Top 5 Mistakes Indian Students Make in TOEFL Writing

Indian students, especially those from Kerala, often face specific challenges while attempting the TOEFL Writing section. Here are the top five mistakes that we’ve observed and how you can avoid them:

  1. Overusing Fancy Vocabulary: Simplicity is key. Using high-level words without context can reduce clarity.
  2. Ignoring the Task Instructions: TOEFL is strict about structure. Always address every part of the prompt.
  3. Weak Thesis Statements: Your introduction should clearly state your argument or opinion.
  4. Lack of Examples: Support each point with real-life or hypothetical examples.
  5. Grammar and Spelling Errors: Even minor errors can lower your score significantly.
