Which exam is easier -- PBT or CBT?

[sim]

Hi Torsten Sir,

Which test is easier? PBT or CBT. I got 200 in CBT but this time I am giving PBT becoz no availability of CBT in this city, Although I am practicing PBT but I am really nervous.I really need around 580-600 marks to get admission in my chosen university in USA. Do u think I can achieve this score?? please reply me.

Thanks
Sim

I think the CBT and the PBT require the same amount of preparation as both are equally difficult. However, there are a few differences between the CBT and PBT. For example, the CBT allows more time per question as compared to PBT, having a fewer number of questions than the PBT.

well is there any difference in PBT and CBT in the type of questions being asked?

[Torsten]

The structure of the questions is the same, it's just that one exam is paper based and the other is done on computers.

There are some differences between the type of questions...
First CBT contains some click on and insertion questions in reading section;PBT,on the other hand, doesn't.Second number of questions is different-for example PBT contains about 50 questions in reading section,while CBT contains 44.Third the time given per question is different.If you want to get some more information about the differences between CBT and PBT,you can visit TOEFL official site and were I you,I would so or seach on the internet for details.Because the information that I give here is superficial.

Thanks a lot.Do you know any site which might offer model tests for PBT? I have a book which features only the CBT and i'll be writing the PBT.
