Test Structure
The TOEIC test is a paper-and-pencil test that consists of 200 multiple-choice questions divided into two separately timed sections.
Although the actual testing time is approximately two hours, examinees must complete the biographical questions on the answer sheet and respond to a brief questionnaire about their educational and work history. Therefore, you should allow approximately 2.5 hours to take the test.
Listening: Test takers will hear a variety of recorded statements, questions, short conversations and short talks in English, and answer 100 questions based on what they hear. There are four parts.
Reading: Test takers will real a variety of materials and respond at their own pace to 100 questions.
