About TOEFL iBT:

　　The TOEFL iBT consists of four sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. The entire test is about four hours long, and all sections are taken on the same day. It emphasizes the student’s ability to use English effectively in academic settings.

In addition, you might try these activities:
  • Scan the passages to find and highlight key facts (dates, numbers, terms) and information.
  • Increase vocabulary knowledge, perhaps by using flashcards.
  • Rather than carefully reading each word and each sentence, practice skimming a passage quickly to get a general impression of the main idea.
  • Choose some unfamiliar words in the passage and guess the meanings from the context (surrounding sentences).
  • Select all the pronouns (he, him, they, them, etc.) and identify which nouns each one refers to in the passage.
  • Practice making inferences and drawing conclusions based on what is implied in the passage as a whole.

Academic Reading Skills


　　The Reading section measures your ability to understand university-level aca- demic texts and passages. In many academic settings around the world, students are expected to read and understand information from textbooks and other academic materials written in English. The following are three purposes for aca- demic reading:

Reading to find information
　　effectively scanning text for key facts and important information increasing reading fluency and rate
Basic comprehension
  • understanding the general topic or main idea, major points, important facts and details, vocabulary in context, and pronoun references
  • making inferences about what is implied in a passage
Reading to learn
  • recognizing the organization and purpose of a passage
    understanding relationships between ideas
  • organizing information into a category chart or a summary in order to recall major points and important details
  • inferring how ideas throughout the passage connect
