TOEFL iBT Reading Comprehension Section:
The reading section consists of 3-5 long passages and questions about the passages. The passages are on academic topics; they are the kind of material that might be found in an undergraduate university textbook. Students answer questions about main ideas, details, inferences, sentence restatements, sentence insertion, vocabulary, function and overall ideas. New types of questions in the iBT require paraphrasing, filling out tables, or completing summaries. Generally prior knowledge of the subject under discussion is not necessary to come to the correct answer, though a priori knowledge may help.
So,the reading type consists of 3-5 passages of about 700 words and 12-14 questions each. All in all, there are about 50 questions in the reading section that have to be answered in 60-100 minutes. {{{{{{ 20 minutes / passages }}}}}
