Improve your Reading Speed

Time is the essence of the TOEFL Reading test. Therefore, it is recommended that you distribute your time equally and practice time management in your mock tests. In the reading module, you will be given 55 plus questions for 3-4 passages. The time allotted for this module is 80 minutes. If translated into a simpler form, you will have 5 minutes to read each passage and 1 minute to answer each question.

Time yourself and Learn Specific Vocabulary

First, stay calm and avoid stressing out during the TOEFL reading exam. The next step is to train yourself to gulp down a complex passage in less than 4 minutes. Usually, test takers stress out when encountering an unfamiliar word, and they spend a lot of time trying to figure it out.

The best way to deal with this situation is to prepare for the TOEFL exam beforehand. Henceforth, Widen your vocabulary so that you know most of the words and avoid wasting time. First, train yourself to understand the word's meaning by reading the sentence.

Next, even if you still encounter an unfamiliar word, try not to dwell on it and move on, or you will not be able to complete your reading module on time.

Use the Line Numbering

As you go on reading, number every fifth line in the passage. It will help you navigate to the words or sentences quickly. You will be surprised by how much time you save using this tip.

These tips will surely give results if you learn to utilize them properly. Pair them with excellent guidance, and you are ready to conquer the TOEFL reading exam.
