Introduction

About the TOEFL iBT ® Test   The TOEFL iBT   test measures your ability to use and understand the English language as it is read, heard, spoken, and written in the university classroom. More than 9,000 universities, agencies, and other institutions in more than 130 countries accept TOEFL  scores as part of their admissions criteria, making the TOEFL iBT  test the most widely respected English-language test in the world.   Each TOEFL iBT   test contains four sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. The questions in these sections measure how well you  read, listen, speak, and write in English. They also measure how well you use these skills together, so in some cases you will be asked to integrate your skills. For example, you may read a passage or listen to a lecture, and then write or speak about what you learned. Here are brief descriptions of each section, including what the section measures and the types of questions it contains. ®

Reading Section This section measures your ability to understand academic passages in English. The passages are excerpts from university-level textbooks and similar academic materials. You do not need any background knowledge about the topics contained in the passages in order to successfully answer the questions. All the information you need to answer the questions can be found in the passages. The questions cover your ability to find and understand basic information, make inferences, and read to learn. Here are the types of Reading questions, with an explanation of each type:

These questions ask you to identify fa ctual information that was explicitly stated in the pass age.

Negative Factual Information Questions

These questions ask you to distinguish information that is true from information that is not true or not included in the passage.

Inference Questions

These questions ask about information that is implied but not explicitly stated in the passage.

Rhetorical Purpose Questions

These questions ask about the rhetorical function of specific information presented in a passage. These questions ask why  the author mentioned or included a specific piece of information in the passage.

Vocabulary Questions

These questions ask you to identify the meanings of individual words or phrases as they are used in the passage .
