How should I practice speaking under the TOEFL 60 second time limit?

When I trained for TOEFL, I timed myself to 60 seconds, used a three-part outline, and adjusted with feedback.

Speaking under a strict 60-second cap forces you to lead with a clear thesis, back it up with two concrete points, and close decisively. In my own practice, I started by collecting 10 common prompts and mapping out a mini-structure for each: a quick hook or topic sentence, two supporting details with specific examples, and a concise wrap-up. I would set a 60-second timer and record, then replay to catch rushed endings, filler words, and mispronunciations. I found that using a fixed template , Intro, Point A, Point B, Conclusion , kept ideas organized even when nerves spiked. To improve fluency, I practiced single-sentence transitions like 'First, ...; Secondly, ...; Finally, ...' so transitions stay crisp and fast. I also worked on range by intentionally varying sentence length and checking that each sentence clearly supports the main idea. Finally, I simulated test conditions: five days a week, speaking aloud into a phone, with a timer and no notes, then reviewed with a rubric to target coherence, grammar, and pronunciation.
