Overview of TOEIC ⭐︎
The length of TOEIC L&R is two hours. Test takers use an optically scanned answer sheet.
There are 200 questions to answer in the test. The first section is Listening. The listening section has 100 questions, part one through part four in 45 minutes. Part one is the easiest to answer, and part four is the hardest.
The reading section is the next, with 75 minutes from part five to part seven. The number of questions in the reading section is 100, the same as the listening section. The reading length is the shortest in part five, and part seven has the longest passage in the section.
You need to mark your answers on your answer sheet, not in the test book. The test is only in English. There are no Japanese explanations or instructions in Japanese.
TOEIC is designed to evaluate the ability of international communication, so no question requires a translation between Japanese and English. The same question format is used each time. We advise you to get used to the format before you take the test.
