TOEIC Listening&Reading Test Updated!

Momo Sensei

Hi Students!

Educational Testing Service (ETS), the creator of the 
TOEIC Program, announced updates to the format of questions used in the TOEIC  Listening and Reading test. The changes took effect beginning with the April 2018 public test administrations.

In order to present a comparison between the current and updated versions of the test, ETS has provided the following summary of the changes.

Listening Section

  • A reduced number of Photograph and Question Response questions
  • An increased number of Conversation questions
  • Conversations that include shorter turns and more exchanges
  • More than two speakers in some conversations
  • Conversations that include elisions (going to à gonna) and incomplete sentences/fragments (Yes, in a minute; Down the hall; Could you?)
  • New question types testing the connection of what is heard in a conversation or talk and what is seen in a graphic
  • New question types testing a speaker’s implied meaning in the context of a conversation or talk

Reading Section

  • A reduced number of Incomplete Sentence questions
  • Two new question-types testing understanding of the overall organization of passages:
  • Text completion questions that ask test takers to choose which new sentence fits best in the context of the overall passage
  • Set-based questions that ask test takers to understand where in the passage a sentence belongs
  • Text messages, instant messages or online chat conversations with multiple writers
  • Questions testing the understanding of three related texts
  • A small increase in the number of single- and multiple-passage questions
  • New questions about understating the writer’s words in context

Please, adjust your study including these changings and use right lesson materials to get an appropriate result on TOEIC. If you want more assistance, i kindly invite you to my TOEIC sessions>>
