Good morning and thank you very much for your time to stop by English Plus blog!
English Plus is a small language school located in Tamachi, Tokyo.
We're providing fun, student-centered, practical English lessons.
Today, I would like to write about how to finish the reading section of the TOEIC exam.
Completing the TOEIC reading section in time is a major challenge for many test takers.
In fact, we often hear from English Plus students that they have trouble finishing all the questions.
So today, we have compiled a list of effective strategies and practices to help you finish the TOEIC (Reading) test in time.
1. set a target time for each Part
Part 5: about 10 minutes (30 Questions)
Part 6: about 10 minutes (16 Questions)
Part 7: about 55 minutes (54 Questions)
2. Develop skills to process Part 5 and 6 quickly
・Grammar or Vocabulary questions should ideally be within 20 seconds per question
・Immediate decision making through pattern recognition (e.g. vocabulary questions, tense, parts of speech)
・Train grasp of sentence structure (quickly recognize subject, verb, object)
3. Time-saving techniques for Part 7
・Practice skimming and scanning
・Practice “not reading everything carefully” is important
・Training to find specific information quickly
・Don't focus too much on one sentence, skip sentences you don't understand
4. Devising the order of questions in Part 7
・Solve Single Passage first
・Try “Triple Passage” last with time in mind
・Start with relatively short passages or advertisement or email format is also effective
5. Practice and develop the habit of time management
Make it a habit to time and solve mock exams as you would in a real test
Other tips to maintain motivation:
・Record “the number of questions solved in time” little by little each time to realize your progress
・Even if you are not good at Part 7, you can recover by creating a scoring source in Parts 5 and 6, so be conscious of “getting a balanced score rather than a perfect score” in the real exam
✅ Summary: The golden rule for completing the reading on time:
1. Set a time limit for each part and observe it
2. Don't focus on difficult questions, but look at the whole picture and proceed
3. Get used to time management by repeatedly practicing in the real test format
We provide TOEIC lessons on Saturday, and if you are interested, please take a trial lesson.
