I took it in high school. I was studying for the SAT at the same time. All I did for the TOEFL were practice questions in the Official Guide and the results were not bad. The reading and writing sections were much easier than the SAT, the listening and the speaking sections were just simulations of college-level class discussions. If you are working on your GRE, there is really no need to invest time on the TOEFL. Do some official guide practice questions to get used to the test format.

It must be nice living in a country where their politicians don’t cause drama, anxiety and stress for their citizens every damn day. Especially during this time where we have enough to deal with in our personal lives?

Hello, I am a support teacher in an elementary school. I have a classroom library with an LGBTQ+ section. I would love to do a unit on LGBTQ+ history and/or people. Has anyone here done that in an elementary school setting? I admit, I'm afraid I would get in trouble which is so frustrating to say the least.

What programs are considered the most fun? My undergrad was a commuter school and felt I really missed out, so it’s number 2-3 on my important list. Schools I’m looking at in order of preference: Michigan, Duke, NYU, Cornell, UNC, CMU. I might take out CMU and put UVA in there but the case study rigor makes me hesitant.
