7 TOEIC Tips
TOEIC: Test of English for International Communication
Tip 1: Set a goal

If you are taking the test to apply for a job, find out what 
score is needed. Some jobs require a minimum score of 600. 
Management jobs may require a higher score, such as 800. 
Choose a goal that you can achieve.

Tip 2: Understand the test

Make sure you understand the format of each section. By 
practising tests, you will become very familiar with the 
TOEIC. The test should become "second nature" to you before 
you attempt the real thing.

Tip 3: Make a study plan

Procrastination is one of the key reasons students fail the 
TOEIC. The day you decide to take the TOEIC should be the 
day you start to study. Write down your study plan!

Tip 4: Divide study time appropriately

The TOEIC is divided into seven sections. Each section is 
worth a certain amount of points. Don't spend too much time 
studying one section. Many students make the mistake of 
studying the section that they enjoy the most.

Tip 5: Build a strong vocabulary

Another reason students fail the TOEIC is that they have a 
very limited vocabulary. Remember that the TOEIC has a 
business theme. You should study vocabulary such as travel, 
banking, health, restaurants, offices, etc.

Tip 6: Isolate your weak points

After you have been studying the TOEIC for a while, you will 
find out which parts give you the most trouble. You might 
want to change how you divide your time.

Tip 7: Eliminate distractors

Every TOEIC question has at least two distractors (wrong 
answers to trick you). There are many types of distractor 
such as, similar sounds, homonyms, repeated words etc. Make 
a list of distractors so you recognize them more easily.
