The same time limits are given for each section of the practice test as on the real test - 45 minutes for Listening Comprehension (Parts I - IV) and 75 minutes for Reading (Parts V - VII), with no break in between. Students will then be given a TOEIC score after their tests are marked. Tape scripts will be handed out and answers will be discussed in class.
