Structure
W
hen you communicate in writing, you make a per-
manent impression. When you talk, you may abbre-
viate words, leave sentences unfinished, or use
informal words and phrases, but when you write, you must fol-
low the grammatical constructions of formal English. Admis-
sions officers will want to know if you have the ability to express
yourself clearly and correctly in written English—an essential skill
in college. The structure section of the TOEFL exam measures
your knowledge of English grammar and style. It presents you
with sentences that you need to correct by filling in a blank or
by identifying a grammatical error. The sentences will cover top-
ics similar to those in college courses like history, biology, soci-
ology, and art. However, you do not need to have specific
knowledge of these topics to answer the questions in the struc-
ture test.
