unavoidable part, which sometimes can be quite painful and time
consuming. You must pass TOEFL is order to be considered for
graduate studies. To pass means to receive the score of at least 237
(550 - old units) - which is quite bad, but acceptable at some
universities. The score above 250 (600) will suffice for all
universities if you are applying for technical specialty (and
usually will suffice for all other specialties too). The maximum
possible score is 300 (667). For more details on the test and
scoring system visit official TOEFL website and particularly FAQ
section.
To evaluate your current level you can take free test on-line (you
need to register before you can do that), free paper test at the
Moscow Library of Foreign Literature, or find a book. You can also
view sample questions on-line (paper test: Section1, Section2,
Section3 or CBT). Usually one can expect to improve his score by
50-100 "old units" after 3-5 month of everyday work of 2-4 hours a
day. The higher your initial score is the longer it will take to
improve it by the same number of points. It is highly advisable to
start preparing for TOEFL as long beforehand as possible, if you can
start preparing half a year before the test it is good if a year
before - even better. Remember that you are striving for at least
250 (600) (as long as it is above that number it is not so much
important what your exact score is).
