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.
Following are directions and examples of the types of questions you will find in the Structure and Written Expression section of the TOEFL® test. There are two types of questions in this section, with special directions for each type. As you’re going through the questions, select the appropriate answer for each. When you’re finished, click “Show all answers” at the end of the page to highlight the correct answer for each question.

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.
6.      Questions in Structure have some patterns which are tested regularly.
7.      Time is essential here.
