This book aims at providing a practical preparation course for TOEIC learners whose entry
score is around 500 to reach a target score of 700 and above. If this is your first attempt
- at the test or your current score is around 400, TNT TOEIC Basic Course is recommended
for you instead.

Although the TOEIC test has certain specific question types that learners can effectively
get trained to cope with in order to achieve their target scores, several TOEIC 700 course
books currently on the market have turned out to discourage or confuse learners with
numerous learning points in their content rather than highlighting only essential areas for
the test.

On the contrary, based on hands-on teaching experiences of its author, this book places
a strong focus on only. key points, in terms of grammar, words and expressions, and
techniques which. are commonly requiredin each part of the test. These key points will
help learners quickly understand test questions and spot correct choices when taking the
real test.

Built intensively for a target score of 700, the book is hoped to serve a good aid in the
conquest of the new TOEIC test. What learners should also pay attention to during their
_ Preparation is that language skills are improved through continuous practice and efficient
training and that understanding question types and how to cope with them is the key to
success, not memorizing the answers. :
