Description

The TOEIC test is a paper-and-pencil test that consists of 200 multiple-choice questions divided into two separately timed sections. Although the actual testing time is approximately two hours, examinees must complete the biographical questions on the answer sheet and respond to a brief questionnaire about their educational and work history. Therefore, you should allow approximately 2.5 hours to take the test.
