Dear chins,

Do you mean score 180 in the computer-based or paper-based TOEFL test? Either way, the answer is pretty much the same: you should develop your general English skills as much as possible. This can be done by reading English books, newspapers, magazines, watching English films and English television, talking to native speakers of English and so on. The TOEFL preparation materials on this site are also very good. However, all this might not be enough: your weakness might be in that you are tense or nervous when you take the test, or you might have misunderstood something in regard to the test questions. If you feel nervous when sitting the test, take a deep breath. You have learnt a lot, after all! And if the structure of the test itself is a problem, use this and other sites dedicated to TOEFL preparation and learn how the test works. Best of luck with your TOEFL test.
