FYI
The examples I use in the video are made up by me.
1) Detail Questions
Detail questions ask you about key facts in the passage. Usually, the correct answer is paraphrased. This means that the answer does not contain the same words that you can find in the passage. Instead, the answer uses different words but has the same meaning. You must know that the correct answer may be paraphrased because this is important regarding the strategy that you have to use for this question type in TOEFL Reading.
Strategy: Search for the Key Fact
First, read each answer and make sure that you understand the meaning. After that go back to the passage and check which of the information given in the answers you can find in the passage. If you cannot find the information, the answer is wrong. If you can find it, the answer is correct. Pay attention if an answer uses the same words that appear in the passage. Sometimes these answers change the meaning and are therefore wrong.
2) NOT/EXCEPT Questions
You will immediately recognize NOT/EXCEPT questions in TOEFL Reading because of the capital letters. If you have to answer such a question, you must choose the answer that is not true or that is not mentioned in the passage. In essence, you can use the same strategy as for detail questions. It just works the other way round.
Strategy: Eliminate Wrong Answers
You solve this question type by elimination. First, read each answer and make sure that you understand the meaning. After that go back to the passage and check which of the information given in the answers you can find in the passage. If you can find the information in the passage, the answer is wrong. If you cannot find it, the answer is correct.
3) Vocabulary Questions
There are two types of vocabulary questions in TOEFL Reading. Type 1 asks you: What does this word mean? Type 2 asks you: What does this word refer to?
Strategy 1: Insert each Answer
Type 1 questions are either very easy or difficult. They are very easy if you know the meaning of the word. In this case you choose the correct answer and go on. If you have absolutely no idea what this word means, do not give up. You can figure this out if you have a closer look at the passage. Read the relevant part in the passage and understand the context in which the word appears. Then replace the relevant word with every answer and ask yourself: Does this make sense? If it does not make sense, the answer is wrong. If it does, check the remaining answers and choose the one that you think fits best.
Strategy 2: Make the Reference Check
To solve type 2 questions read the relevant part of the passage, then have a look at the answer again and ask yourself: If the word refers to that word, does this make sense? If it does not make sense, the answer is wrong. If it does make sense, check the remaining answers and choose the one that you think fits best.

@@mariacamilavacagomez2713 I noted your wish :).
Juva can you please make a video about a question in the reading section that says "Which sentences can we add or put into the given paragraph" something like that in the mock tests. Thank you so much for your efforts🙏
@@ED_92 Hi Esraa, have a look at my TOEFL Reading playlist, I cover this question in one of the videos :)
I love the way you teach Juva! such a great teacher!

Hello Juva, your videos are great!.. Could you make a video about the equipment requirement testing with proctor. Please.
Hello Jorge, thank you so much, I'm so glad you like them! I noted your wish. If you like, have a look at my video about the TOEFL Home Edition. In this video I show you how you can test your equipment with ProctorU. However, some things may have changed, so you may want to have a look at their website too. Hope this helps :)
This is sooooooooooooooooo helpful and easy, I am speachless 💓💓💓
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your videos! I took my test a few weeks ago and scored 111!!

Thank you
I'm so glad you like it!
Thanks so much ma, you are a great teacher, I really enjoy all your videos.
I'm Excel. I would like to make a video request.
Can you make a detailed video on how to appropriately skim any passage(TOEFL) ?
This will help us to learn how to extract the main information in a passage and answer questions quickly and accurately.
This is very important to me, and I would love if you can make a video on it.
It would be of great help to students.
Hi Excel, I'm so glad you like the videos! I noted your wish :).
Hlo juvaa.... Its nyc video... Plz prepare a video for reading introductory sentence questions
Hi, I noted your wish :).
Hi, Juva, thanks a lot for your helpful videos; I have a question not related to English., What program do you use to make videos? Generally, I mean add text and emoji to videos?
Hi Amine, I use Videoscribe :)
3 question types OR 3 types of questions?! the former is not common at least for native us speakers! btw you're a great presenter ! Thanks :)
Thank you! 3 question types 😃
Hello Juva! First I want to say thank you for your courses, it is really helpful.
I just want to know whether or not we are required, in the testing center, to work with a QWERTY keyboard for the writing section- I am too worried about it as I have always worked with an AZERTY one.
Hi Khaoula, I'm so glad the videos are helpful to you :). I assume that this may depend on the test center. Therefore, I'd recommend contacting your test center and asking them. You're totally right, it's important to know that because typing on a keyboard you are not used to may be difficult.
@@juva Thank you a lot. In my country, we usually use the AZERTY keyboard; I will contact the test center to be sure.
@@khaoulaachab6983 You're most welcome!
Only and solely have almost same meaning. Why did you pick only instead ? (Thank you for the videos
I'm so glad you like the videos
I uad the same question in my mind, thank u so much Kenza for asking and thank u so much Juva for answering 🤩👌💟🍁😘
I love you🥺
Haha, I'm flattered 😀.
Hi juva i need more vidéo about speaking task
Hi Mohamed, I noted your wish :)
Hi Juva! Your videos are amazing! I really appreciate you for your extreme efforts in making these videos that are so easy to understand for everyone around the world ❤️ I have a question here - in previous video, you asked us to skim the passage before starting with questions. In this video, you started directly with questions I believe! Please suggest how shall we start with the passages. Is it okay to skip the first read? And directly start with questions?
Hi, I'm so glad you like it 😀. It's up to you. Some people like to skim the passage before they start reading the questions, so they get an overview. Others prefer starting with the questions. I would recommend starting immediately with the questions and then looking for the information in the passage. I hope this helps!
@@juva Thankyou for suggestion! I will try both the ways and analyse which one I’m performing better in! Again, I really appreciate your efforts❤️ Thankyou!
Hi Juva! I'm from Brazil. I love watching your videos. I have a question. Should we first skimm all the passages or go straight to the questions?
Hi Josimo, I'm so glad you like the videos 😀. I recommend this: Read the questions first and then have a look at the passage and search for the information you need. This will help you answer the questions correctly without wasting time.
Someone told me that you can’t skip the passage and go straight to the questions, cuz you must need to read the passage before, is that true?
@@andreaceballosgomez7741 Sure, you can start with reading the questions. In fact, I recommend this: go directly to the question, read it closely and then have a look at the passage and search for the correct answer. If you read the passage first, you will waste so much time because you don't know what the questions are about, so you don't know what you need to look for in the passage.
@@juva thank you so much!:)
juva please make a video about speaking in toefl how answer the question
Hi, have a look at the TOEFL Speaking playlist. You can find an example for task 1 there.
@@juva can i see the notes and speak in speaking section in toefl home edition
Hello Juva, I am so happy that I have found your videos. Unfortunately, I failed in my reading section twice I got so low 10 ,and 12 the recent. I have 4 passages and 40 questions there. I was full of confidence that answers are really obvious. I've seen more traps in the questions, I dont know if will take the test again.pls help me.
Hi :) First of all, congratulations on taking the TOEFL! The TOEFL is a challenge and you did it, that's amazing. No worries, you can improve your TOEFL Reading score if you find out where the problem is. Think about it: Do you have problems with certain question types, or do you find it difficult to answer all the questions on time? Have a look at my TOEFL Reading playlist and pick the videos you need. If you have any questions, put them in the comments, I'll be happy to answer them :).
Me too Got 11/30 I was sad, I am doing it again.
@@deborahkashhello their just wanted did you given another attempt and what was the score?
Are we allowed to have handkerchiefs on our desk during the test? Thanks in advance!!
I don't see why you should not be allowed to do that. I'd recommend asking the proctor before you start the TOEFL test just to be sure. Hope this helps :)
In the vocabulary question why solely is incorrect isn’t it the same meaning as only?
Excellent question! It's quite similar. However, have a look at the question, it asks you which word is closest in meaning and that's why 'only' is the correct answer.
Quick Question: Are you allowed to use two minotrs??? Because my computer is setup with 2 monitors..
Excellent question! As far as I can see ETS don't refer to that on their website. I'd recommend contacting and asking them before you take your TOEFL. Hope this helps :)
Hi, Juva I want to ask that sometimes i feel the vocabulary questions aren't corresponding the context but instead toefl is just testing the worf itself, so is that true?
Hi :) If you get a vocabulary question, you can find the word in the passage. It makes sense to have a look at the context because this gives you a hint what the word might mean. Hope this helps!
thank you really much!
After i reported the scores in the ets browser.....the browser closed automatically after that and the proctor disconnected amd said that my exam is complete.....so is my test completed??? When will i get confirmation mail from ETS?
As far as I remember you don't get a confirmation email from ETS. You will have to wait until your TOEFL scores are ready.
Hi Juva, it seems that there is a revision in the test pattern since 2019. Does your channel follow the new pattern ? also can you please make a video on what the change was exactly?
Hi Kushagra, my channel follows the current pattern, I took the TOEFL in 2020. I noted your wish :).
@@juva thank you.. appreciate the response!
@@kushagrasinha78 You're most welcome!
Will they mention the passage number (1,2,3...) in questions like ''Which of the following is a logical conclusion based on the information that is provided within the passage?''
Thanks for the video! :)
I'm so glad you like it :). Usually, you will get a hint where you can find the information in the passage. Have a look at the free ETS Reading practice test, it shows you what TOEFL Reading will look like.
@@juva Gracias!
@@amnamanzoor6872 Con mucho gusto :)
Hi Juva.......i finished my toefl home edition test today......how do i know whether the test is submitted to ets or not?......how can i confirm whether i completed the test?
After you have clicked on report your scores, the test should be complete. You will be notified by ETS when your scores are ready.
Explanation is good, but pay attention to pronunciation, "minor"
I'm so glad you like it 😀. Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it.
Juva hi!! Are these the only questions types in a TOEFL test ?
Hi Gloria :) There are more question types in TOEFL Reading. Have a look at my TOEFL Reading playlist - you can find videos for all questions types there. Hope this helps!
Hey Juva
Is there any chances that REAL TOEFL test repeats some passages in The Official TOEFL books
Thanks.
Hey Ndume, I assume that's highly unlikely.
What happens when they ask about this type of question in the complete text?
I mean... how's the strategy?
I'm not sure which question you mean. Could you specify that please?
In the TOEFL exam there are two reading passages right?
TOEFL Reading consist of 3 or 4 passages, depending on whether you get an experimental passage or not.
How do I take a practise test to get an estimated score?
You can find free practice tests on the ETS website. They come with solutions, this should enable you to get a rough estimate of your potential TOEFL score.
Please can you share and solve all reading questions types by using your own methods
I noted your wish :).
