href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/toefl-registration-what-is-the-process\/\">why should you consider passing the TOEFL<\/a> exam? On top of that, if your level of English is already quite advanced, you might also wonder: why should you know the structure of the test? While it is true that practicing and improving your English is essential, it is not enough! <strong>Each section indeed has its specificities<\/strong>, which you must study in order to complete your test efficiently! If you wish to <a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/toefl-studying-abroad-usa\/\">study abroad in the USA<\/a> or another country, you must make sure that you get a high score on the exam.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing the components of the four sections of the test will allow you to become familiar with what\u2019s expected of you. Each section indeed includes specific questions and types of exercises, for which you will have a<strong> limited amount of time<\/strong>. To not get caught by surprise, <strong>make sure you\u2019ve carefully examined and studied the components of each section<\/strong>. In addition, it is also highly recommended to train for each of them!<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"post-3663-_l4fjo2p5m58u\"><\/a>What Are the Four Sections of the TOEFL IBT Test?<\/h2>\n<p>The four sections of the TOEFL IBT are Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing. They take place in the following order:<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-3061\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-3061\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Section<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Time Limit<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Questions<\/th><th class=\"column-4\"><center>Tasks<\/center><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Reading<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">54-72 minutes<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">30-40 questions<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Read passages and respond to questions<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Listening<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">41-57 minutes<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">28-39 questions<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Answer questions about brief lectures or classroom discussions<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Break<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">10 minutes<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">\/<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">\/<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Speaking<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">17 minutes<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">4 tasks<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Talk about familiar topic and discuss material you read and listened to<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Writing<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">50 minutes<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2 tasks<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Read a passage, listen to a recording, type your response<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h2>TOEFL Reading: What Is the Structure of the Section?<\/h2>\n<p>We will be going over the <a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/toefl-reading-online-training\/\">TOEFL Reading Section&rsquo;s Structure<\/a>. This section is specifically designed to assess how well you can read and understand academic content. You will have to read 3 or 4 passages, each approximately 700 words long. After reading the passages, you will have to answer 10 questions for each of them. Overall, you will have 54 to 72 minutes to answer all the questions of this section.<\/p>\n<h3>Types of questions:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Factual information questions:<\/strong> these questions ask you to recognize information that is explicitly stated in the text (e.g. major ideas, supporting details or definitions). These questions can read like: \u201cParagraph X answers which of the following?\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Negative factual information questions:<\/strong> for these questions, three of the four answers are true. You will need to determine which one is false. These questions can read like: \u201cAccording to paragraph X, which one of the following is not true?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Some useful tips for both types of questions:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>For the factual information questions: Don\u2019t select an answer just because It contains words or phrases from the paragraph. Instead, evaluate each option to determine if it is correct.<\/li>\n<li>For the negative factual information questions: Remember that you\u2019re looking for an answer that either isn\u2019t in the paragraph, or directly contradicts information in the paragraph.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>TOEFL Listening: What Does the Section Consist Of?<\/h2>\n<p>This section is designed to evaluate your capacity to understand conversations and lectures in English. It includes two types of comprehension skills:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Basic <strong>comprehension<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Pragmatic <strong>understanding<\/strong> (corresponding to the speaker\u2019s attitude and degree of certainty) and connecting and synthesizing information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Then, there are two types of listening items during the Speaking test, namely lectures and conversations. Both of these use campus-based language. Here is the <a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/toefl-listening-online-training\/\">general structure of the TOEFL Listening Section<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>3 or 4 lectures<\/strong>: each of those last from 3 to 5 minutes, with 6 questions per lecture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2 or 3 conversations:<\/strong> these are conversations with two speakers. Each of them are 3 minutes long, with 5 minutes per conversation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Last but not least, you can take notes on any audio item throughout the test, which will help you answer the test questions. Overall, you will have 41 to 57 minutes to complete the Listening section.<\/p>\n<h2>TOEFL Speaking: What Is the Format of the Section?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/toefl-speaking-online-training\/\">The Speaking section of the TOEFL IBT<\/a> is designed to measure your ability to speak English in an academic setting. It includes 4 tasks resembling real-life situations, which you might encounter inside and outside the classroom.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Question 1:<\/strong> it is an \u201cindependent speaking task\u201d meaning that it requires you to use your own ideas, opinions and experiences in your responses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Question 2<\/strong>: it is an \u201cintegrated speaking task\u201d meaning that it requires you to combine your English-language skills (including speaking and listening, or listening, reading and speaking) as you would in other contexts outside the classroom.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Before each response, you will get 15 to 30 seconds of preparation time. Your response will be 45 or 60 seconds long.<\/p>\n<p>To respond, you will have to speak into the microphone on your headset. Your responses will be recorded and sent to ETS for evaluation. To ensure fairness and quality, your performance will be scored by a combination of AI scoring and certified human professionals. Overall, you will have 17 minutes to complete the Speaking section.<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-3663-_1c0pxuj92xsr\"><\/a>Some useful tips<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Use preparation time to <strong>organize<\/strong> your thoughts.<\/li>\n<li>Take <strong>notes<\/strong> but don\u2019t write a full response.<\/li>\n<li>Graders want to hear you speaking, not reading!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t memorize<\/strong> responses before the test. Memorized responses will lower your score.<\/li>\n<li>You don\u2019t need to organize your response into sections like a written essay. Speak naturally and use common connecting words and phrases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-63369\" src=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/toefl-guidelines-e1631625498247.jpg\" alt=\"word made out of cube letters\" width=\"489\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/toefl-guidelines-e1631625498247-200x82.jpg 200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/toefl-guidelines-e1631625498247-300x123.jpg 300w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/toefl-guidelines-e1631625498247-400x164.jpg 400w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/toefl-guidelines-e1631625498247-600x246.jpg 600w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/toefl-guidelines-e1631625498247-669x272.jpg 669w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/toefl-guidelines-e1631625498247-768x314.jpg 768w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/toefl-guidelines-e1631625498247-800x328.jpg 800w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/toefl-guidelines-e1631625498247-1024x419.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/toefl-guidelines-e1631625498247-1200x491.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/toefl-guidelines-e1631625498247.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 489px) 100vw, 489px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>TOEFL Writing: Section Format, Structure and Instructions<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/toefl-writing-online-training\/\">The TOEFL Writing section&rsquo;s format<\/a> is designed to evaluate your ability to write in English in an academic context. You will be expected to be able to present your ideas in a clear, well-organized and concise way.<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-3663-_urv1ufqzk4jo\"><\/a>What does it consist of?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The integrated writing task (20 minutes):<\/strong> you will have to read a short passage and listen to a short lecture, then write in response to what you read and listened to. Your response should generally be between 150 and 225 words, unless stated otherwise.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The independent writing task (30 minutes):<\/strong> you will have to write an essay based on personal experience or opinion in response to a writing topic.

We also advise that you take notes on key points.<\/li>\n<li>You don\u2019t need to memorize the passage since it will stay on <strong>screen<\/strong> when you write.<\/li>\n<li>During the lecture, take <strong>notes<\/strong> and listen for points that respond to the reading passage.<\/li>\n<li>For the writing part of this question, you can for instance be asked to summarize the points in the lecture and explain how they relate to specific points in the reading passage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>For the independent writing task: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The question often asks you about your <strong>opinion<\/strong> on certain topics. Regardless of the questions, use specific reasons and examples to support your argument.<\/li>\n<li>Make an <strong>outline<\/strong> before you start writing: this will help keep your writing concise and structured.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t try to memorize paragraphs on various topics before you take the writing text to relate them to the topic you receive. The content will most certainly not be appropriate to the specific question you\u2019re asked.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you&rsquo;re ready to <a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/toefl-registration-what-is-the-process\/\">register for the TOEFL<\/a> and get your absolute best score, the<a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/toefl-test-center-how-to-find-the-nearest-exam-locations\/\"> choose your TOEFL test center<\/a> and start preparing with GlobalExam!<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"post-3663-_eidgiappn2o0\"><\/a>The Grading System and Total Duration of Each Section<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/global-exam.com\/blog\/en\/what-is-a-good-toefl-score\/\">The TOEFL score and the grading system<\/a> works as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Test takers will receive <strong>4 scaled section scores<\/strong> as well as a total score;<\/li>\n<li>Each section has a score range of 0 to 30;<\/li>\n<li>These are added together for a total score of 0 to 120;<\/li>\n<li>Each skill has 4 or 5 proficiency levels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Important:<\/strong> there are no passing or failing scores set by the TOEFL Program or ETS.
