time required for TOEFL preparation

<p>what is the ideal time required for a candidate to prepare for TOEFL in order to an get exceptional score ?
I mean i haven't even started it yet and I want a good score but I don't know how long it takes so I am confused with which date to register for.
any help will be appreciated for sure.
thanks.</p>

<p>2 hrs. :slight_smile:
Really. That’s the time my friends spent to get a 115+ score. You just need to look at the format so that you’re not completely unfamiliar with it, but otherwise there’s nothing to prepare, the test is like a joke.</p>

<p>I didn’t take the TOEFL. You don’t really need to take it honestly. Almost all schools say that if you get a 700+ or something along those lines (varies from school to school) on critical reading section of SAT, toefl requirement is waived.</p>

<p>okay cool but my school says they require TOEFL or IELTS scores before they can make a decision.
they said since these tests include speaking as well,they cannot waive it off looking at the scores that don’t justify speaking skills.
so I need to take it anyway even if I get a CR score higher than what you mentioned.</p>
