra exams, but it is more troublesome to read the answers. Reading: After reading the article, you need to press the Continue option. Just like a real exam, the last comprehensive summary question can't be delayed when you encounter a question that chooses three summary sentences. You need to click in the blank and fill in the answer, which many people can't do. In addition, when you look back at the problem, the space you did before will be vacant, and you need to choose again. The length of the article is slightly longer than the real question, and the question type is more difficult, especially the extended meaning or contextual meaning in the vocabulary test, which can be considered as difficult to be true as a whole.
Listening: It's very challenging, especially the academic jokes, which are 30% longer than the real questions (the real questions occasionally appear as long as Barron's listening, but rarely), and the speech speed is close to the real test. The first and second sets also have British accents, so practicing Barron's listening is very helpful for the real test. In terms of options, the attitude question is more vague than the real question. Although the real question sometimes has such an attitude, it is difficult to judge, but it will not be like Barron's every article. In addition, professors like students to participate in the classroom, which is much worse than the real question. Chart questions are often particularly direct, so the difficulty is low. Generally speaking, the difficulty is relatively high.
Oral English: All the model test softwares are most similar to the real questions, except the third question (about students' views on the policy). However, academic questions sometimes have the same problems as Kaplan, which cannot be recorded, but it is recommended to do well.
Writing: the comprehensive writing part is better and the structure is clearer, but it will not correspond to the real questions one by one. It's good to practice listening and writing. Generally speaking, Barron is the most suitable to simulate the real exam to adapt to the pace of the exam, because it has an extra reading or speaking exam, and the pressure is closest to the real exam. Therefore, it is recommended to use it before the exam, and you must finish it in one breath. Don't go out to play halfway (according to the real exam, you can rest for 10 minutes), so that you can experience the psychological and physical problems that may be encountered in the real exam, so as to better face the exam. But you can't record, and you can't record spoken English. The new TOEFL test is divided into four parts: listening, speaking, reading and writing, which comprehensively and independently tests students' English language abilities. In terms of content, the language content and language scenes used in the new TOEFL test come from many real scenes in North American university campuses, covering six categories: education, humanities, business, engineering technology, natural science and social sciences. The total score of the new TOEFL test is 120, with 30 points for each part.
The examination time of the new TOEFL test lasts about 4 hours. The four-part exam will be completed in one day. The test order is: reading, listening, speaking and writing. Candidates can take notes during the exam.
The reading part of the new TOEFL test includes three articles, the purpose of which is to examine the examinee's ability to understand and analyze the articles. The types of questions include chart questions, chapter summary questions and so on. Candidates can use the review function during the examination.
The listening part includes two dialogues and four speeches (including classroom dialogues).
