I'm afraid it is not simple like that. when I said "improve" , I meant a big move like to 100+ points score or even more.

Still so sad

I don't mean to discourage you but let's be realistic here. What is your desirable score? Is there a deadline for it? Does it serve any purpose? If you're not in hurry, striving for the best may be right. Otherwise, just achieve your goal and proceed to the next step. English is larger than just a score.

I want to reach to the score of 100. I was rather good at doing TF test in class and I had an expectation of minimum score of 90. Unfortunately, the real test had a bigger challenge.

I know the score is just one small thing about English so I want to improve my English abilities to make them better, not only for score but also for future use.

But first , I want to have some improvement in my score. maybe after a month or two I will retake the test. Do you think I can do some changes in that period of time ?

Past a certain point, the result doesn't depend solely on your English command but your exam technique. That was my remark after talking IELTS. But of course top score requires a perfect combination of knowledge and skills.

Apart from that, I can't say anything else since I've never touched TOEFL materials.

85 toefl ibt pts stands in the gap between 6.5 to 7 in ielts. i think i know my weaknesses but i have no idea to fix them. I was not a student in foreign language learning major so everything seems to be so hard for me to try. at this moment, I'm blind. everything is just like a chaos in my head. just want to scream out loud.

Just relax, it's not something to be mad at, unless you have a deadline to achieve the high score.

frankly, my application needs at least 90 pts, so i think I have missed it. Now should be the time to prepare for the next one.

Just a bad day

Take a break now. When you're calm, find someone to discuss your problems with. If you've got money to spare, enrol to a cram course.

You're right, thanks you guys for giving me advice. The journey's just begun and I need to keep my head high.

Goodnight guys, it's quite late now
