TOEFL iBT Questions in Nigeria
People at times wonder why "Brainiacs" fail the TOEFL Test. Many people have an "A" in English Language on their O Levels, yet, fail the TOEFL Test. The reason behind this is not farfetched. TOEFL is not based on British English. It's based on North American English. Also, TOEFL is not really an examination. It's a test...like an aptitude test. It tests your learned skills. You must acquire the required skills, if you want to do well on the test.
