Today the result of the TOEFL progress test was revealed. And I feel very dissapointed about it. I feel like i don't want to talk about it. but I write it anyway.
Just in case you are not informed, and I'm sure that you are not because I never talk about it in my blog, now I'm taking an intensive course of TOEFL in Languange Center of ITB. This program is funded by Indonesian Endowment Fund of Education (LPDP).
At the beggining we were given a pre-test to measuring our ability in TOEFL and to compare the score with the previous and the next one. I got the very bad score at that time but I didn't really care about it because I thought that it was just the beggining and I have a time to improve it.
One month passed and I've learned almost everything. I got the new knowledge about structure and some tricks for reading and listening. Few days before the progress test, I put more effort to prepare it. I re-read the materials, and learned from my friend from english departement. I'm bad in structure and I tried so hard to understand all of the rules.
On the day of progress test, I sat close to the tape so i can hear the conversation on the listening part clearly. But then when the test started, I could not focus on the listening, I could not answer almost half of the questions. In structure and written expression part, I forgot almost everything I've learned before, and the last section, reading, I waste too much time to find the answer on the passage. The time was up and i had not finished my answer.
And the result was revealed this morning. my score is EXACTLY THE SAME with my score on the pre-test. I don't know what to say. I just feel dissapointed now, but I'm completely okay.
You know I ever experienced it before. when I was an udergraduate student, there is some courses that I was not good at. I gave my best to learn about that, I even stayed late every night to study. but after the test, the result was not worth it. It was under my expectations.
I think my score is not good because I did too much travelling this month. Well, Bandung is something new for me since it is my very first time to come and stay in Bandung. So I think I have to explore every corner of this city. But now I think have to put more attention on the course and give much more effort to get the high score.
Next month I will have another progress test and I promise myself to post something good about it. I will work hard like a horse!
