Time Management in the TOEFL Essay

QESTION:

I have difficulty writing the TOEFL essay in less than 30 minutes. I have allocated my time as follows:

10 minutes:  outline, thesis statement, introduction

05 minutes:  paragraph 1

05 minutes:  paragraph 2

05 minutes:  conclusion

05 minutes:  review

Is this a good use of my time for the TOEFL independent writing?

 

ANSWER:

Your allocation of time looks good. Most TOEFL  books I’ve seen simply recommend 3 to 5 minutes for the outline, 3 to 5 minutes for the review, and the remaining time for the actual writing of the essay.
