The TOEIC test ‘measures and certifies Istening, reading and grammar proficiency in international business English, ‘The TOEIC tests: * Help businesses buld a more effective workforce. There is, nowadays, a high demand from leading ‘global corporations for employees to communicate effectively in English, That is, employees must be able to commuricate across borders and cultures with co-workers and clients + Allow employers to make hiring decisions, promotions, transfers depending an job seekers’ ‘qualifications and English language proficiency. * Enable universities to better prepare students for the international workplaces, In briet, organizations and job sockers around the world trust TOEIC scores to help them get ahead of the competition. ‘TOEIC is a very challenging examination, and unfortunately, many students find it hard to achieve the score they need. One reason for this is that the TOEIG questions use many challenging words, so students need a considerable number of business vocabulary items. The other reason is that TOEIC ‘vestions challenge students in a very logical manner. Many sludents are not comfortable with this type of thinking, which can make the test very challenging, ‘The maximum score on TOEIC is 990 points. A reasonable score is above 700 points, a good score is anything above 800 points, anda great score is anything above 900 points, Being aware of the practical demand of learners, wo have designed the series TOEIC RC and LC - 730 ‘and 860 whose questions are taken from the most recent TOEIC tests with the aim of helping those who want to achieve the score of approximately 700 ~ 900 points. This series of books is hopefully a very beneficial and rewarding material for class use with the assistance of an instructor or for selt-study. Tips to help you prepare for the TOEIC tests: + Listen to music ~ Wusic helps you acquire the rhythm and stress pattems of spoken English. + Lister to the radio and watch TV and films ~ This helps you pick up the language, and does not bore you either! * Use the language - Set aside half an hour each day to communicate only in English. I you can't do this face to face, send regular e-mail messages. ‘+ Read ~ Reading is tho bost way to Improve your vocabulary. Read newspapers, magazines, ‘websites, novels, and non-fiction books. Choose something that genuinely interests you and isn't too challenging, * Write ~ Try keeping a daly journal where you can practise using new words and expressions. This helps reinforce sentence structures and vocabulary. ‘There are no shortcuts ~the only way to get a high score is by working hard, practising constantly anc! Patleritly to improve your English abilities. May you soon achieve your desired goal!
