ABOUT TOEIC BRIDGE
The TOEIC Bridge test is an English language proficiency test for people whose native language is not English.
The TOEIC Bridge test is different from the TOEIC test. The TOEIC Bridge test was developed especially for beginning to lower-intermediate learners of English, so the TOEIC Bridge test is not as difficult as the TOEIC test.
TEST FORMAT
The TOEIC Bridge test is a one-hour multiple-choice test that consists of 100 questions divided into two sections:
- Listening: It consists of three parts and contains 50 questions. Total time: approximately 25 minutes.
- Reading section: The reading section includes two parts testing how well you understand written English. You will read a variety of materials and respond at your own pace to 50 questions based on the content of the materials provided to you. Total time: 35 minutes.
What score do I need to “pass” the TOEIC Bridge test?
The TOEIC Bridge test is not the kind of test that one “passes” or “fails.” Not every job or task requires the same level of English proficiency. The TOEIC Bridge test measures different levels of English ability or proficiency.
From what kind of contexts are the TOEIC Bridge test questions drawn?
These are some examples of the settings and situations you may find in TOEIC Bridge test questions:
- Activities: hobbies, sports, daily routines, free-time activities
- Dining out: lunches, restaurants, reservations
- Entertainment: cinema, theater, music, art, exhibitions, museums, sports, games
- Family and friends: family members, activities with friends, invitations, pets
- General business: sales, conferences, training, bills, banking, appointments, advertising
- Health: doctors, dentists, clinics, hospitals, general health and healthcare
Test Day Procedures
- Do not spend too much time on any one question.
- Mark your answers on your answer sheet and not in the test book.
- Mark only one answer for each question. If you mark more than one answer, that question will be counted wrong—even if one of the answers you marked is correct.
- You will receive credit only for answers marked in the circles on the answer sheet. You will not receive credit for answers entered in the test book. Your score will be based on the number of questions you answer correctly. There is no penalty for guessing.
- Try to answer every question to the best of your ability.
- Pay close attention to the time during the Reading section of the test. In the Reading section (35 minutes) you have to pace yourself—so work quickly and if you do not know the answer to a question, come back to it later.
- You may not use note paper.
