To achieve a high score, students need to master effective reading methods and have an appropriate reading speed. However, it is not always necessary to read quickly to achieve a high score. Sometimes, a slower reading speed also helps candidates understand each detail in the reading passage better, and at the same time helps avoid confusion and errors when answering questions.

In addition, reading speed also depends on the difficulty of the reading. Therefore, candidates need to adjust their reading speed to match the difficulty of the reading. This helps candidates read and understand the reading effectively.

To improve reading speed, candidates can practice reading different reading passages and use reading methods such as Skimming, Scanning, Reading for detail and Predicting content to improve reading comprehension.

There are 4 aspects to improve reading speed for the TOEIC Reading test:

1. Preparatory reading speed

This reading speed is used to prepare before starting to read the passage. Learners need to quickly read through the first paragraph of the reading passage to get an overview of the topic, the whole reading passage and specialized vocabulary, helping to prepare mentally and grasp the content of the reading passage before starting to read in detail.

2. Reading speed to find details

Reading speed to find specific details is suitable for questions that require finding precise information such as nouns, numbers or location information in the reading passage.

3. Reading speed to understand the main idea

Reading speed to understand the main idea of ​​the reading passage is suitable for questions that require giving the main idea of ​​the reading passage or an overview of the content of the passage. To achieve this reading speed, candidates need to use the Skimming reading method, which is to read quickly through the reading passage to get an overview of the reading passage content.

4. Reading speed to understand the information clearly.

At this speed, learners are required to have a deep understanding of the reading passage content. To achieve this reading speed, candidates need to read each word and each paragraph slowly, read carefully and concentrate to deeply understand the content and meaning of each sentence and paragraph.
