Universal Education has designed a unique set of testing tools to make students experience effective preparedness for TOEFL iBT. We have both regular and crash batches. Regular batches stretch for 45 days. While crash courses for 30 days. As a part of the program we give printed materials and CD-Rom for preparation. We also have a set of listening practice tests which the student can undergo and test his/her level of intelligence. All these questions will be discussed and explained in the classroom. Universal Education has compiled an exhaustive number of reading selections, which are thoroughly discussed in the classes. In Writing, we make students learn the basics of an essay, the structure of TOEFL essay & provide ideas on diverse topics. In speaking section to expose the student to a real time environment we conduct mock speaking interviews using both computer and interviewer modes.
