Hey everybody! I'm Sarah from Egypt and I'm having trouble with...

[Sarai]

I'm 17 years old and I registered for the internet-based TOEFL which is scheduled for the 28th of September. I came across this site via google, and I must say it's a big help, considering the fact that I randomly registered for the TOEFL because my university needed it. I bought Barron's guide about two days ago, so I have less than a month to prepare for it, wish me luck. :]

Oh and one more thing, although my grammar's alright, it's the speaking that I'm having trouble with. I get nervous (generally) when it comes to speaking, whether it be for an interview or merely to introduce myself to other people. I take a lot of time to come up with things to say, and when I start talking, I end up stammering instead and my grammar gets really messed up. This problems lowers my grades considerably; I got an A* in my GCSE O level exam and a 3 for my orals, which is pretty bad (1 being the highest, 5 being the lowest). And the fact that the exam gives the candidate just 15 seconds to prepare his or her answer certainly doesn't help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
