TOEFL is an English proficiency test for non-native speakers at the university level. The exam includes reading, writing, listening, and speaking sections, with questions in multiple-choice or essay format. The internet-based test has four sections, while the paper version is an hour shorter.
The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) tests writing, reading, listening and speaking skills in English for non-native speakers at the university academic level. TOEFL questions are either multiple choice or essay. The exam consists of several sections, including a reading passage with questions, a series of short essays, a multiple-choice section, and a series of incomplete sentences that must be filled in with the correct word. The exact structure of the exam depends on whether it is taken online or on paper. Most students take the Internet version, as the paper-based exam is usually only used when the testing facility does not have Internet access.
TOEFL questions on the internet-based test, also known as TOEFL iBT, come in four sections. There are four hours to complete this version of the test. After the first two sections – reading and listening – there is a ten-minute break. Next, the speaking and writing parts.
The reading section typically includes about three to five passages. There are 12 to 14 questions that must be answered on each pass. Then there are about six to nine passages in the listening section, on which there will be five to six questions each. The TOEFL questions in the Lectures section consist of six assignments where the student must answer one question per assignment. The final section is writing, in which the student will write two essays in response to two questions.
The TOEFL questions on the paper version of the exam are similar but organized a little differently. The four sections are Listening, Structure and Written Expression, Reading Comprehension and Writing. The main difference between the two is that the paper version is an hour shorter than the Internet version.
The first section is listening, which has three parts: one with questions about short conversations, a second that covers long conversations, and a third that requires the student to answer a series of questions after listening to short lectures or lectures. The next part is the structure and written expression section, which has 15 sentences that must be filled in with the correct word from a list of options and another 25 questions in which the student must identify errors in various parts of the writing. In the reading comprehension section, the student will answer questions after reading a series of passages. Writing is the final section. It consists of a short essay that must be written in response to a question.
