Frequently asked

The most asked TOEIC questions

What is TOEIC Listening & Reading?+
TOEIC L&R is the global standard for workplace-English certification, administered by ETS. It's a 200-question, 2-hour paper-based or computer-based test scored on a 10–990 scale. Companies in Japan, Korea, France and Latin America use it widely for hiring, promotion and international assignment decisions.
How is the test structured?+
Two equally-weighted sections. Listening (100 questions, 45 minutes): photographs, question-response, conversations and short talks. Reading (100 questions, 75 minutes): incomplete sentences, text completion and reading comprehension. Each section is scored 5–495; total 10–990.
What score do employers expect?+
It varies by industry and country, but common benchmarks: 600+ for international business roles, 700+ for management positions, 800+ for English-essential roles in Japanese/Korean firms. Some Japanese companies require 730+ as a promotion gate.
How is TOEIC L&R different from IELTS or TOEFL?+
TOEIC focuses on workplace and business English (meetings, email, presentations), while IELTS and TOEFL test academic English. TOEIC has no writing or speaking section in the L&R version (that's a separate TOEIC Speaking & Writing test). For most corporate hiring decisions, the L&R score is what matters.
How long is a TOEIC score valid?+
TOEIC scores are valid for 2 years. After that, you typically need to retake. Companies in Japan often request a score from within the last 12-18 months.
How do your mocks help?+
Full 200-question mocks across both sections in the exact TOEIC format and timing, with native-voice listening at exam pace, business-context reading passages, and per-section score projection on the 10-990 scale.
