What is the TOEIC test?

TOEIC is the world’s most widely used English test for the workplace, taken by around seven million people a year. Unlike IELTS or Cambridge exams, it is not designed for university admission — it measures how well you can use English in a professional environment, and it is employers, not universities, who ask for it.

The Listening and Reading test has 200 multiple-choice questions in two hours and is scored from 10 to 990, with Listening and Reading each contributing between 5 and 495. There is no pass or fail: your employer or the role sets the score you need.

What this practice test covers

Thirty-two questions across the four main task types: question-response (choosing the natural reply to a workplace question), conversations and talks (meetings, announcements, voicemails), incomplete sentences (grammar, prepositions and business vocabulary) and text completion and reading comprehension (emails, memos, notices and policies).

The photograph task from Part 1 is not included, because it depends on images. It is also the easiest part of the real test for most candidates, so its absence does not distort your estimate much.

How your estimated score works

Your accuracy maps onto the official 10–990 scale and its recognised proficiency bands:

860–990International professional proficiency · effective in any work context
730–855Working proficiency plus · the most commonly required band
470–725Limited working proficiency · adequate for routine tasks
Below 470Elementary proficiency · below most employer requirements

What score do employers actually ask for?

It depends heavily on the sector and country. As a rough guide, many international companies set 730 as the threshold for roles involving regular English communication, and 800 or above for client-facing and management positions. In Japan and South Korea, where TOEIC is most established, published corporate thresholds are common and often decide promotions. Airlines, hotels and multinationals frequently specify a number in the job advert — check it before you book.

How to improve fastest

TOEIC rewards familiarity with workplace situations more than academic vocabulary. The fastest gains usually come from the Reading section: learn the prepositions and verb patterns that recur constantly (result in, accompanied by, comply with) and practise skimming emails and notices for the single piece of information a question asks for. For the question-and-response items, it pays to recognise the type of question — who, why, where, how long — and rejecting answers that repeat words from the prompt.

Frequently asked questions

No. This is an independent practice test built by Quizinq for study purposes. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by ETS, which owns and administers TOEIC. The official test must be booked through an authorised test centre.

No. TOEIC gives a score from 10 to 990 and it is up to the employer or institution to decide what they require. Many international companies use 730 as a working threshold and 800+ for client-facing roles.

Part 1 of the real test asks you to choose the statement that best describes a photograph, which cannot be reproduced in a text-only format. It is also the part most candidates find easiest, so leaving it out has limited effect on your estimate.

TOEIC measures workplace English and is used by employers; IELTS measures academic and general English and is used mainly by universities and immigration authorities. If a university is asking, you almost certainly need IELTS, not TOEIC. See all our quizzes.

ETS reports scores as valid for two years, and most employers apply that rule. Some companies retest staff periodically regardless.
