Questions/Responses
Format
------
This part of TOEIC consists of thirty Each item consists of a question on the audio program followed by three possible responses (answers) to the question, also on the audio Your job is to decide which of these three best answers the Between each item is a five-second Part II problems do not involve any reading skills; therefore, this part is considered a "pure" test of listening Your test book simply tells you to mark an answer for each
Tactics
-------

Try to eliminate
Don't mark an answer until you have heard all three When you hear a response that you think is correct, rest your pencil on that oval on the answer If you change your mind and hear a response that you think is better, move your pencil to that Once you have heard all three responses, mark the oval that your pencil is resting (This technique helps you remember which choice you think is )
If you hear all three responses and none of the three seems correct, take a guess and get ready for the next
There is very little time (only five seconds) between items in Part You need to decide on an answer and fill in the blank quickly to be ready for the next
