But if you have taken coaching from one of the top TOEFL Coaching institutes like Canamprep, which follows a student-centric approach to help students achieve outstanding scores, then cracking the TOEFL exam's reading module will be a cakewalk for you.

How to Improve TOEFL Reading Test Scores?

Dreading the TOEFL Reading section? Don't worry, you are not alone. The TOEFL exam is challenging, but it is not tough enough for you to worry as if there's no tomorrow. You can glide through the process with some practice, expert guidance, and useful tips. However, you have to cram the format and types of questions that usually come in the exam.

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.

So, to cope with the shortage of time, you have to improve your reading speed to answer every question. You will also be required to save some time for revision. Therefore, Reading English literature, newspapers, magazines, and TOEFL-style academic passages is the best way to increase your speed.

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.
