ABOUT THE TOEIC (L & R) The TOEIC is an English language proficiency test for people whose native language is not English. It measures the English skills of people working in an international environment. Everyday working and conversational English is used for the TOEIC, specialised business or technical vocabulary is not required. TOEIC scores indicate how well people can communicate in English with others in business, commerce and industry, and are widely used by clients from that sector wishing to test competence levels. It is a two-hour, multiple-choice test. A further half hour is needed for administration. There are 200 questions, divided into two sections:
LISTENING SECTION Approximately 45 minutes There are100 listening comprehension questions on compact disc. You listen to a variety of statements, questions, short conversations, and short talks recorded in English, then you answer the questions.
READING SECTION Approximately 75 minutes There are 100 reading questions consisting of three types. You read a variety of materials and answer at your own pace.
WHO IS IT FOR? There are many different candidates for TOEIC testing, for example: People who use English in work situations, such as businesses, hotels, hospitals, restaurants, conventions, international meetings and sports events, managerial, sales and technical employees in international commerce, business or industry, who require English for their work as well as candidates for whom training is to be conducted in English.

Many students take the test regularly to measure improvement over time.
