2. Begin with questions 1 through 15. Anticipate that questions 1 through 5 will be the easiest. Anticipate that questions 11 through 15 will be the most difficult. Do0 not spend too much time on questions 11 through 15. There will be easier questions that come later. 1. Be familiar with the directions. The directions on every TOEFL test are the same, so it is not necessary to spend time reading the directions carefully when you take the test. You should be completely familiar with the directions before the day of the test. 3. Continue with questions 16 through 40. Anticipate that questions 16 through 20 will be the easiest. Anticipate that questions 36 through 40 will be the most difficult. Do not spend too much time on questions 36 through If you have time, return to questions 11 through 15. You should spend extra time on questions 11 through 15 only after you spend all the time that you want on the easier questions. 5. NEVER LEAVE ANY ANSWERS BLANK ON YOUR ANSWER SHEET. Even if you are not sure of the correct response, you should answer each question. There is no penalty for guessing, but if you omit the answer for a question, in this case, you will have a penalty.

STRUCTURE AND WRITTEN EXPRESSION SECTION Timing:25 minutes Number of questions:40 (although some tests may me longer) Structure: Questions This section consists of fifteen sentences in which part of the sentence has been replaced with a blank. Each sentence is followed by four answer choices. You must choose the answer that completes the sentence is in a grammatically correct way. Written Expression: Questions This section consists of twenty- five sentences in which four words or groups of words have been underlined. You must choose the underlined word or group of words that is not correct.

STRATEGIES FOR STRUCTURE QUESTIONS First study the sentence. Your purpose is to determine what is needed to complete the sentence correctly. Then study each answer based on how well it completes the sentence. Eliminate answers that do not complete the sentence correctly. Don’t try to eliminate incorrect answers by looking only at the answers. The incorrect answers are generally correct by themselves. The incorrect answers are generally incorrect only when used to complete the sentence. Never leave any answers blank. Be sure to answer each question even if you are unsure of the correct response. Do not spend too much time on the Structure questions.

STRATEGIES FOR THE WRITTEN EXPRESSION QUESTIONS First look at the underlined word or groups of words. You want to see if you can spot which of the four answer choices is not correct. If you have been unable to find the error by looking only at the four underlined expressions, then read the complete sentence. Often an underlined expression is incorrect because of something in another part of the sentence. Never leave any answers blank. Be sure to answer each question even if you are unsure of the correct response.

You must choose the best answer to each question from the four choices in your test book. Part C consists of three talks, each followed by a number of questions.
