Strategy Of Structure For TOEFL
The Structure and Written Expression section
contains sentences that test your knowledge of important structural and
grammatical elements of standard written English. These sentences include a
variety of topics and give no particular advantage to individuals in any
specific field of study.
When topics have a national context, they refer to the United States' or Canada's history, culture, art or literature. However, you do not need to have any prior knowledge of these contexts to answer the structural or grammatical points being tested.
General Strategies:
1. Study
the sentence
Determine what is needed to
complete the sentence correctly.
2. Study
each answer based on how well it completes the sentence
Eliminate answers that do not
complete the sentence correctly.
3. Do
not try to eliminate incorrect answers by looking only at the answers
The incorrect answers are generally
incorrect only when used to complete the sentence.
4. Never leave any answers blank
5. Do
not spend too much time on the Structure questions
Be sure to leave adequate time for
the Written Expression questions.
