This study aims to analyze the types of reading skills assessed in TOEFL reading comprehension questions and to identify which skills are most frequently emphasized across various test versions. A qualitative analysis was conducted on reading comprehension questions from five different TOEFL tests. The study involved categorizing questions based on 13 distinct reading skills and counting the frequency of each skill type across the tests. Data were organized in tables to provide a clear view of the distribution and emphasis of these skills. The analysis revealed that "Answering Detailed Questions Correctly" (Skill 3) is the most frequently assessed skill, with 44 occurrences across the tests. "Adequately Replying to Implied Detail Questions" (Skill 6) is also prominently featured, appearing in 34 questions. Other significant skills include "Using Context to Determine the Meaning of Difficult Words" (Skill 10) and "Identifying Main Ideas" (Skill 1), each reflecting a critical aspect of reading comprehension. Conversely, skills like "Using Structural Clues to Definitions" (Skill 8) were less frequently assessed. NONE Perpustakaan Universitas PGRI Delta Jl. Kemiri, 61234.
