AS SALAAM O ALAILKUM ,

In this thread i will discuss about what is going to happen when you reach the test center.

i am going to discuss about Test Center

Name: KARACHI, PAKISTAN #8781
Test Center Address
PROMETRIC TESTING CENTER KARACHI,
H#F-47/1 Park Lane, Block#5, K.D.A Scheme#5
Kehkhashan, Clifton
KARACHI

it is near the 2 talwar chorangi .

make sure two things . you have your NIC +Passport or driving license with you with the exact name as you have used while registration of the Toefl. Reach on the center before half hour of your test time .

First they will ask you to sign on a paper , where your full name which is of course the name when you register the TOEFL printed on the paper . you have to sign it than they have security panel you have to cross it. They will take you to the locker where you have to put all the things you have with you including wallet and all the stuffs you have with you in the pocket . they will give you the key of the locker you can carry it with you. Then you will ask to go to the waiting room where administrator will be waiting for you . HE/SHE in my case she will give you a form which you have to fill it.
It will ask " Name " , Province , City and you will have rules and all other stuffs and you have to copy the statement which will be printed on the paper already . you have to copy the statement exactly as given on the paper from
" I agree till ..... the end "
at the end you have to write your name in capital and tick the program you are going to perform in my case i was going for Toefl .
Then they will take you to the admin room, they will make sure its really you so they will ask you the questions like

what is your name ?
what is your date of birth ?
what is your father name ?

then they will ask you to sign on the paper as the procedure .
then they will take your snap via webcam they have . They will give you Cabine Number or computer number.

I would like to mention an incident here which is very important for all of us . There was a guy who came for the toefl test and his name was Muhammad Rauf Chaudry . But he by mistake didn't put CH (chaudry) name in the toefl registration form . so admin came and ask him that in your NIC there is CH written with your name . He replied that it is my family name . she said but in the registration form of the toefl you haven't put any CH with your name . then she ask him to register for the toefl test again and he has to pay again for the toefl . she didn't allow him to sit on the test, he tried so hard to sit on the test but she didn't allow him and ask him to register again for the test and has to pay the test fee again which is $160 around . so it is very important to use the exact same name written on the PASSPORT , NIC and Toefl Registration form .

coming back to the toefl test .
first section as we know reading section
3 to 5 passages

2nd section is the speaking section usually you have 3-5 speaking but i don't know why i had 9 speaking in speaking section

9 speaking was divided in 3 parts

each part contain 3 speaking so its not a rule that you will have only 5 speaking there could be more or less reading or speakings you never know .

after this you have to take break there will be no choice. you have come out from the cabin to the admin room. when ever you leave the room you have to sign the form for the signout so they will ask you to signout the form.
when you come out for break drink water as next section will be your speaking section .
In speaking section you will have 6 Questions .

i use this speaking method and got 20+ marks on toefl

Prepare for speaking section TOEFL IBT

and then of course writing section.
Writing section will have 2 Questions .
i used this method and score 20+ the link is below

Prepare for Writing Section TOEFL IBT

so that's all from me toefl test will be around 4 or so .
because my official time was 10 am but my test started on 10:30 .

hope this thread will help the new students.

if you have any problem let me know thanks

Best Regards,
AYAZ
