I am happy you did well!

You guys made me curious, gonna go through a TOEFL test to check if I'm up to snuff.
Also, be glad that you are in the U.S. You should see the accent of people living in the UK lol. Not to mention south africa.

UK accent differs so much throughout everywhere in the UK, that people inside it have troubles understanding each other. From my experience, people from Northest UK is the most difficult to me to understand.
My TOEFL test was a total mess by the way, it doesn't support chrome I found out about it in the speaking part lol.
ANYWAY, congrats on your test.
The poll choices are so emo :p
Anyways, glad to hear you did well :)
I'm late but I'd was gonna say that you seem to be pretty good at English, and that I wouldn't worry if I were you. Also, next time you need to take an exam like this, it wouldn't hurt to get help online, get some useful tips/info about the exam, its material ...etc.
I took the exam a couple years back, it turned out to be useful when applying for my master's degree in Jordan. I'm a native English speaker though.

I did find a lot of tips and tricks though, they were incredibly useful, especially in speaking where I was really nervous.

That's cool, you're more resourceful than I am :B Good for you :)
There are a couple of exams I also need to take (uni related), I had no clue about them or the internet help stuff till my friend happened to mention them while we were chatting. What would I have done if it weren't for him mentioning it by chance? I'm totally clueless -_-U
One other tip: Do your research, plan ahead, and give yourself plenty of time to prepare. That same freind of mine told me to start preparing like a year ahead for my exams. Good luck in whatever your plans are! :)
