TOEFL Listening

You can't see the questions as you listen.

The listening section of the iBT test comes after the reading section and has five parts. There will be two conversations and three lectures. Each conversation is followed by five questions. The conversations are mostly about topics related to campus issues like housing, the library, cafeteria, parking, etc. That’s why they are sometimes referred to as “campus questions.”  Just like reading, the lectures are taken from a variety of academic topics like the arts, life sciences, physical sciences, social sciences, etc. The lectures are followed by six questions. 

Listening Question Types

Most of the listening questions that follow the lectures and conversations are traditional multiple-choice questions with four answer choices and one correct answer. However, there are some multiple-choice questions with more than one correct answer. For example, there might be questions with five answer choices, two of which are correct answers. There are also questions that ask you to put events or process steps in order as well as to fill in table questions that we have looked at in the reading section of the test.
