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. Shocked

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 Confused

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 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. Very Happy

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.

Hello, I am a university student form Taiwan. I have toeic lesson in this semester and I took the toeic in three months ago. This is a great test for students because this test purpose is for business not like toefl. So I can learn many English from our life not just study for textbook and it�s useful in our conversation. I suggested students can to take toeic and more prove our English ability.

Hello everyone
i found TOEIC is an interesting exam than TOEFL. Now, I prepare TOEIC for April 30. I enjoy learning the contents about TOEIC. It's relly funny and not many technology. My friend use the book to study"30 Days To the TOEIC Test", and I use it "TOEIC Official Test-praparation Guide." I think these books are great! But I found that in the listening part, there is many tricks,such as assonance. I hope I can get your score. Crying or Very sad
