Is a TOEFL iBT score of 106 considered okay? :-\

erm , im currently doing a-lvl right now in taylor's college , afer getting my cert , how do i apply to go the uni in us that i want to go to? Sorry to intterupt this thread , im a complete newbie

Yeah, the max score is 120. So..it's considered good?     Wasn't sure of the standard. And no, my English is not darn good. It's far from that

Hmm I got 105 when I took it when I was 13, and I think it's low. >.<
I'm aiming for more than 110, when I have to apply for uni.
Pretty good scores in listening, writing and speaking but low in reading because I just don't have the patience to read through the whole passage.

Ah, I see

Btw, does anyone have information regarding homestay programs in the States?

Hmm yeah I believe it's something like that. Basically you get to stay with a family. 'cause there's a friend of my mum, her children managed to get into a homestay program with a family at Washington (IIRC) and they are treated absolutely nice. Cars to drive, debit cards to use, huge rooms. Not to mention the accomodation and food are free for them Now kinda pressured by my mother to get into one too

Fall of 09 means autumn season. In US, schools typically start in august, and some college start in sept. Basically its like Jan in Malaysia where everyone kicks start the new grade. If you are coming this year, you will start in the fall of 09.
You dont have to worry about the amount of new students unless you are going to harvard etc. 99% of the college are competing against each other, and on top of that US has way too many college.

Grading is 90+ A, 80+ B, 70+ C, 60+ D, below 60 = failed
in GPA.......4..........3.........2..........1.......retake the course lol

education here is much more easy compare to malaysia. you gonna get tested on the stuff you learned in a month or 2 months period. You know excactly what will be on the test, no suprise at all. Usually, no comprehensive test even it comes to final, got exception tho. Final is usually the stuff that you learned during the month before final.
