Hello!
TOEFL ?
4. 1. PBT (Paper-Based Test)
Paper-based test merupakan jenis TOEFL® yang sangat populer
diselenggarakan di institusi pendidikan, tempat les, dan lembaga
bahasa khusus. Mengikuti tes ini, kamu seperti mengikuti tes biasa,
yakni hadir di tempat dan mengerjakan soal yang dicetak. Tes
dikerjakan selama kurang-lebih 3 jam dan terdiri atas listening,
structure & written expression, reading comprehension, dan writing.
Singkatnya, bisa kamu lihat pada tabel berikut ini.
5. 2. iBT (Internet-Based Test)
Format tes yang ini mulai populer akhir tahun 2005,
menggantikan computer-based dan paper-based. Pada dasarnya
format soal sama dengan paper-based, tapi tanpa sesi structure.
Inilah yang menjadi perbedaan utama PBT dan iBT. Selain itu,
susunan pertanyaan dan durasinya pun sedikit berbeda.
6. 3. ITP (Institutional Testing Program)
TOEFL® ITP biasanya diselenggarakan oleh perguruan tinggi atau
lembaga bahasa Inggris tepercaya. Soal yang diujikan tetap berpatokan
pada model soal internasional. Nah, karena jenis TOEF®L ini tidak
diakui internasional, kamu wajib mencari tahu apakah universitas
atau pemberi beasiswa pilihanmu menerima hasil TOEFL® ITP. Jika
menerima, kamu bisa mendaftar di lembaga kursus bahasa Inggris
atau TOEFL® ITP test center di Kaplan Edupac Indonesia, AIA Central

Robert Moog was an American inventor who developed the Moog Synthesizer. It
was one of the first synthesizers to gain widespread use as a musical instrument.
Moog’s synthesizers were an important pa Line of musical innovation in rock and jazz
music in the 1960s and 1970s. Robert Arthur Moog was born in Queens, a borough of
New York City 75 years ago. He became fascinated with electronics as a teenager,
particularly an early electronic music instrument called the theremin. Moog studied
physic and electrical engineering at Queens College and Columbia University, both in
New York City and later received a Ph.D. in engineering physic Cornel University in
Ithaca, New York. In 1954, while still an undergraduate student, Moog formed his
own company to sell theremins and theremin kits.
Soon after, Moog began working on a keyboard instrument that could replicate
the sound of any musical instrument electronically. Working with American composer
Herbert Deutsch, Moog introduced the prototype Moog Synthesizer at a convention in
1964. The device represented a significant advance over previous electronic
synthesizer because of its use of new semiconductor technology, which made it
smaller and considerably cheaper than earlier machines. The Moog, as it was known,
was soon in demand by musician all over the world.
In 1964, Moog began a collaboration with American composer and organist
Walter Carlos (now Wendy Carlos), who released the bestselling electronic music
album Switched-On Bach in 1968. Rock groups such as the Beatles and Yes and jazz
musicians such as Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea began incorporating Moog
Synthesizer into their recordings, a trend that increased when the company
introduced the compact and portable Minimoog in 1970. A Moog Synthesizer was also
prominently featured on the soundtrack to the movie A Clockwork Orange in 1971.
