Core Strategies Practice
📝 Note-taking: Write abbreviated notes for this sentence: "In the 19th century, rapid industrialization led to significant urban growth." Use symbols (& for "and", → for "leads to").
🔀 Skipping questions: You have these TOEFL reading questions remaining:
1) Vocabulary question (usually quicker)
2) Inference question (usually more difficult and time-consuming)
3) Factual detail question (medium difficulty)
Decide which question you will skip first to save time. Clearly explain your reason based on difficulty and time.
Time management: You have 3 minutes left to answer two remaining questions:
- One vocabulary question (usually faster)
- One inference question (typically longer to answer)
Decide clearly which one you will answer first, and briefly explain your strategic choice.
