A look inside the TOEFL test

The TOEFL test allows you to demonstrate that you have the English skill necessary for effective communication in academic setting. Here's an overview of what to expect on the test.

The toefl test has four sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and writing. All four section  are in one testing section. With three hours of testing time.

The first sections is Reading:

  • The reading section has three or four passages of about 700 word each
  • For each passage, you will answer 10 multiple choice questions.
  • You will have 54 to 72 minutes to complete the reading section during that time, you can return to previous questions to review or change your answer.

Next is Listening section.

  • For this section, you will wear a headset to hear the conversations and lectures.
  • There are 2 or 3 conversations. Aech is about 3 minutes long and has 5 multiple choice questions.
  • Therer are 2 or 4 lectures, each of those about 3 to 5 minutes long and has 6 multiple choice questions
  • In the listening sections, you will only hear the converstaions nad lectures one time. Also, you must answers the questions in  the order that they are presented. In this sections, you can't go back to previous questions.
  • You will have 41 to 57 minutes to complete the section.

You probably noticed that in the Reading and Listening sections, the testing time and number of questions can vary. That is because every tetst includes some extra questions that are being evaluated by ETS for use in future test and do not count toward your score.

So, your tets will either have extra Reading questions or extra Listening questions, but never both. And you won't know which questions are the extra ones, so make sure you do your best on all of them.

After the listening sections, there is a required 10-minutes break. So use the time to have some water or a snack and refresh yourself for the rest of the test.

After the break is the Speaking section.

  • The speaking has four tasks and take about 17 minutes to complete.
  • Some tasks require you to listen to part of conversation or lecture, so you will continue to use your headset. Some also require you to read a short passage.
  • For each task, you will be asked a questions and will be given a short time to prpare your response. Then, you will speak into the microphone on your headset for 45 to 60 seconds, depending on the question.

Last is the writing section

  • You will complete two writing task in 50 minutes by typing responses into the computer.
  • In the first task, you will read a passage and listen to a short lecture, then write your response. You will have 20 minutes to write your response.
  • In the second task, you will be asked your opinion on an issue and you will have 30 minutes ton write your response.

And that is it. After you finish the test, you should go do something fun. You have earned it. You did your best on an important test and that is a great accomplishment.
