Hi there, I agree with the comment than scoring high in the TOEFL isn’t rocket science. Language isn’t my mother tongue (French is). With a few years working in American environment but only one week “test practice”, I scored 118…good luck to y’all !

A Pakistani with 114 would be me [26R, 29L, 30S, 29W].

I merely trifled with it – otherwise, as already stated, it is no rocket science but a basic English test!

p.s: I am in 6th Semester of B.S.
