How to improve TOEFL score by myself?

I'm interested in improving TOEFL score to study abroad. 

However, it's not easy to study regularly after work. 

 

I'd like to introduce small tactics for TOEFL studying so that you can apply everyday even after work. 

 

1. Practice to anticipate: Anticipating what a speaker will say next is an important skill for the TOEFL listening section. Practice listening for clues such as transitional phrases or key words that can help you anticipate what comes next.

 

2. Focus on note-taking: Note-taking is an important skill for the listening section of the TOEFL. Practice taking notes while listening to English-language media, and develop your own shorthand to help you write quickly and accurately.

 

3. Do regularly during short time : It's important to expose to foreign lanugage regularly not only for your English skill but also for maintaining your motivation. Only 15 mins. is needed for a lecture so please take short time several times. It will make you understand each topic deeply and also get used to new vocabulary. 

 

4. Learn new knowledge : TOEFL provides academic knowledge that are helpful for students. If you have experience of TOEFL, you can notice that topics are limited such as biology, geology, art, etc. Please remember that TOEFL is planned for students to study in College abroad. The more you accumulate academic knowledge and vocabulary, the more you can achieve educational backgrounds as well as higher TOEFL test score.
