Edusynch TOEFL Quick Review
Edusynch TOEFL Quick Review Well, I took three of the writing simulations offered by Edusynch, and they were all terrible.None of them followed the structure used by ETS. One of them was, ostensibly, a supporting type question which is a style that hasnt appeared on the TOEFL since 2005.If you are reading this, People of Edusynch, take a look at the following graphic:That is what an integrated writing question is supposed to look like. Take a look at the left-hand side. The reading always has four paragraphs. The first paragraph states the main argument of the reading. After that, there are three body paragraphs, and each one of them presents one point in support of the main argument.Now take a look at the lecture. Of course a lecture cant have paragraphs but if you were to type out a typical TOEFL integrated question you would see that it starts with an introduction, and that one at a time it specifically challenges each of the points from the reading. The lecture actually mirrors the reading so much that it c hallenges the points in the exact same order as they are presented in the reading!The three samples I bought from Edusynch didnt do this. Two of them had only three paragraphs, none of them had point-counterpoint matching structures. Can you believe that one of them had only TWO paragraphs in the reading?Guys, you are charging $12.50 a pop for these. You can do better Youve taken the test. You know these arent accurate. Pay someone to fix them.
