There are a few common emergency situations on the TOEFL, but there\u2019s one in particular that happens during the reading section: not having enough time. If you run out of time, you lose points not because you don\u2019t understand, but because you simply don\u2019t answer questions. And that\u2019s a terrible feeling!<\/p>\n
But managing time during TOEFL reading is difficult. You will get 60 or 80 minutes to read and answer the questions on three or four texts. And because the clock isn\u2019t broken up, it\u2019s possible to accidentally spend 50 minutes on the first two texts, then have only 10 minutes for a final text and its questions. <\/span><\/p>\n In a situation like that, what do you do? You can\u2019t read the whole text then answer all the questions. If you try that, you will have only a few minutes to answer questions\u2014not enough to answer them all\u2014but it\u2019s only the <\/span>questions <\/b>that get you points. <\/span><\/p>\n So instead, you will skip directly to the questions. Start getting points fast!<\/span><\/p>\n
