托福口语考试中要针对题型集中训练。根据历年的习题托福机经整理题型，按题型进行训练，会达到更好的托福口语训练的效果。所以托福口语练习考生要对题目的评分标准和题目本身的要求有具体的认识，并根据自己的基础在考前针对新托福口语考试的题型做集中训练。
关于评分标准，OG (Official Guide官方指南) 上都有详细的说明，ETS以下列3点作为自己的评分准则：
1. Delivery: How clear your speech is. Good responses are those in which the speech is fluid and clear, with good pronunciation, natural pacing, and natural-sounding intonation patterns。
2. Language Use: How effectively you use grammar and vocabulary to convey your ideas. Raters will be looking to see how well you can control both basic and more complex language structures and use appropriate vocabulary。
3. Topic Development: How fully you answer the question and how coherently you present your ideas. Good responses generally use all or most of the time allotted, and the relationship between ideas and the progression from one idea to the next is clear and easy to follow。
新托福口语考试的重点是要培养考生尽量做到使自己的语言流畅、清晰、易懂，并且能够熟练使用口语词汇。其中托福口语中的"流畅"要求考生要以较流畅的语速表述自己的观点，其实也是提醒考生必须有效利用时间。通常内容越丰富、信息量越大，越容易得高分。而清晰、易懂不仅要求考生的语音、语调应当尽量符合美国当地的用词用句习惯，更重要的是要求考生应恰当使用词汇、句型并且话语的层次应尽量清楚明了、过渡自然。
