TOEFL Reading Practice Test with Answers – Part 1:
1) SKIM THE PASSAGE
In the TOEFL Reading section skim the passage before reading the questions, do not read it in detail. This gives you a general idea what the passage is about without wasting time. After that read the questions carefully. Since you skimmed the passage before you know where you can find the information you. Locate the information and read this part in greater detail to answer the questions.
2) DON’T CHANGE YOUR ANSWER
After having finished the TOEFL Reading section do not go back and change an answer to a question without reading the relevant part of the passage again. You picked that answer for a reason and even if you are unsure whether it is correct do not change it without checking the passage. There is a chance that the answer is correct and thus you may change a correct answer into a wrong answer. That would be a pity!
3) DETAIL QUESTIONS
Detail questions in the TOEFL are particularly tricky! They often confuse information or change it in a slight way which makes it very difficult to recognize that. When answering a detail question make sure you read the question carefully, then go to the relevant part of the passage and pay attention to the information that is given. The information in the text must exactly match the information given in the answer you choose.
4) CHECK YOUR WATCH
In the TOEFL Reading section time management is particularly important. The texts are long and complicated and while you must read some parts in greater detail you also need to pay attention that you do not spend too much time on a question so that there is still time left for the following questions. During your preparation for the TOEFL practice time management especially for the Reading section. You should know exactly how much time you will spend on a passage.
5) CHOOSE AN ANSWER
If you do not know the answer to a question, choose an answer that you think might be correct and go on. You can always go back and change that answer, provided you have enough time to read the passage again. If you do not answer a question and if you do not have time to go back when finishing the TOEFL Reading section, you may waste points because there is always the chance that your answer is correct.
