Introduction
L What is Taking the TOEIC® Second edition?
Taking the TOEIC® is a comprehensive guide to taking the TOEIC® Listening and Reading Test. This book can be
used as the perfect companion manual for self-learners or as a classroom text. The book is targeted for those
who have experience with the TOEIC® test but are looking to improve their basic TOEIC® skills, fix commonlymade errors, and polish their English grammar to avoid simple mistakes. This book is made up of four chapters:
three go over each section of the test in detail, and one is a practice test.
Chapter 1 Parts 1-4 (Listening Practice)
Each unit within the Listening Practice chapter features sample questions and answers and provides helpful
hints for developing strategies to recognize relevant information in listening passages. Part 1 introduces
common themes featured in Part 1 of the TOEIC®, such as the home, the workplace, and public places. Part 2
focuses on the most common question types and provides assistance in identifying appropriate answers for
each type. Parts 3 and 4 give sample short conversations and talks and focus on how to identify key points in
order to answer questions. Each part features mini-tests to provide practice of the strategies introduced in this
chapter.
Chapter 2 Parts 5 and 6 (Grammar Practice)
Lessons within the Grammar Practice chapter outline fundamental grammar points frequently tested on the
TOEIC®. Each lesson begins with a brief explanation of the grammar target including key points and particular
structures of interest in theTOEIC®.The lessons also provide exercises based on the format ofTOEIC® grammar
questions, which allow students to practice their understanding of the grammar points. These exercises include
vocabulary comprehension, sentence completion, and grammar exercises. Additional practice is provided in
mini-tests at the end of each lesson. These mini-tests use the format of questions found in Parts 5 and 6 of the
TOEIC®, combining grammar and vocabulary practice. After five lessons, students may measure their progress
with review tests. There is also a cumulative final test at the end of the chapter.
Chapter 3 Part 7 (Reading Practice)
The Reading Practice chapter introduces sample texts to familiarize students with the kinds of materials they
will encounter on the TOEIC®—such as emails, letters, brochures, tables, chat room excerpts, text messages,
articles, and reports—together with examples of the kinds of questions students may expect to find in this part
of the test. The mini-tests provide extensive test practice using the format of questions found in Part 7 of the
TOEIC®.
Chapter 4 Practice Test
The Practice Test chapter provides students with a full-length test including 100 listening test questions and 100
reading test questions.
An answer key and MP3 files are provided for all the test questions. For the listening sections, transcriptions of
all passages and questions are available, as well as explanations for Part 5 & 6 questions. There is also an
accompanying application for this book. The app will enhance the learning experience by providing more
customized practice for students. This will allow students to truly focus on their areas of weakness.
The simplified grammar and theme-based texts of Taking the TOEIC® provide pre-intermediate to intermediate
students with access toTOEIC® practice materials appropriate for building their test-taking skills without the
frustration of encountering overly complicated vocabulary and grammar structures. Taking theTOEIC®bưi\ứs an
excellent foundation for students starting preparation for the TOEIC® test.

ii. Why Taking the TOEIC® Second edition?
The second edition of this series is meant to reflect the recent changes made to the TOEIC® in 2016. Therefore,
students of this book will have access to the most up-to-date question formats. This series supplies plenty of
examples of the new question types to prepare students thoroughly for these changes. However, besides
focusing on the new question types, we have also selected the most common themes and questions found on
the test. Each and every question in this book was written by native English speakers who have years of
experience with the TOEIC test, bringing you a native speaker's tips and tricks to achieving a high score on this
test. Taking the TOEIC® Second Edition also introduces a brand-new feature—the Taking the TOEIC® mobile
application—to help students study better for the TOEIC®.

New Compass TOEIC® App
Throughout the book, students will see an App icon accompanying the MP3 number. Those studying with
Taking the TOEIC® will have access to a new Classroom Response Application, enhancing their learning
experience. This application will improve students'scores much more drastically than the traditional method of
only using a book.
App Features
For classroom users:
Teachers can create an interactive classroom using this book by having students answer questions in real-time.
Answers are delivered instantly to the teacher, showing them exactly where students are struggling and
excelling. This allows teachers to target their students'weaknesses.
Teachers can choose topics based on the areas that they would like to work on. The application will provide
questions based on that question type to drill students. Teachers have complete control over the type and
number of questions they use. These questions are delivered to the student's smartphone/tablet/PC, and
answers will then be reported back to the teacher. On the teacher's website, teachers will be able to view and
print out individual student records or entire class reports.
For self-study users:
Self-study users may use the app to access the MP3s. The students will also be able to use this app to gauge
how well they are doing by using the question database and practice lots of different questions, focusing on
parts they frequently get wrong. Students can figure out which parts they need to work on by checking their
scores on the student website.
How to get the app:
Google Play Store: "Classloop"
Apple App Store: "Classloop"
Website Features (www.classloop.net)
Through the website, teachers and students can view detailed reports of their results and progress as they use
Taking the TOEIC®. The site gives recommendations about areas for improvement and additional practice
questions. In addition, teachers can make customized TOEIC tests from an available pool of question.
