TOEFL iBT Practice Test 2
Below is a table that converts your Reading section answers into a TOEFL
iBT Reading Scaled Score. Take the number of correct answers from your Answer
Key table and find that number in the left-hand column of the table. The right-
hand column of the table gives a TOEFL iBT Reading scaled score for each num-
ber of correct answers. For example, if the total of points from your Answer Key
is 26, the table shows a scaled score of 18.
You should use your score estimate as a general guide only. Your actual score
on the TOEFL iBT test may be higher or lower than your score on the practice
version.

Narrator
Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor.
Professor
Sandy, how’s class been going for you this semester?
Female Student
[genuine enthusiasm]
Oh, it’s great. I really like your business psychology class, but I
have one major concern about the last assignment, you know—the one where we
have to interview a local business owner, uh, I mean entrepreneur?
Professor
Are you having trouble coming up with interview questions?
Female Student
Well, that’s just it. I mean, I worked on my high school newspaper for years, so I actu-
ally have great questions to ask. The thing is . . . I’m new to the area, and I don’t know
people off campus . . . So, I was wondering if . . . well, could you possibly give me the
name of someone I could interview . . . ?
Professor
You don’t know anyone who owns a business?
Female Student
Well, yeah, back home . . . my next-door neighbors—they own a shoe store, and

they’re really successful—but they’re not local.
Professor
Well, it wouldn’t be fair to the other students if I gave you the name of a
contact—but I could help you figure out a way to find someone on your own. Let’s
see . . . Do you read the local newspaper?
Female Student
Sure, whenever I have the time.
Professor
Well, the business section in the paper often has stories about local business peo-
ple who’ve been successful. If you find an article, you could call the person who is
profiled.
Female Student
You mean, just call them up . . . out of the blue . . . and ask them if they’ll talk to me?
Professor
Sure, why not?

Female Student
Well, aren’t people like that awfully busy? Too busy to talk to a random college
student.
Professor
Many people enjoy telling the story of how they got started. Remember, this is a busi-
ness psychology class, and for this assignment, I want you to get some real insight
about business owners, their personality, what drives them to become an entrepre-
neur.
Female Student
Like, how they think?
Professor
And what motivates them. Why did they start their business? I’m sure they’d talk to
you, especially if you tell them you might start a business some day.

Female Student
I’m not sure I’d have the guts to do that. Opening a business seems so risky, so scary.
Professor
Well, you can ask them if they felt that way too. Now you just need to find someone to
interview to see if your instincts are correct.

Listen again to part of the conversation.
Professor
Are you having trouble coming up with interview questions?

Well, that’s just it. I mean, I worked on my high school newspaper for years, so I actu-

Narrator
Listen to part of a lecture in an anthropology class.
Professor
OK, I, I want to begin today by talking about calendars.
[Jokingly]
I know, some of you
are thinking it’s not all that fascinating, right ? But listen, the next time you look at a
calendar, I want you to keep something in mind. There are at least three natural ways
of measuring the . . . the passage of time—by day, by month, and by year. And these
are all pretty easy to see, right? I mean, a day is based on one rotation of Earth. A
