Free TOEFL Academic Reading Practice
Practice an original academic passage with questions that test main ideas, supporting details, vocabulary in context, and logical relationships.
Read for structure before chasing individual words: identify the topic, what each paragraph contributes, and how evidence supports the author's point.
Reading strategy
Practice with a repeatable method.
Map the paragraph roles
Know which paragraph introduces, explains, contrasts, or concludes before answering detail questions.
Use context for vocabulary
Replace the target word with each option and choose the meaning that fits the sentence and paragraph.
Separate inference from guessing
A valid inference must follow from evidence in the passage, not outside knowledge.
How the task works
Read an academic passage for structure and evidence.
Academic Reading asks you to understand a passage rather than memorize facts. Strong answers come from locating evidence, following paragraph structure, and interpreting words in their local context.
