These examples provide a mere summary of the lectures, but there's no mention of the passage at all. It's strange, 'cause most of the books and video lectures tell about the importance of the passage as well. After all, that's why this type of question is called integrated.
Lecture "Forgetting" (transcripts) Ok. So today let's talk about forgetting. Is there anyone who ever forgot an important appointment and didn't know what to do? Well, I guess there isn't anybody who hasn't become aware this term, right? Well, the psychologists say the forgetting is divided in the several types. Decay theory is one of them. As the word suggests, our memories are decaying as you do not use it. For example, let's say you have to call the dean's office and you don't remember the number. So your friend tells you the number, but two hours after making the phone call, you forget the number again. In this case, your memories are fading away as time passes. But the Interference theory, on the other hand, means did you forget your memories as their interfered by other memories. I once experienced this at the bookstore. I had some books I wanted to get so I made the list and hand to the bookstore. When I arrived at the bookstore I realized I have left the list in my car, but telling myself "It's going to be ok". I already remembered the list. I just had it the bookstore. A few minutes later, I bumped to a friend of mine and we talked about the books he peeped. We talked about that for a while and then he asked me what I bought. So I told him I didn't buy any yet but I'm going to get...you know what happened...I totally forgot the whole list. Not even a single titled came to my mind. I only remember the book my friend mentioned.
Sample answers are pretty good, but I am still sure that we need to say a couple of words about reading. It will be great if answers start with "The article is about...", or "the Writer claims that ...".
Sorry about the delay Pharma... That comment went totally unnoticed in my email account. I just saw it. (I guess I'm too late) You are right that the sample response does not include info about the text, so it is not absolutely crucial that you summarize the content of the text. however, I found that my students found helpful the idea of framing their answers with a regular pattern like the one I suggested. They feel they can attack the task with more confidence, but it is not indispensable.
do you know that if you dont indicate or tlk about the reading you will loose marks for that since its integrated you must tlk about the reading , not much about it but to bring the reading on board is great idea
I agree with other people in the comments about the lack of reference or acknowledgement to the reading passage. Your score is based on including and stating both the informations from the 2 sources.Of course include only those info which are required.!

Lecture "Cyclic Population Change" (transcripts) Ok, class. Today we'll be looking at one aspect of the ecosystems: Cyclic Population Change. As time passes by, species increase or decrease their population due to many different situations there are around them. This phenomenon is rather interesting because the population of the species returns to its original condition after it finishes its cycle. Let me give you an example of this. Let's take a look at wolves and mice. In the beginning, there are numerous mice in only a few packs of wolves. So these wolves have plentiful food sources that can develop their stomachs. Therefore, there is a significant increase in the number of wolves and a decrease in mice. However, as time passes, the decrease in mice causes problems for the wolves because there isn't enough food for them to eat. As result, wolves solely begin to die-off giving time to mice to reproduce. To the whole process repeat itself again.
Catalina Castillo No, you won't, that's only a reference. Meaning, it gives you an idea on how to give your answer. Pay attention only to the structure. It worked for me. Good luck.
I got 88. It was enough to be admitted to a Master Program at GMU. 80 is the minimum for undergraduate. I only studied 3 months using UA-cam heavily. Meaning zero cost.
+Catalina Castillo the passage is big and will make you lose time, copy the title, and his definition, take notes of the examples provided on the lecture, follow with a template.. there is a lot of info about that on youtube, is easy realy.
there is 30 seconds prepare right? but it does not give you time to prepare after the lecture. Are you sure there is 30 seconds prepare after the lecture???
Though answers are good overall, but I think ETS don't give you full grade , if you answer about listening and not any word from reading. Afterall, it's integrated task and they ask separately quetion 5 and 6 for listening passage only. Correct me, if I am wrong as I am trying to get 26 and I am stuck with 24.
In the first sample answer the woman just resume the professor experience. She doesn't mention the reading...is that correct? I mean, every book says you should include details both from the lecture and the reading passage...
The sample questions are very helpful. However, i think the sample answers are not sufficient. They should have included some informations of the passage on the answer.
I pray for God that biology will be the subject on my test day... Bahavior is OK as well.... I don't know squad about economic and business subjects...
discover a strength or weakness you did not know you had and say what circumstances made you realize you possessed this characteristic pleas if you have downlod your help me a lot thank
Hmm why does the person speaking in the sample of the 3rd question keep saying "He" instead of her ? Obviously the professor is a woman ..... Anyways thank you for the videos they are really helpful :P

+Elene Shubladze the passage don't matter, only the title and definition. skip the rest.
Elene Shubladze
i agree with you you will loose points for not mnetioning the reading
I also agree... The sample answer does not even mention the topic and the main idea from the reading.
Where are the passages to read? im sorry I cant find the MORE INFO section
@lixek14 in the description of the video. Just at the bottom of the video's reproductoro says "see more" or something like that. Click on it.

Hi, isn't this a Question 6 type ?
What is expected from me in the conclusion? Is it only stating the lecturer´s opinion in comparison to the text?
@mjezaTM because they skip the definition of the article
I could not find the reading passage?!
Sample answers are pretty good, but I am still sure that we need to say a couple of words about reading. It will be great if answers start with "The article is about...", or "the Writer claims that ...".

Hey if forgot whether the lecturer was male or female, & if we use by mistake he instead of her is it ok?
do you know that if you dont indicate or tlk about the reading you will loose marks for that since its integrated you must tlk about the reading , not much about it but to bring the reading on board is great idea

+ElDeLaPanaca you mean that you got 88 out of 120 in toefl iBT? ?
GMU requires 80 for BA and 88 for Master's degrees. So, I got it with youtube. No pennies spent besides 3 dollars on used books.
