Free TOEIC Part 6 Practice Questions (Text Completion)

TOEIC Part 6 (Text Completion) is 16 questions spread across four short business texts — usually four blanks per text. It looks like Part 5 with a passage attached, and that is the trap: in Part 6 at least one blank per text can only be solved by reading the sentences around it.

Each text below is complete, so you can practise the thing that actually decides the mark: reading forward before choosing.

Key Takeaways

• Part 6 is 16 questions across four texts — the smallest part of the Reading section.
• One item per text is typically a full sentence insertion. Grammar alone cannot solve it; you need the logic of the paragraph.
• Tense and pronoun items depend on information in a different sentence. Never choose from the blank line alone.
• Transition words (however, therefore, in addition, meanwhile) are tested constantly. Decide the relationship between the two sentences first, then pick the word.
• Budget about 8–9 minutes for all four texts, leaving the bulk of the 75-minute Reading block for Part 7.

How to work a Part 6 text

1. Read the whole text once at speed before answering anything. Part 6 punishes blank-by-blank reading.
2. Answer the easy word-form and collocation blanks first, then come back to the sentence insertion — by then you know the paragraph.
3. For the sentence insertion, read the sentence after the blank. The correct insertion almost always sets up what follows.
4. For transitions, name the relationship — contrast, cause, addition, sequence — then pick the word that matches it.

FAQ

How many questions are in TOEIC Part 6?

16, across four short texts. It is the smallest of the three Reading parts.

What is the sentence-insertion question in Part 6?

One item per text asks you to choose a complete sentence to fill the blank. Grammar will not separate the options — only the logic of the surrounding sentences will.

How is Part 6 different from Part 5?

Part 5 items are self-contained single sentences. In Part 6 several blanks can only be answered using information from a different sentence in the same text.

How much time should Part 6 take?

Roughly 8–9 minutes for all four texts. Part 7 has 54 questions and needs most of the 75-minute Reading block.
