Why are TOEIC Test items and answer keys not disclosed to the public?
TOEIC test forms are used in multiple test administrations and therefore must be maintained under secure conditions at all times. If the items and answer keys were disclosed to the public, such exposure would erode the integrity of the testing program. In addition, TOEIC test items and answer keys are protected by copyright law as property of ETS, the copyright holder of the TOEIC test. For this reason, ETS’s TOEIC test items and answer keys should not be disclosed or used for any purpose without written permission by ETS.
