Frequently Asked Questions

The TOEIC Bridge Listening & Reading Tests measure two English-language skills, listening and reading, for beginning to lower-intermediate learners. There are 100 questions to answer in approximately one hour in Listening (approximately 25 minutes, 50 questions) and Reading (35 minutes, 50 questions). The tests use optically-scanned answer sheets.
