This study investigated the factor structure of the listening and reading sections of a TOEIC practice test using a bifactor model and a two-tier model that are based on a full-information item factor analysis. The data was drawn from 3158 college students’ responses to a TOEIC practice test. The results showed that the listening factor is essentially unidimensional whereas the reading factor is bidimensional: one primary factor for reading comprehension and a minor factor for vocabulary and grammar. The analyses also suggested that the listening and reading factors are highly correlated but distinctive skills. Subsequently these factor structures were compared and contrasted to the results from previous validation studies of the TOEIC test in the literature, Finally pedagogical implications were discussed
