General Strategies. The second section of the TOEFL is the Structure and Written Expression Section. This section consists of 40 questions (some tests may be longer). You have 25 minutes to complete the 40 questions in this section.
There are two types of questions in the structure and written expression section of the TOEFL:
1. Structure (questions 1-15) consists of 15 sentences in which part has been replaced with a blank. Each sentence is followed by four answer choices. You must choose the answer that completes the sentence in a grammatically correct way.
2. Written Expression (questions 16-40) consists of 25 sentences in which four words or groups of words have been underlined. You must choose the underlined word for group of words that is not correct.
General Strategies Structure and Written Expression of TOEFL are as following:
1. Make the best use of your time. Because you must complete 40 questions in 25 minutes (on a standard test). You have only slightly more than 30 seconds per question. You must therefore work quickly and efficiently through this section of the test.
2. Begin with questions 1 through 15. Anticipate that questions 1 through 5 will be rather easy. Anticipate the questions 11 through 15 will be rather difficult. Do not spend too much time on questions 11 through 15. There will be easier questions that come later.
3. Continue with questions 16 through 40. Anticipate that questions 16 through 20 will be rather easy. Anticipate that questions 36 through 40 will be rather difficult. Do not spend to much time on questions 36 through 40.
4. If you have time, return to questions 11 through 15. You should spend extra time on questions 11 through 15 only after you spend at the time you want on the easier questions.
5. Do not have any questions blank on your answer sheet. Even if a question is very difficult. You should answer the questions. There is no penalty for guessing.
