How Long Did It Take You?
The official TOEFL Listening section gives you limited time — you’ve got to think fast, focus hard, and keep moving.
💡 If you took all 15 minutes, you may be second-guessing or reading too slowly. That’s okay — it just means you need more structure and training.
⏱️ Ideally, you should complete this in 12 minutes — giving yourself 3 minutes at the end to check answers and calm your nerves.
If time pressure is a problem, don’t leave it up to luck. Get strategy and feedback from someone who’s done this hundreds of times.
