July 11, 2008, Newsletter Issue #196: TOEFL - The reading part

Tip of the Week

Of the four scored sections on the TOEFL--Listening, Structure, Reading, and Writing--only the Reading section is scored in a "traditional" way. In the Reading section, all the questions receive equal weight, and you may go back to previous questions and change your answer.

What this means is that you want to take full advantage of your ability to skip around on the test by reading the questions before you read the passage. That way, youŽll already have some idea of what the passage is about before you start to read it. YouŽll also have a better idea of what youŽll need to pay attention to in the passage and what you wonŽt need to know.
