The Reading section comes first on the TOEFL test. As I’ve said, I’m not going to bore you details about how the TOEFL is formatted, but a quick review is probably a good idea.
The TOEFL Reading section has 3 or 4 reading passages. If you have three reading passage hour to complete the reading section. If you have four, you have eighty minutes. You’re given in TOTAL—which means if you’re done one passage quickly, you have more time for then you can see, this divides up to twenty minutes per passage. You must be very careful not to minutes. The most common mistake students make is when they take too much time on the f reading passages and do not have enough time to finish the third. Obviously, this impacts t big way! Now, if you’re given four reading passages, there is good news and bad news. The b they are not going to score one of those passages. They’re putting it on the test to try o material. The good news is that if you have a longer reading section, you will have a sh section.
One more word of caution: if you get four reading passages, do not try to guess which ready not be scored. Do your best on all four.
Each reading passage has 12-14 questions. Most questions are worth one point. The summary question at the end is worth 2 points, and chart questions are worth 3-4 points. If any question is worth point, it will be indicated in the directions. READ ALL DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY. The can get on the reading section is 30.
One thing that is very important for you to understand before you take the TOEFL: a lot of what they aren’t experts or don’t have degrees in the subjects on the test. These subjects c psychology, history, art, archaeology, astronomy, biology, biographies, and so on. But this is a and only a language test. As such, all the information you need to answer the ques given to you in the passage.
