Of course if you get extra reading you will have additional 40 minutes to finish reading 4 & 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people seem to agree that OG for Toefl is easier then the actual test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMATap Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Sorry to bother you again...... But,could you pls explain the breakup of the time for the listening section.. Just wanted a confirmation for the listening section. Abt speaking ... I know that it is timed for one question at a time. Also about writing I believe the time break up is again question wise.

For listening you have 4-6 lectures each 3-5 minutes long, 2-3 conversation 3 minutes long. For speaking each questions vary depending on the questions but the entire test is about 20 minutes. As for writing, the integrated task is 20 minutes long and independent task is 30 minutes. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMATap Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Hey, Thank you so much once again for the prompt reply. Also wanted to know whether the time restriction for the listening section is for the entire section as a whole or a per lecture criteria. I mean is it 60 minutes or so to complete the entire listening section(listening time included).... Or is it more like 5 minute to listen to lecture then maybe 5 minutes to answer questions based on that lecture only. Appreciate your time and thanks a ton !!!!

The entire listening section is 60 to 90 minutes, it is 60 if you get 4 lectures and 2 conversations, 90 minutes if you get 6 lectures and 3 conversations. This include listening and answering the questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
