TOEFL Itp Strategies
2. Then, study each answer based on how well it completes the sentence.
Eliminate answers that do not complete the sentence correctly.

The incorrect answers are generally incorrect only when used to
complete the sentence.

Strategies for the Written Expression questions:
1. First, look at the underlined word or groups of words. You want to see
if you can spot which of the four answer choices is not correct.
2. If you have been unable to find the error by looking only at the four
underlined expressions, then read the complete sentence. Often an
underlined expression is incorrect because of something in another
part of the sentence.
Strategies for the Reading Comprehension questions:
1. Skim (read quickly) the reading passage to determine the main idea
and the overall organization of ideas in the passage. You do not need
to understand every detail in each passage to answer the questions
correctly. It is therefore a waste of time to read the passage with the
intent of understanding every single detail before you try to answer
the questions.
2. Look ahead at the questions to determine what types of questions you
must answer. Each type of question is answered in a different way.
3. Find the section of the passage that deals with each question. The
question-type tells you exactly where to look in the passage to find
correct answers:
for main idea questions, look at the first line of each paragraph.
