TOEFL Tips
Improve your typing skills
You will have to
fill out your answers on the computer and type your essay. If you rely
on a few fingers to type, consider improving your typing skills before
taking the TOEFL. Make sure that you are confident typing on a QWERTY
keyboard. If you aren't, search for typing practice drills online. Even
if your typing skills are strong, try doing practice tests on other
computers. Some students get so used to their own computer that they get
nervous when they have to type on a new keyboard or use a different mouse on test day.

Australia has been ranked as the second-best country in the
world for its quality of life by a UN report which assessed economic,
education and life-expectancy data.
The nation's "Human Development Index" (HDI) was measured at .935 out
of a maximum score of one, coming second to Norway and beating
Switzerland, which has held on to third place in 2015's annual report.
Australia's impressive score was calculated by crunching data on what
the UN says are the "three basic dimensions of human development".
They are: life expectancy at birth, mean and expected years of
schooling and standard of living, which is measured by gross national
income per capita.
Australians can expect to live on average to about
82-and-a-half-years-old, have a mean 13 years of schooling and the gross
national income per person is $58,618.
And despite Australian women living on average four years longer and
spending more time hitting the books, men's average gross national
income was significantly higher at $70,620 compared to the woman's
average of $46,727.
In Norway, the only country ranked higher than Australia, life
expectancy was lower at 81.6 years and the mean years of schooling were
12.6 but citizens enjoy a much bigger slice of the national pie.
The gross national income per capita in the number-one country was a
whopping $US64,992 ($A90,148), dwarfing the $US680 measured in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo, which came in way down the list of 188
countries at 176.
A steady increase in Australia's HDI has been revealed by the report, with growth averaging .32 between 1990 and 2014.
Australia's trans-Tasman neighbours didn't fare as well, with New
Zealand slipping from seventh spot to a joint ninth position with
Canada.
The UK came in at number 14 in the HDI report.
