Below each sentence are four words or phrases related to vocabulary, lexical derivatives, and grammatical points. Your job is to decide which of these four choices makes a complete, grammatical, and logical sentence when it is put into the gap. You should begin by reading each item and use the context of the sentence to choose the correct answer choice. Also, you should look for any grammar clues that can help you eliminate distractors. You should not spend too much time on any item as you only have 15 minutes for 30 items. Finally, you may put a mark next to the items that you have found difficult so that you can come back to them if you have some time left Part 6 * Text Completion This part consists of four short reading passages with 4 gaps.in each one. Below the passage, four answer choices for each gap are|provided for test takers to decide which of these can be used to complete the passage grammatically, lexically, or meaningfully. In general, the testing points in Part 6 are the same as those in Part 5, except that they occur in passages, not sentences. Similar to doing Part 5, you should begin iby skiraming through the passage | quickly. Then, you have to look at each gap and try to find the best item in the | four answer choices given, Note that each gap in the passage requires you to | read carefully to be able to choose the correct answer. You have no more than 5 | minutes for one passage, so remember not to spend too much time working on | any one item, Part 7 * Reading Comprehension Part 7 is the longest part of the test with 54 questions in total. For the updated TOEIC version, there are 10 single passages and 5 sets of double or triple passages. Your job is to choose the correct answer to each question by reading the information in the related passages and then mark the corresponding letters on your answer sheet.+ Single passages There are 29 questions on 10 reading passages, each of which is followed by 2-4 questions. These passages involve a wide variety of topic areas such as business letters, forms, advertisements, text messages, and online chat messages. * Multiple passages There are 25 questions on five sets of paired passages or triple passages with 5 questions per set. You are tested on comprehending the related passages, for example a business letter and an email, an article and a letter; an advertisement, a form and an announcement, or a web page, an email and a schedule. Some questions refer to only one reading passage, but some require you to read the two or three passages given to be able to choose the correct answers. You must be very careful in doing Part 7. For single passages, you first look at the text quickly to have a general idea of what it is about. Then, you should read the questions about it and scan the text for the answers to the questions you have just read. For multiple passages, you can apply similar strategies except for the fact that you must read the two or three passages. If you are unsure of any answer, eliminate the answer choices that are clearly wrong and then guess at the remaining one. Do not spend too much time on any one item; you can hopefully come back to [t if you still have time. 015Before you start learning ABC TOEIC Reading Comprehension, try to do this short test to see how many basic vocabulary items and grammar points of English you have known.
