LISTENING TUTORIAL: NOTE TAKING

On the TOEFL iBT, note taking is not only allowed but encouraged You will be given paper to use for taking notes After the test, you will have to give your notes

to the testing supervisor, but your notes will not be graded

It certainly makes sense to allow note taking during the test, because the ability

to take good lecture notes is an important academic skill It’s not common to take notes on conversations, except sometimes at meetings, but you will have to take notes on both conversations and lectures during this test

Without notes, the Listening Section of the test is basically a test of memory, and few people have the memory skills to remember all the facts and ideas

contained in a lecture lasting five to eight minutes Research has shown that after

twenty minutes has passed, people remember only about 50% of what they hear, and that about 20% of what they hear is remembered incorrectly

Note taking is a complicated skill, especially note taking in another language

However, note-taking skills can definitely be improved by practice The more you take notes, the faster and more accurate you will become During all of the exercises in the Listening Section, you should take notes and use those notes to answer the questions

TOEFL Norte TAKING vs UNIVERSITY NOTE TAKING

The lectures you hear in the Listening Section simulate (imitate) classroom lectures, but they are not the same There are two important differences:

1 TOEFL iBT lectures are much denser than authentic lectures From an hour- long classroom lecture, there may be one or two points that will be asked about

on tests On the other hand, there are six questions after a five- to eight-minute TOEFL iBT lecture Therefore, TOEFL iBT lectures have more facts and information that can be asked about As a result, your note taking must be more

detailed and intensive for the TOEFL iBT than the notes you would take in a lecture class
