35 seconds a question
- Language Form and Meaning gives you 25 minutes for 42 questions: about 35 seconds each. Reading gives about 70 seconds, including reading time.
- A plan turns those numbers into a habit before test day.
In Reading, about how many seconds do you have per question, including reading time?

50 minutes ÷ 42 questions ≈ 71 seconds.
Know your timing
| Section | Questions | Time | About per question |
|---|---|---|---|
| Listening | 42 | 40 min | set by the recording |
| Language Form and Meaning | 42 | 25 min | 35 s |
| Reading | 42 | 50 min | 70 s |
- In Listening the recording sets the pace. Answer each question as soon as you can, then get ready for the next talk.
In Language Form and Meaning, about how many seconds do you have per question? (Nearest whole number.)

120 ÷ 35 ≈ 3.4, so about three questions.
Every answer counts
- ETS scores are based on the number of correct answers, so a blank question earns nothing. Always choose your best answer.
- If a question is hard, remove the options you know are wrong, choose the best one left and move on. Good timing 时间安排 is a skill you can practise.
Leaving a hard question blank is safer than guessing.

A weekly plan
- Short, regular practice beats one long session. Cover all three Standard sections every week, plus Speaking and Writing if your school gives them.
- Keep a mistake log: write the question type, why you chose the wrong answer and the rule you missed.
Mon listening set (20 min) · Tue Language Form and Meaning set (15 min) · Wed reading passage + notes (25 min) · Thu record a Picture Narration (10 min) · Sat e-mail and opinion paragraph (25 min) · Sun rest, and read an English book you enjoy

Official samples first
- Start with the free ETS sample questions and the Test Taker Handbook. They show the real format, the real instructions and the real answer sheet 答题卡.
- Then use the original practice sets on this site to build each skill. Practice counts show progress; they are not ETS scores.

On test day
- For the paper Standard test: several sharpened No. 2 or HB pencils and a good eraser (no pens or coloured pencils), the consent form signed by a parent, and any ID your school asks for.
- Fill the answer circles completely and keep your place. If you skip a question, leave that line empty on the sheet too, so the next answers do not move up.
What should you use to mark the paper answer sheet?

Common mistakes
- Practising only your favourite section. All three sections count equally in the Standard total.
- Spending two minutes on one Language Form and Meaning question and then guessing the last ten.
- Leaving answers blank. A guess can be right; a blank never is.
Bring two erasers. One will roll under the desk. It always does.

Recap
- About 35 s per Language Form and Meaning question and 70 s per Reading question.
- Practise every section every week; keep a mistake log.
- Official samples first, then original practice; pencils, eraser and consent form on the day.
Write your own five-day study plan for the next week. Include every Standard section, a time for each session and one line for reviewing mistakes. Then compare with the checklist.
A useful plan practises the weakest section most, keeps every section in the week and leaves time to review mistakes.
