1.
Be familiar with the direction . 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
2. Do not spend too much time reading the
passages! You do not have time to read
each
reading passage in depth, and it is quite possible to answer the questions
correctly
without
first reading the passages in depth. Some students prefer to spend a minute or
two
on each
passage reading for the main idea before starting on the question. Other
students
prefer to
move directly to the questions without reading the passages first.
3. Do
not worry if a reading passage is on a topic that you are unfamiliar with. All of the information that you need to answer the questions is
included in the passages. You do
not need
any background knowledge to answer the questions.
4. Never leave any answer blank on your answer
sheet. Even if you are unsure of the
correct response,
you should answer each question. There is no penalty for guessing.
