<p>i have 2 questions about the toefl ibt. well i gave it today and in the listening part instead of 3 and 3 listening parts it gave me 9(3+3+3)is this normal or does it mean that i did not so good on the first parts so they gave me another chance or that i was very good that it kept going till the end???
and second,is it bad if on the first writing i wrote 300 words(it said that it should be 150-225)
thank u very much</p>
<p>No. Usually they give extra sections in the listening and speech sections which are experimental for future tests. They are not scored.
And the word limit does not matter much. I used 350 words and I scored full in writing section. So I don't think it'l be a problem.</p>
