    ■ As with Part IV, pay attention to the introduction. It will tell you the number of questions

    and a hint about the type of information in the passage.

    ■ As you read the passage, ask yourself, "Who is it for? Why was it written?"

    ■ First, glance quickly through the passage and read the questions. Then, go back to the passage

    and try to look for the answers to the questions.

    ■ Many answers use information that appears in the passage. However, they may not directly

    answer the question.

    ■ As with all sections of the TOEIC, watch out for similar sounding words, confusing

    numbers, wrong word forms, and words with similar meanings.

    ■ Don't be confused by questions that follow these formats:

    e.g. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the reading?

    The text refers to all of the following EXCEPT . . .

    ■ Simply read the answer choices and find the one that is unfamiliar or incorrect.
