Most test-takers find it hard to answer 100 questions in just 75 minutes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Engoo<\/a>, we have a lot of experience helping students prepare for tests. Today, we'll share some tips specifically for finishing the TOEIC reading test in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Focus_on_Part_7_First\"><\/span><strong>Focus on Part 7 First<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The TOEIC reading test has three parts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Part 5: Incomplete sentences (30 questions)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Part 6: Text completion (16 questions)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Part 7: Reading comprehension (54 questions)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Part 7 is the longest and most difficult, so we recommend starting there since it will require more energy and focus. After that, you can return to Parts 5 and 6.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you can use your time like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Part 7: 55 minutes (around 1 minute per question)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Part 5: 10 minutes (maximum 20 seconds per question)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Part 6: 10 minutes (maximum 30 seconds per question)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving Part 7 more time can also make a difference on your test score. A TOEIC guide by Oxford University Press said this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>If students don't know the key words needed to get the answers to questions in Parts 5 and 6, spending extra time isn't going to help. In Part 7, however, having an extra minute on a difficult question could make a huge difference in the search for the correct answer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Part_7_Strategy\"><\/span>Part 7 Strategy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Parts 5 and 6 are all fill-in-the-blank questions, but Part 7 has a lot more variety. There are long passages \u2014 sometimes more than one \u2014 along with different types of questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this part is challenging for you, we suggest starting with easier questions, specifically ones that can be answered with the least reading. For example, which of the following three questions is the easiest for you to answer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The word \"highlight\" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to which of the following words?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which product does the customer want to return?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is most likely true about the product the customer ordered?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Question 1 asks about a vocabulary word, while question 2 asks about a specific detail, which you can find by quickly scanning the text.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/blog\/language-tips\/on-the-other-hand-expressions-for-making-comparisons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">On the other hand<\/a>, question 3 asks you to make a guess based on your understanding of the whole passage. This question will likely take you a bit more time to answer.\u00a0So when you work through question sets, it's best to start with questions like 1 and 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Oxford guide explains another benefit of this strategy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>[B]y quickly scanning the passage to answer the specific information questions, they [test-takers] can pick up a general sense of what the passage is about and how it is organized. By the time they have answered the easier questions, they may already have enough information to answer the more challenging ones, or at least they will have a better idea of where to look to find the answer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Part_5_and_Part_6_Strategy\"><\/span>Part 5 and Part 6 Strategy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be wondering how to answer questions in Parts 5 and 6 in 20-30 seconds. Many test-takers find it useful to go through the questions in two rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol id=\"block-6beed9cd-84fe-4d4a-b363-50b506b67ae0\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the first round, try to answer as many questions as possible, as quickly as possible. Skip questions you find difficult or that take a lot of time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the second round, return to the questions you skipped the first time and try your best to solve them. If you don't know an answer after more than 20-30 seconds, take your best guess and move on.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In Parts 5 and 6, there are two main types of questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Vocabulary questions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grammar questions<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Vocabulary questions test your knowledge of what a word means and\/or how it's used.

But if you're stuck on a grammar-focused question, try to find the answer using the surrounding words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practice_Speaking_English\"><\/span>Practice Speaking English<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our final tip is to get plenty of practice speaking English.
