Try these sample questions to review concepts for the TOEIC Bridge L&R exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Listening Part 1 (Four Pictures): You see a picture of a woman drinking from a cup at a table. You hear four statements. Which one best describes the picture?
A.She is reading a newspaper.
B.She is opening a window.
C.She is drinking from a cup.
D.She is washing the dishes.
Explanation: In Part 1, four short statements are spoken and you choose the one that matches the picture. A woman holding a cup to her mouth is best described as 'She is drinking from a cup.' The present continuous (is + -ing) describes an action happening now.
2Listening Part 1 (Four Pictures): The picture shows two boys sitting on a bench looking at books. Which statement best describes the picture?
A.The boys are running.
B.The boys are reading.
C.The boys are eating.
D.The boys are sleeping.
Explanation: This matches an official ETS sample. Two boys looking at books are best described as 'The boys are reading.' Choose the verb that matches the action you can see in the picture.
3Listening Part 1 (Four Pictures): The picture shows a man washing a car with a sponge. Which statement best describes the picture?
A.He is cleaning the carpet.
B.He is driving a truck.
C.He is opening the door.
D.He is washing a car.
Explanation: This matches an official ETS sample. A man with a sponge on a car is 'He is washing a car.' In Part 1 you must listen for the verb and the object that match exactly what you see.
4Listening Part 1 (Four Pictures): The picture shows several cows standing in a green field. Which statement best describes the picture?
A.These are farms.
B.These are cows.
C.These are horses.
D.These are houses.
Explanation: This matches an official ETS sample. Animals with horns standing in a field are 'These are cows.' Part 1 often tests common everyday nouns, so learn the names of animals, places, and objects.
5Listening Part 1 (Four Pictures): The picture shows a woman cutting fruit with a knife in a kitchen. Which statement best describes the picture?
A.She's setting the table.
B.She's cutting up fruit.
C.She's buying vegetables.
D.She's washing her hands.
Explanation: This matches an official ETS sample. A woman using a knife on fruit is best described as 'She's cutting up fruit.' The phrasal verb 'cut up' means to cut something into smaller pieces.
6Listening Part 1 (Four Pictures): The picture shows a tall man wearing a cap among a group of people. Which statement best describes the picture?
A.The children are riding bicycles.
B.The workers are painting a wall.
C.The tallest man is wearing a cap.
D.The shortest woman is holding a bag.
Explanation: This matches an official ETS sample. The statement must match the person and the action: 'The tallest man is wearing a cap.' Superlatives like 'tallest' help you pick the right person in a group picture.
7Listening Part 2 (Question-Response): You hear: 'What are you doing after dinner?' Choose the best response.
A.On the table.
B.Studying.
C.Yes, I am.
D.A large pizza.
Explanation: This matches an official ETS sample. 'What are you doing?' asks about an activity, so 'Studying' is the natural answer. In Part 2, match the type of answer to the question word ('what doing' = an activity).
8Listening Part 2 (Question-Response): You hear: 'When does this train leave?' Choose the best response.
A.The next stop.
B.By bus.
C.At 2:05.
D.A ticket.
Explanation: This matches an official ETS sample. 'When' asks about time, so 'At 2:05' is correct. A 'when' question must be answered with a time expression.
9Listening Part 2 (Question-Response): You hear: 'Mary doesn't wear glasses, does she?' Choose the best response.
A.No, it's made of plastic.
B.Yes, please.
C.The class is in Room 4.
D.No, she doesn't need them.
Explanation: This matches an official ETS sample. The tag question 'does she?' expects a short answer about Mary, so 'No, she doesn't need them' fits. Tag questions are answered like yes/no questions plus a short reason.
10Listening Part 2 (Question-Response): You hear: 'Did you see that history program on TV last night?' Choose the best response.
A.Yes, there was.
B.It's on Green Street.
C.No, I was busy.
D.Maybe I'll meet him tomorrow.
Explanation: This matches an official ETS sample. 'Did you see...?' is a yes/no question about the past, so 'No, I was busy' answers it correctly and gives a reason. Listen for the auxiliary verb 'did' to know the question is about the past.

TOEIC Bridge L&R: Suggested Study Strategy

1Build everyday and basic workplace vocabulary, such as food, travel, shopping, office, and appointment words, since most questions use simple real-life topics.
2Practice listening to short, slow English audio like announcements, voicemails, and simple conversations, and focus on catching numbers, times, and places.
3In Question-Response items, match the question word (who, what, when, where, why, how) to the type of answer it needs.
4For Sentence Completion, review basic grammar: verb tenses, prepositions, comparatives, and common phrases like 'one of' and 'too...to'.
5In Reading Comprehension, scan short notices, emails, and ads for the specific detail the question asks about, such as a date, price, or instruction.
6Always answer every question, because there is no penalty for wrong answers, so guessing can only help your score.
