I know I need to organize my essay responses on the TOEFL, but I’m struggling with how to do that. Any suggestions?

Well, there are several templates that you might memorize and follow that provide good specific guides for the different question types that might arise.

Overall, it is key that you always structure an essay with an Introduction (Stating your point), Body Paragraph(s) (Ideas that logically supporting your point, and are supported themselves by examples), and a conclusion (basically restating your thesis). Structure is also present in your use of transitions. So learn transitional words and phrases and use them to link your essay together.
