Every TOEIC test is built from a small set of repeating task types: seven parts in Listening & Reading, eleven speaking and eight writing questions in Speaking & Writing, four short modules in TOEIC Link, and simpler everyday tasks in TOEIC Bridge. Knowing each format before test day means you spend your time on the questions, not the directions. Choose a test below, open any task, and try two samples with the answer explained.

How each TOEIC task works

Two worked samples of every task type, with the answer explained, audio and model answers.

Listening & Reading

The classic 200-question test across 7 parts, scored 10–990. Four listening parts, three reading parts.

listening

PhotographsPart 1

You see a photo and hear four short statements. Choose the statement that best describes the picture.
In the real test: 6 questions
Sample 1
A woman in an apron stands behind an outdoor market stall, placing baskets of apples and tomatoes on a wooden table.
The picture shows
A woman in an apron stands behind an outdoor market stall, placing baskets of apples and tomatoes on a wooden table.
Listen, then pick A, B, C or D. In the real test the four statements are only spoken; here they appear after you check your answer.
A
B
C
D
The woman is placing baskets of produce on the stall, so (A) matches. (B), (C) and (D) describe actions that aren't happening in the photo: a common Part 1 trap using words you might expect at a market.
Sample 2
Inside an office, two colleagues sit side by side at a desk looking at the same laptop screen. One is pointing at the screen; papers and a coffee cup are on the desk.
The picture shows
Inside an office, two colleagues sit side by side at a desk looking at the same laptop screen. One is pointing at the screen; papers and a coffee cup are on the desk.
Listen, then pick A, B, C or D. In the real test the four statements are only spoken; here they appear after you check your answer.
A
B
C
D
One colleague is pointing at the laptop, so (C) is correct. Part 1 rewards the statement that describes a clearly visible action: here, pointing at the screen.
listening

Question–ResponsePart 2

You hear a question or statement and three possible responses. Choose the response that fits best. (Nothing is printed in the real test: so here you listen and choose A–C, then the responses appear when you check.)
In the real test: 25 questions
Sample 1
You hear: “Where's the nearest post office?”
Listen, then pick A, B or C. In the real test the question and the three responses are only spoken; here they appear after you check your answer.
A
B
C
A “Where” question needs a location, so (B) fits. (A) answers “when” and (C) reuses the mail idea to distract you: classic Part 2 traps.
Sample 2
You hear: “Would you like me to send the report now, or after the meeting?”
Listen, then pick A, B or C. In the real test the question and the three responses are only spoken; here they appear after you check your answer.
A
B
C
This is a choice question (“now, or after?”), so it needs one of the options: (A). “Yes” (B) never answers an either-or question, and (C) is off-topic.
listening

ConversationsPart 3

You hear a conversation between two or three people, then answer questions about it. Read the questions first, then listen for the answer.
In the real test: 39 questions
Sample 1
What does the woman want to do?
AGet a full refund
BExchange the jacket for a larger size
CBuy a second jacket
DSpeak with a manager
She says “Could I exchange it for a larger size instead of a refund?”, so (B). The word “refund” appears but she explicitly rejects it, a typical distractor.
Sample 2
What will the man most likely do next?
ACancel the interview
BCall the woman on Tuesday
CEmail the details to the woman
DMove the meeting to the morning
He says “I'll email you the details and the address,” so (C). Listen for future-action phrases (“I'll…”): they usually signal the answer to a “what will … do next” question.
listening

Talks (Short Talks)Part 4

You hear a single speaker (an announcement, voicemail, advertisement or broadcast) then answer questions about it.
In the real test: 30 questions
Sample 1
Why has the express train been delayed?
ABad weather
BA staff shortage
CSignal maintenance
DAn earlier accident
The announcement says the delay is “due to signal maintenance,” so (C). Part 4 detail questions are answered by a single phrase: catch the “due to / because of” reason.
Sample 2
What should a caller with an urgent problem do?
ACall back on Monday
BPress one
CVisit the office now
DLeave a message and wait
“If you're an existing patient with an urgent problem, press one,” so (B). The other options match different callers: the trick is matching the instruction to the specific situation asked about.

Incomplete SentencesPart 5

Choose the word or phrase that best completes the sentence. Tests grammar (word form, tense, prepositions) and vocabulary.
In the real test: 30 questions
Sample 1
The new scheduling software helps staff manage their shifts more ____.
Aefficiently
Befficient
Cefficiency
Defficiencies
An adverb is needed to modify the verb “manage,” so “efficiently” (A). Part 5 word-form items hinge on what part of speech fits the slot: here, adverb, not the adjective (B) or noun (C/D).
Sample 2
Ms. Tanaka has worked at the firm ____ 2015 and now leads the design team.
Afor
Bby
Cduring
Dsince
“Since” is used with a point in time (2015) for something continuing to now; “for” needs a duration (e.g., “for eight years”). So (D). These preposition items are frequent in Part 5.
reading

Text CompletionPart 6

Fill the blanks in a short text: words, phrases, or a whole missing sentence. Read around the blank for context.
In the real test: 16 questions
Sample 1
Email
Dear Mr. Ford, Thank you for your application for the marketing position. We were impressed by your experience and would like to ____ you to an interview next week. Please reply with your availability.
Which word best fills the blank?
Ainvite
Brefuse
Cremind
Ddeliver
“Invite you to an interview” is the natural, positive collocation that fits an email impressed by the applicant, so (A). Context tone, positive here, usually rules out options like “refuse.”
Sample 2
Notice
Our office will move to the fifth floor on Friday. ____ All staff should pack personal items by Thursday evening.
Which sentence best fills the blank?
AThe elevator is out of service.
BThe move is expected to take one day.
CWe are hiring new staff.
DPlease recycle old newspapers.
Part 6 includes a “best sentence” item. (B) links the move (before) to packing by Thursday (after) and keeps the paragraph on topic. The others don't connect the surrounding sentences.
reading

Reading ComprehensionPart 7

Read a passage, or a set of two or three passages, and answer questions. The biggest part of the test; pace yourself. See our Part 7 guide for a full method.
In the real test: 54 questions
Sample 1
Passage
NOTICE: Fifth Avenue Branch The Fifth Avenue branch will be closed on Monday, July 3 for staff training. Online banking and the ATM lobby will remain available at all times. We will reopen at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, July 4. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Why will the branch be closed on July 3?
AFor a public holiday
BFor a system upgrade
CFor building repairs
DFor staff training
“closed on Monday, July 3 for staff training,” so (D). Detail questions send you to one line: scan for the keyword (here, the date) and read only around it.
Sample 2
Email
From: orders@brightoffice.com To: dparker@mail.com Subject: Your order #4471 Dear Ms. Parker, Your order of two desk lamps has shipped and should arrive by Thursday. Note that the blue lamp was out of stock, so we substituted the silver model at the same price. If you'd prefer to wait for the blue one, reply within 48 hours and we'll adjust the order.
What is one reason for the email?
ATo confirm a refund
BTo cancel the order
CTo request payment
DTo explain a product substitution
The email explains the blue lamp was out of stock and a silver one was substituted, so (D). “Purpose/reason” questions are answered by the main action of the message, not a small detail.

TOEIC task types FAQ

What is TOEIC practice by task type?
It is a way to learn the TOEIC one question format at a time. Pick a test (Listening & Reading, Speaking & Writing, TOEIC Link or TOEIC Bridge), open any task type, and try two sample questions with the answer explained, the audio, or a model response. It is the quickest way to learn what each part asks before you sit a full mock test.
What are the 7 parts of TOEIC Listening & Reading?
Listening has four parts: Part 1 Photographs (6 questions), Part 2 Question-Response (25), Part 3 Conversations (39) and Part 4 Talks (30). Reading has three: Part 5 Incomplete Sentences (30), Part 6 Text Completion (16) and Part 7 Reading Comprehension (54). That makes 200 questions, scored 10 to 990. See the Listening & Reading guide for timing and scoring.
Why are the answer choices hidden in Part 1 and Part 2?
Because they are hidden in the real test. In Photographs and Question-Response the statements are spoken, not printed, so here you listen and choose first (A to D in Part 1, A to C in Part 2). The text of each option appears when you check your answer.
How does the listening audio work?
Every listening sample has a Play audio button and a Show transcript button. Listen first, answer, then open the transcript to check exactly what you heard. If the audio cannot load on your connection, the transcript still lets you practise the question.
What are the TOEIC Speaking task types?
There are 11 Speaking questions in five task types: Read a text aloud (Q1 to 2), Describe a picture (Q3 to 4), Respond to questions (Q5 to 7), Respond using information provided (Q8 to 10) and Express an opinion (Q11). Each sample shows the preparation and speaking time used in the real test. The TOEIC Speaking guide covers how each task is scored.
Can I record my spoken answers here?
Yes. Press Record answer, allow microphone access, and speak within the time shown. You can play your recording back straight away and compare it with the model answer and tips. Task practice does not score your recording; for an AI rating on the official 0 to 200 scale, take a full Speaking practice test.
What are the TOEIC Writing task types?
There are 8 Writing questions in three task types: Write a sentence based on a picture (Q1 to 5, using two given words), Respond to a written request (Q6 to 7, an email reply) and Write an opinion essay (Q8, at least 300 words in 30 minutes). Each sample has a word counter and a model answer. For AI-rated writing, try the TOEIC Writing practice test.
What tasks are in TOEIC Link?
TOEIC Link has four short modules, Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing, each scored 0 to 25, and the whole test takes under 90 minutes. The tasks use short, practical workplace English: a conversation, a message, a spoken response and a written reply. The TOEIC Link guide explains the format in full.
What tasks are in TOEIC Bridge?
TOEIC Bridge is the beginner-friendly test. Bridge Listening has four parts (Four Pictures, Question-Response, Short Conversations and Short Talks) and Bridge Reading has three (Sentence Completion, Text Completion and Reading Comprehension), with 100 questions scored 30 to 100. Bridge Speaking and Writing use simple everyday tasks, such as describing a photo or replying to a short message. See the TOEIC Bridge guide.
Does task practice give me a TOEIC score?
No. Task practice checks each answer and explains it, but it is too short to estimate a score. For a score, take a full Listening & Reading mock (200 questions, about 2 hours, scored 10 to 990) or a 25-minute Express Mini (28 Reading questions with a projected 10 to 990 estimate).
How should I combine task practice with full mock tests?
Take a full mock or a Mini first to find your weakest part. Then come back here and drill that task type until the format feels automatic, and retest with a new mock to see if your score moves. If Part 7 is your weak spot, the Part 7 strategy guide pairs well with the samples.
Is task practice free, and do I need an account?
Task practice is free to start and works without an account, on a phone, tablet or laptop. You only sign in when you take a full test and want to see and save your score.

Task practice warms you up. When you're ready, take a full-length, timed mock and get an official-scale score with AI feedback.
