Based on real-life work settings, the TOEIC test consists of 200 multiple-choice questions categorised into listening comprehension and reading sections.

TOEIC test questions are based on real-life work settings in an international environment (meetings, travel, telephone conversations, etc). The TOEIC test is a paper and pencil test consisting of 200 multiple-choice questions, divided into 2 separately timed sections. Test takers respond to questions by marking one response from a choice of 4 (A, B, C, D) with a pencil on a machine-scannable answer sheet.

Section 1: Listening comprehension

    * A variety of recorded statements, questions, and short conversations in English.
    * You will answer 100 questions based on what you hear.
