How to Ace TOEFL Vocabulary and Reading Comprehension Section


Previously I had posted ways to acing listening and grammar section. Now I'd like you to consider the next; i.e. vocabulary and reading comprehension section. 


For your information, there are 45 minutes to complete the 60 questions for short-form TOEFL. For the longer form, however, there are 65 minutes to solve the 90 questions (20 extra minutes with 30 extra questions). 


This section is split into two parts:
  • vocabulary (part A)
  • reading comprehension (part B)

  1. Structure (part A) : incomplete sentences (we have to choose the answer that completes each sentence properly) 
  2. Written expression (part B) : incorrect sentences (we have to choose the wrong underlined part) 
Examples:
Part A
