Abstract

The EFL students need to take the TOEFL test to measure their English achievement, and this is also a compulsory test regulated by universities. This study was taken place in Universitas Islam Malang, especially English Department Students at Faculty of Education. The objectives are to investigate whether there is significant different on the strategy attainment between high and low achiever students and to know the interrelation between the strategy use and their listening score. Having been analyzed using T-test and correlation statistics, it reveals that successful students deployed the overall strategies at higher mean than their counterparts. However, the overall use of the strategy does not correlate to the listening score. Thus, the EFL students need to be more aware and select the suitable strategies when they are doing the TOEFL test.
