Format of the TOEIC Test

Questions on the TOEIC test are based on real-life work settings in an international environment (meetings, travel, telephone calls, etc). 

There are two separate parts to the TOEIC test:

• The TOEIC Listening and Reading test is paper-based, lasts approximately 2 hours and comprises 200 questions in listening comprehension and reading. Each section is scored separately on a scale ranging from 5 to 495 points. The total score possible on the test is hence between 10 and 990 points.

• The Speaking and Writing test is an online test that is taken in a test centre and takes 90 minutes.

In the TOEIC Speaking and Writing test, the two sections of the test are independent of each other and test-takers receive a separate score for each. The Speaking test measures skills such as pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar, and fluency. The Writing test assesses vocabulary and grammar, as well as coherence and organization. The tests include integrated tasks that are reflective of actual English usage in the workplace. The TOEIC Speaking test lasts approximately 20 minutes and includes 11 questions measuring different aspects of spoken English, while the TOEIC writing test lasts approximately 60 minutes and includes eight questions measuring different aspects of writing ability.
