Preparing to Take the TOEIC Bridge™ Test

The TOEIC Bridge test is not based on the content of a particular English course. It focuses on the test taker’s proficiency or overall ability to use English. Improvement in proficiency takes time and is generally achieved through a combination of practice and study.

Sample Questions

Sample questions are an excellent way to practice for the test and become familiar with its format. Additional information about the TOEIC Bridge test can be found in the TOEIC Bridge™ Examinee Handbook (PDF) or in the TOEIC Bridge™ Sample Test (PDF).
