Test Strategy & Time Management
TOEIC time management — the hidden skill
Most candidates who score below their ability level don't fail because of English — they fail because of time. The TOEIC Listening & Reading test gives you 75 minutes for 100 reading questions. That's 45 seconds per question. Knowing where to spend time and where to save it is worth 50-100 points.
Listening section — 45 minutes, 100 questions
You hear each question only once. If you're unsure, pick your best guess immediately and move on. Never dwell on a listening question — it's gone.
While the audio plays the instructions for each set, read the next questions. You'll know what to listen for before the conversation starts. This is the single biggest time-saver.
Reading section — 75 minutes, 100 questions
These are grammar/vocabulary questions. You either know the answer or you don't. Spend 15-20 seconds each. If unsure, mark your best guess and move on. Save your time for Part 7.
This is where your time goes. Single passages: 2-3 min each. Double passages: 3-4 min. Triple passages: 4-5 min. Start from the beginning — don't skip to double passages.
The 750+ strategy
For a 750+ score, you need roughly 80% correct. That means you can afford to get ~40 questions wrong. Don't waste 3 minutes on one hard question when you could answer 3 easy ones in the same time. Guess, mark, move on.
Common mistake
French speakers spend too long on Parts 5-6 because they want to "understand" the grammar rule before answering. On the TOEIC, you don't need to understand — you need to recognise the correct pattern. If "has been" sounds right after "since 2019," pick it. Analyse later.
