TOEFL Test Prep Planner

The TOEFL test questions are divided into four parts, and the first three parts use multiple choice questions. Each question usually has 4 alternative answers, and the questions are answered on the prescribed answer sheet uniformly. All answers are scored using a computer. The fourth part is the composition TWE. During the test, the composition test is performed first, followed by the other three parts. The composition test time is 30 minutes, and the other three parts are 110 minutes. It takes three and a half hours from the time a candidate enters the test room to the end of the test.

The first part is Listening Comprehension, about 50 questions, about 30 minutes. It is mainly to test the ability of the candidate to listen, speak and understand American English. This part is divided into three groups A, B, and C. Each group has a detailed explanation before the question. Group A is a sentence and answers after listening to the recording; Group B is a simple conversation and answering after listening to the recording; Group C is a longer conversation or essay. After listening to the recording, candidates should answer the questions they need to answer Answer immediately.

The second part is about grammatical structure and written expression (Structure & Written Expressive), about 40 questions, and the test time is 25 minutes. The main test is the ability of candidates to master basic grammar in standard English written writing. The second part consists of two sets of questions, A and B. Group A questions focus on the grammatical structure and require candidates to choose the answers to complete incomplete sentences. Group B mainly selects incorrect answers from the underlined words or phrases to test the candidates' written expression ability.

The third part is Vocabulary & Reading Comprehension, about 60 questions, 45 minutes. The main test is the ability of candidates to use English vocabulary and the ability to understand various types of English reading materials. This section is also divided into two groups, A and B. In group A, the best answer is selected on the underlined part; in group B, the correct answer is selected according to the reading materials.

TOEFL test scores include three project scores and a total score. The three-part score is the "original score" obtained by the candidate for the correct number of questions, and the "proportion score" obtained through statistical means, and the total score is obtained by multiplying the three-part proportional score by 10 and dividing by 3. Candidates don't deduct points for wrong answers, so the best T0EFL test score in the world is 680 points. American or Canadian institutions do not have uniform rules on admission scores for freshmen, but generally about three-quarters of institutions require freshmen with a TOEFL score of 550 or higher. Majors in American literature, humanities, journalism, and business management have higher TOEFL scores, while computer, math, and natural sciences have slightly lower requirements. T0EFL test scores are valid for two years. Those who need T0EFL scores after two years must retake the test.
