The TOEIC Test - Test of English for International Communication - a standardised test giving reliable
results measures proticiency in international business English at intermediate and advanced levels. It
provides an accurate measurement of the English capabilities of non-native speakers. The TOEIC test
measures and certities listening, reading and grammar proticiency in international business English.
The TOEIC tests:
• Help businesses build a more etíective 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 communicate across borders and cultures with co-workers and clients.
• Allovv employers to make hiring decisions, promotions, transíers depending on job seekers’
qualitications and English language proticiency.
• Enable universities to better prepare students for the international vvorkplace.
In briet, organizations and job seekers around the vvorld trust TOEIC scores to help them get ahead of

the competition.
TOEIC is a very challenging examination, and untortunately, many students find it hard to achieve the
score they need. One reason for this is that the TOEIC questions use many challenging words, so
students need a considerable number of business vocabulary items. The other reason is that TOEIC
questions challenge students in a very logical manner. Many students are not comtortable 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, and a great score is anything above 900 points.
Being aware of the practical demand of learners, we 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 hopetully a
very beneticial and rewarding material for class use with the assistance of an instructor or for self-study.
Tips to help you prepare for the TOEIC tests:
• Listen to music - Music helps you acquire the rhythm and stress patterns of spoken English.
• Listen to the radio and watch TV and tilms - 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. If you can’t
do this face to face, send regular e-mail messages.
• Read - Reading is the best way to improve your vocabulary. Read nevvspapers, magazines
vvebsites, novels, and non-fiction books. Choose something that genuinely interests you and isn’t
too challenging.
• Write - Try keeping a daily journal where you can practise using new words and expressions. This
helps reiníorce sentence structures and vocabulary.
There are no shortcuts - the only way to get a high score is by vvorking hard, practising constantly and
patierítly to improve your English abilities.
May you soon achieve your desired goal!
