To perform well on the new TOEFL test, having good listening skills is essential. First of all, the separate listening section of the TOEFL exam will test your listening ability. Secondly, in speaking questions 4-6 and the integrated writing task, listening ability will also be tested. The assessment of listening skills runs almost throughout the entire new TOEFL exam process, which is why some people say that "he who masters listening, masters TOEFL."
