The first questions on this section will test your English vocabulary. There are 30 academic sentences, each containing an underlined word. You must choose the word that has the same meaning from among the four choices.
Vocabulary questions are written in a formal, academic style, typical of most college or university level texts and journals. The topics of these sentences are those that a first-year college student in North America would be likely to encounter.

Others will refer to historical events and may include dates. It is important for you to understand that your knowledge of these areas is never tested on the TOEFL.
