Hello, friends!
I'm planning to take it in autumn.

There are so many things to learn to improve our English, and exams are one of the best motivation for studying hard because high test scores are useful for better lives---for example, enterance exams, raises and promotion, etc.
I never say test scores always reflects language skill, but because of this never-ending recession TOEIC results are getting more and more influential in companies.

I think TOEIC is less popular in English-speaking countries, so we should have more English exam scores or grades besides TOEIC scores to be trusted as English speakers

Hi! My name is Onsoku!

I took the TOEIC one year ago.
It is very much difficult. Especially time distribution -- Time distribution went wrong after all.
Because it failed, the last long-letter problem has been ended without reading a problem.
I looked at this and thought that I would take TOEIC again.

I used to study Toefl. But now I 'm studying Toeic. So in a few months I want to take the test.P lease tell me how to improve score and skills.

I am planning to get an score of 700~800in TOEIC this year. I have been taking the TOEIC course from few months ago. I found some of the listening are quite interesting. Especially for the short coversation parts. I enjoy listening to the advertisements and the broadcasts. Sometimes they are a little tricky that you may not notice if you are not concerntrated. The TOEIC is becoming more popular in the non-spoken English country. I think the examination is vey useful for people who work in the company. Now. they grade the employee by judging the TOEIC score. I think it is very fair for everybody.

Hi all,

I also have plan to be taken the TOEIC certificate the end of this year. But I don't have any materials for learning and preparation. I just have some mp3 files for listening of book named "30 Days To the TOEIC Test" but don't have the test paper for practice.

If you guys have any materials, please share them for me.

Thank a million.

My institution accepts all of them for admissions for undergraduate students. We require a 5.5 on IELTS and 500 for TOEFL (paper based) and 173 (computer based TOEFL) and 620 on TOEIC.

So the test are useful if you plan to go to a university in the United States.

Hi all , I’m Japanese college student. Recently I took a TOEIC test for the first time. It’s very difficult for me. Listening test is so quick, and quantity is many. Can everyone solve this difficult test?
When we take job hunting, Japanese company demands us several things. For example, to speak English is important thing. If we have TOSEIC test over 700, our English ability is admitted. I think English is important not only for job hunting but also for communication with foreign people.
So I study English little by little, and I hope I can get over 700.
