First, no. Second, what's TOFEL? I don't believe in luck, I rather make sure everything's going right instead of relying on my luck.

Oh hmm... Well I don't think you can master it in a month... maybe get the basics. I've been studying English ever since I was 6 years old, and I still havent mastered it. I'd say, you need to live at least 3 months in an enviroment that only speak English to pass such test if you don't have any previous experience in that language. I wish you best of luck!

I also think accordingly but still I think it takes time to master so that he is prepared for the test.

Hello, Welcome to myLot. Yeah, absolutely its possible. In order to achieve that, you have to constantly live, eat, drink, sleep in that language. LoL. I wanted to mean, you have to totally forget about your own language for a few days. Often the protocols and style of two different languages differ, so when they collide, you are left with absolutely nothing. You wouldn't want that, would you? So better to start living in english for a few days. Don't depend on luck, as there is no such thing. If you try hard, it will definitely get you a good score. You will get a pure sense of satisfaction once you get your score. Even looking at your score card will bring peace in your mind. Try it and let me know the result. God bless you
