TOEIC Reading
The TOEIC reading section tests students on their reading comprehension and grammar skills. There are 3 sections:
The test outline is as follows:
Section 1: Incomplete Sentences Directions • Read a sentence with a missing word or phrase • Choose the missing word/phrase from the options This section of the test has 2 main styles of questions:
Vocabulary Vocabulary questions take 4 words and ask you to choose the correct word. Here is an example: The updated ____________ was released in November. a) budget b) responsibility c) target market d) human resources This is a vocabulary question because the words are different from one another. These questions are testing your vocabulary, and whether you know a variety of business words. Often, the words look similar. For example: a) critical b) chemical c) crucial d) comical Grammar Grammar questions have options that are from the same word family. Grammar example: The new employee is very __________. a) creation b) creating c) creative d) create This is a grammar example because all the words are from the same word family. The question is testing your ability to choose the correct form of the word. Take a look at the incomplete sentences section for strategies, more examples, and tests. Part 2: Text Completion Directions • Read a text • Fill in the missing word from the options The text completion section of the TOEIC test is very similar to the incomplete sentences section. The main difference is that questions are grouped together into one theme. The text may be a business letter, and inside that text there are 3 fill in the blank questions. Although this section looks different than the incomplete sentences, it is almost the same. The questions still test your ability on grammar or vocabulary. The incomplete sentences lesson is also good practice for this section of the TOEIC test. Part 3: Reading Comprehension The reading comprehension section of the TOEIC exam tests your ability to read and understand passages of various lengths. The passages have a variety of forms, but mainly follow business communication style. Here is a list of the different types of reading passages:
Types of Questions • Vocabulary in Context • Main Idea • Making Inferences • Determining Audience • Determining Writer • Determining Purpose • Specific Content Questions Check out the reading comprehension lesson for examples, strategies, tests, and more details. |
