<p>oh man i just hate standardized tests.</p>
<p>my parents randomly signed me up, and TOEFL was just boring that I almost cried. Oh well not complaining with a score of 280.</p>
<p>I got TOEFL Computer 300/300 !!!</p>
<p>No way man! There wasn't a person on earth who got 300 out of 300</p>
<p>I wouldnt be lying, would I?>????</p>
<p>rushil, r u from Korea? I know lots of ppl there who study hardcore for those exams. It's rather pointless because once you achieve a score of 250 or above, colleges will just consider it all the same. Well, but a perfect score is something that's worth mentioning about...(are you on a newsppaer or something?). </p>
<p>nevertheless, i hate ETS. Their score reports are freaken 17 bucks per school. This is such a ****** price!!</p>
<p>jhpark,</p>
<p>Rushil's profile says India...Isn't that, I dunno, self-explanatory? :p</p>
<p>Actually, UCLAri, my profile says Romania, but I'm an Asian. It's hard to decide to put "Location" as literal location or "Country originally from".</p>
<p>Aren't you yourself an American expat in Japan?</p>
<p>I was being facetious.</p>
<p>But I forget that this board isn't the right place to be humorous.</p>
<p>Sarcasm or something besides a blatant sense of humorous is often hard to decipher online. I've had fights with friends because of misunderstandings.</p>
<p>oh com'on guz, it doesn't matter where is he from? It just the matter of fact, he got the 300! He wouldn't lie. As for me, I took almost a year ago, when I was back in states. I thought I was reall well at it, but literally i pooped in my pants when I got the score report. It said 217. I was like What da heck?.
SO Congratulations bud!</p>
<p>300 isn't possible?? are you guys kidding me.. I think the majority of international students in my school had 300 on toefl. 290 at least.</p>
<p>May be, may be you had better teachers. But gotta tell something, i didn't study at all, didn't have any books. 290-300 score owners had been working their butt off, probably</p>
<p>No...not all of them.</p>
<p>Just got my score - 280. HAH, I finished without any prep and in 1/3 of the time given. That may have been a stupid move, but it just proves how easy the TOEFL is. </p>
<p>I wish they'd release a more rigorous test and start recording the time when someone is finished. Would significantly help the benchmarking.</p>
<p>I'm amazed how good you scores are. I mean, you must be living in a english speaking country more than four years at least.</p>
<p>No, I;ve never lived outside India except when my dad was at Cambridge(U.K) and I was 2 years old!!!</p>
<p>um, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't english an official language in india and the commonwealth...
but still, that probably has little to do with your perfect score, I guess many exclusively native speakers can **** up the toefl, it's subjective (just like any standartized test) and unbelievably tedious. I got 297 and I only bothered to check out the cd they sent me. scoring high is a matter of alertness and having a common sense for grammar rules.</p>
<p>I scored a 673 on the paper-based test with a 6.0 essay... and I've never lived in an english-speaking country or anything, but I've studied in bilingual schools since Kindergarten. I thought the test was sooo easy and tedious...</p>
<p>essay was easy.. relatively simple//
but I was unsure on the grammar/reading sections.
although the contents were pretty easy, some answer choices seemed all correct.</p>
<p>but I think 277 is a decent score,,, right?</p>
<p>i mean colleges don't care about the exact score if you get over a certain score.</p>
<p>Yeah, 277 is a good score. The minimum that schools ask for are sometimes 250-260. That's sometimes for engineering schools, sometimes for all students of a high-end school. Other schools state they don't have minimums.</p>
