TOEFL emotions

[Eli]

Hi !

I just found this great place and would like to join your society
My name is Eli and I am going to take TOEFL in …23 days .I am very enthusiastic to participate in the discussions and to share everything I learn during my preparation for the test (useful links, books etc) .
In the next three weeks I will be fully dedicated to my TOEFL preparation but I really don’t know if I will be able to score above 250 points ..
I always have the same problem when I am learning a foreign language –I have good listening and reading skills but my grammar is terrible. I am very talkative and outgoing and this helps me to leave a good impression about my English but the truth came out yesterday as I did some TOEFL tests. Here are my scores:

Listening – between 80-90%
Reading- between 80-90%
Grammar ) 60-68%
Writing – no idea (I can’t score my essay by myself)

I believe that with practice every day I will be able to understand the basic question types in the Listening and Reading section , but I desperately need some tips how to improve my grammar! I guess that my vocabulary isn’t good too and have to study very hard .

Do you believe that I will be able to reach 250 points in such a short period of time? I am able to study up to 8 hours a day ( yes, I know that this is not the way to learn TOEFL but I don’t have more time )

Thank you so much for reading my message! It is great to know that there are so many people studying for the same exam and experiencing similar problems ! GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY!

I am looking forward for your answer ,
Eli
