TOEFL Scramble 21 March

The Test of English as a Foreign Language is another item on the (sigh) to-do list of most non-US applicants to American universities. Why not get it over with this spring? It’s a great warm-up for the more advanced test (SAT, GMAT, GRE or other) you’ll probably be taking soon. To get you in the mood, here’s the TOEFL Scramble sent today to subscribers to Athena Mentor’s Quiz of the Week. For extra credit, pencil in a synonym for each word!
