This study examined what kinds of reading test-taking strategies were used by Korean EFL learners in performing a TOEIC reading test and how their reading proficiency affected their strategy use. One hundred thirteen students of a Busan-based university took both a TOEIC reading test and a strategy questionnaire. Five students among them participated in a verbal report after the reading test. The results showed that the most frequent strategies were finding key words, checking questions before reading passages, and finding a correct answer while deleting incorrect options. The infrequent strategies were such test-wise strategies as avoiding consecutive arrangement of answers of the same number and choosing the longest option. Also, there was a statistically significant difference in the strategy use of the three groups with different English proficiency. It was suggested that instructions on effective use of reading test-taking strategies should be given to EFL learners.
