TOEFL Scratch paper and Speed writing tricks

In my previous post "Scratch Paper for TOEFL Listening" I have discussed the importance of using the Scratch paper wisely. I have also discussed earlier what range of Score you should target to get maximum result.

Now How to do the speed writing during listening. Hope you already know that - 

{You will listen to a conversation only ONCE}

So be careful!

Now the main topic. Follow these steps and practice accordingly.

1. You will get your scratch paper before your exam starts. So make a table in one of the pages like below

2. Look at the First and Second line. In the First line there is a word "Between". and In the Second line there is word "On". Why?

Here it is why.Read carefully!

At the very beginning of the listening, just before the actual conversation starts, a NARRATOR will inform you the scenario of the Conversation, like - 

"Listen to part of conversation between a Teacher and a Student"

Or

"Listen to part of conversation between two students"

Immediately fill out the blanks of the first line. The Narrator will also tell you what the conversation is about . For example - 

"Listen to part of conversation between a Teacher and a Student about an assignment dew next week".

So the Topic is "Assignment due".

Now the big part! How am I gonna write the entire listening part on my scratch paper. For this I have prepared an exercise on my next blog TOEFL Listening - Speed writing exercise!
