TOEFL Reading – An Introduction

The reading section is the first part of the TOEFL test. You will read two academic articles (about 700 words each) and answer ten questions about each one. You will have 36 minutes to read the articles and answer all of the questions.

There is a single timer for the whole section. You can always move forward and backwards between both articles and all of the questions as long as time remains. There are arrows to move between questions one at a time, and a button labelled “review” to jump to specific questions. This means you can use your time however you like.

Right after your test is finished, you will see your “unofficial” TOEFL reading score.  This is reported on a scale of 0 to 30 points. The unofficial score rarely changes in the final score report.
