This study was conducted using data from examinees (N = 1,958) who participated in the field study
for the Redesigned TOEIC Listening and Reading test because operational data for the redesigned
test were not available at that time. The field study was conducted in November 2004 (see Chapter 3
in this compendium). The examinees, who were from the TOEIC test Secured Program (SP) population
in Japan and Korea, took two field test forms, forms C and D. The field study sample was found to
have higher listening scores and slightly lower reading scores than the population of the Redesigned
TOEIC Listening and Reading test from May 2006 to June 2009. For the field study sample, the means
(standard deviations) were 341 (80) and 270 (90) for listening and reading skills, respectively. For the
Redesigned TOEIC test population, the means (standard deviations) were 323 (85) and 278 (95) for
listening and reading skills, respectively. The field study sample was considered to be reasonably close
to the population because the standardized difference between the group means was .22 for the
listening section of the test and .09 for the reading section.
Like the Classic TOEIC Listening and Reading test, the redesigned test has 200 items, with 100 items
in each section. Like the Classic TOEIC Listening and Reading test, the score scale for each section of
the redesigned test is still 5 to 495 points, in increments of 5 points. Although the listening and reading
sections both have the same scale, their scaled scores cannot be compared to each other as they
were derived from independent separate equatings.
