I used to lose points on TOEFL reading because I was reading every line like it was a novel. Once I changed my approach, my score went up fast. If you are looking for TOEFL reading tips for high score, these are the ones that made the biggest difference for me:
- Read the question first so you know what detail or idea to hunt for.
- Skim for structure: intro, examples, contrast words, conclusion.
- Do vocab in context, not from memory alone.
- For inference questions, eliminate answers that are too extreme.
- Track your mistakes in a tiny log: detail, vocab, inference, purpose.
- Practice with a timer because pacing matters almost as much as accuracy.
My best habit was spending 10 minutes after each set reviewing why I got something wrong. That helped way more than just doing more passages. If anyone wants, I can also share the short routine I used each week.
