TOEIC Writing packs 8 tasks into roughly 60 minutes, scored on a 0-200 scale. This guide breaks down the three task families (sentence from picture, email response, opinion essay), the layered 0-3 / 0-4 / 0-5 rubrics, and why typing speed on a US-English QWERTY keyboard quietly caps the scores of otherwise strong writers.
TOEIC Writing Q6 and Q7 give you 10 minutes each to reply to a business email containing at least two requests. This guide breaks down the 0-4 rubric emphasizing sentence variety and register, how to spot hidden second requests, and the salutation/sign-off conventions that move a response from 3 to 4.
TOEIC Writing Questions 1-5 give you 8 minutes to write five sentences, each describing a photograph using two mandatory keywords. This guide breaks down the 0-3 rubric, the three common keyword-integration traps, verb-tense safety defaults, and why short clean sentences beat ambitious ones.
TOEIC Part 1 is the easiest section on the test — 6 photo descriptions with one correct spoken statement each. But candidates consistently lose points to three distractor families: similar-sound traps, half-right descriptions, and voice/tense errors. This guide walks through the format, each trap type with concrete examples, and the 30-second photo-scan habit that turns Part 1 into a reliable 6-for-6 section.
TOEIC Part 2 gives you 25 questions or statements and three spoken responses — nothing printed. This guide walks through the five question types (WH, yes/no, choice, tag, indirect statements), the three distractor families (same-word, similar-sound, wrong-tense), and the reflex-listening habits that turn Part 2 from a guessing game into consistent accuracy.
TOEIC Part 3 accounts for 39 of 100 Listening questions — the highest-volume section on the test. This guide breaks down the five question types (main purpose, detail, action, inference, graphic integration), the 3-speaker challenge, and the 8-second question-preview habit that turns multi-question sets from a guessing game into systematic accuracy.
TOEIC Part 4 is where perfect-Listening candidates separate from mid-scorers. 10 single-speaker talks, 30 questions, and six recognizable genres — phone messages, announcements, broadcasts, ads, tours, and podcasts. This guide shows how to identify the genre in the first 10 seconds, anticipate the question shape, and systematically eliminate distractors for a clean Part 4 finish.
