toefl ibt - focus on reading

             

​The Reading section is designed to test how well you understand and interpret college-level academic texts. According to students, the Reading section is hardest and very difficult because not only the language is advanced, but the text are also about very specific topics, geography, astrology, biology, sociology, psychology, anthropology, architecture... But don't worry, if you are unfamiliar with the topic. Most of the passages will deal with broad concepts that are fundamental to understanding the subject. You won;t need to learn or demonstrate any skills on the test, you would be asked about the big ideas, details or examples that help to explain those big ideas.

 The Reading section cover 3 to 5 passages, each between 500-700 words, and you get 12 to 14 question per passage. Time allowed for whole section is 60 to 90 minutes (reading + answering, or calculated, about 20 minutes for one passage and set of question). You will be able to read each passage before answering the questions that relate to it. Clicking "next" will open the first question in a window next to the passage. Many of the questions are specific to a particular paragraph, marked with an "arrow". 
Most of the questions in the reading section have exactly one correct answer. The most important exception to this is the table questions, which will give you five or more answer choices, of which you must pick all of the correct answers and organize them properly within the table. Other questions with two or three answers are very rare, and they are clearly marked, usually with phrase "choose two answers" for those questions.
You should also be aware that some of the reading passages may use technical vocabulary. These words are always underlined, and clicking on one of these words will show the definition for that word. But you will never be asked about definition of one of those words in the questions.
About question types, you should know that ETS recognizes ten types of questions, and they are divided into three broad categories according to the kind of skill the question is designed to:
  - basic information questions ( test your ability to understand vocabulary, they include factual information questions, negative factual information and reference questions)
 - inference questions (deal with author's implied intentions or opinions, vocabulary items that are not defined but whose meanings are implied in the passage, and one common type of this question will imply a change over time, then ask you about the nature of change.
 - reading to learn questions (test your ability to recognize how the passage is organized and understand the relationships among facts and ideas in different parts of the passage.
