Initially unsuccessful of meeting her goal by 10 points, Gizem was formerly required by her college to score a minimum of 90/120 on the TOEFL IBT to receive admission. Having formerly studied TOEFL back in her home country, Gizem sought another solution to pass the TOEFL IBT now that she was going to study abroad in America. And like many before her, Gizem made the decision to join Michael Buckhoff’s renowned Online TOEFL Course for only $38 a month. Having noted that she initially scored 80/120 on the TOEFL IBT, Gizem needed to improve her score by at least 10 more points. Thus, Gizem decided to review Michael’s reading, listening, and writing section.
These were her introductory comments to Michael:
“Michael Buckhoff,
I would like to tell you my background of my first attempt to pass TOEFL IBT. First time I finish the TOEFL, I got total 80 points. I don’t reach my goal yet because I required getting at least 90 points to apply for college level, if I could reach 90 or over that would be helpful.
Best regards,
Gizem”
