WHICH QUESTIONS
Which questions ask about alternative choices. It is not possible to answer these questions using yes or
no. You may find it helpful to listen for the conjunction or in the conversation to alert you to alternatives
which may be relevant for choosing the correct response.

COPYRIGHT
SAMPLE CONVERSATION 1

Man: I've been thinking of getting a new desk, and I've narrowed it down to these two in
this catalog. They are both about the same size and price, so it's hard to choose between
them.

DR. HKMET AHNER

brown one has a nice built-in pen holder, and the legs look a lot sturdier, don't they?
Man: Well, I think you've made up my mind for me. That's the one I'll order.

1. Which desk is the man going to buy?

COPYRIGHT

Correct Answers:

complained that Kenichi is not very good at tracking down payments from clients. He
also tends to be late submitting paperwork, but he always does it very thoroughly.

COPYRIGHT

choose.

STRATEGY 1

Skim the questions and answer choices and try to guess what the conversation is about
before the audio recording begins.

STRATEGY 2

DR. HKMET AHNER


While skimming the questions and answer choices, you should also pay attention to
Content Words!

In a question such as What time will the woman leave?, the key words are time, woman, and will leave.
When you listen to the conversation, you should listen for references to a woman leaving in the future. You
should also listen for any numbers you might have seen in the answer choices: four (four hours, four
o'clock); 30 (4:30, half past 4:00, 30 minutes from now, in 30 minutes); ten (in ten minutes, ten past 4:00,
4:10, etc.). By listening for the key words (time, woman, will leave) and some of the numbers (four, ten), you
will be able to focus your listening on important details.

COPYRIGHT
STRATEGY 3

You will need to do some paraphrasing and catch synonymous words in the conversation.

DR. HKMET AHNER


Words in the answer choices are often not repeated in the conversation. The speakers may use
paraphrases or synonyms. For example, in a question What time does the flight depart?, the key word flight
indicates the conversation will provide information about the time a plane takes off. Listen for that time. You
may not hear the word flight in the conversation; the speakers may use a synonym like plane. Similarly, the
speakers may say take off rather than depart.

STRATEGY 4

COPYRIGHT

Watch out for the same or similar-sounding distractors!

In this part of the test, you may often hear words in the conversation that are the same or have the same
meaning as words in the answer choices. This may cause you to choose an incorrect answer. Be careful not
to choose an answer simply because you heard something similar in the conversation.

DR. HKMET AHNER


STRATEGY 5

Use vocabulary clues to infer meaning!

73

ULTIMATE GUIDE TO TOEIC

DR. HKMET AHNER

The answers for many of the questions in this part of the test are not stated directly. You will have to listen
carefully and use your knowledge of related vocabulary and context to choose many of the answers.

COPYRIGHT
STRATEGY 6

Learn polite ways of saying no!

Being familiar with the language and organization common to negative responses can help you to choose
the correct answer.

DR. HKMET AHNER


STRATEGY 7

Pay particular attention to the first two sentences!

It is important to understand the first two sentences as these contain the answer to the first question.

COPYRIGHT
STRATEGY 8

Choose the correct number / quantity / date answer!

DR. HKMET AHNER


Numbers and quantities are a commonly tested feature in the TOEIC test. Remember that with questions
asking for number, quantity and dates you need to do a little basic math!
