Quick Review of The TOEFL Reading
The Reading section comes first on the TOEFL test. As I’ve said, this book is not going to bore you with excessive 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 passages, you have an hour to complete the reading section. If you have four, you have eighty minutes.
You’re given this time limit in TOTAL which means if you’re done one passage quickly, you have more time for the next passage. As you can see, this divides up to twenty minutes per passage. You must be very careful not to go over the 20 minutes.
Each reading passage has 12-14 questions. Most questions are worth one point. The summary question at the end is worth 2 points, and the chart questions are worth 3-4 points.
If any question is worth more than one point, it will be indicated in the directions. READ ALL DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY. The best score you can get on the reading section is 30.
What is the most common mistake students make in the TOEFL Reading section?
The most common mistake students make is when they take too much time on the first and second reading passages and do not have enough time to finish the third.
Obviously, this impacts their score in a big way!
Now, if you’re given four reading passages, there is good news and bad news.
- The bad news is that they are not going to score one of those passages. They’re putting it on the test to try out new testing material.
- The good news is that if you have a longer reading section, you will have a shorter listening section.
