Test of English for international communication, translated from Chinese into English, is an English proficiency test designed by the Education Testing Service Center for people who use English to communicate in an international working environment. Below I will provide you with eight skills about the TOEIC exam, hoping to be useful to you!
Tip 1: Improve the overall English level.
There are two ways to improve your toeic test scores:
● Understand the questions of TOEIC test and the good test-taking strategies adopted by other candidates.
Good command of English (this requires long-term accumulation).
This step-by-step preparation plan provided by this book can help you realize the first way to improve your grades. The best way to improve English is to use it whenever and wherever possible. If possible, go to an English training class. Outside the classroom, try to find opportunities to speak English, especially with native English speakers. Read English newspapers and magazines, listen to English news and English talk shows on the radio, attend English lectures and watch original English movies.
Secret 2: Know your strengths and weaknesses and work hard where you lack them.
You may already know clearly where your English needs to be improved, or you may want to judge your English weaknesses by previewing the test questions in this book. Then, before you start studying, do a good job of previewing these questions. Do you think one or more questions are particularly difficult? If so, then put more time and energy into the study of the corresponding part of this book.
Tip 3: Take time to prepare for the exam.
Taking an important exam like toeic is like facing a challenge in life. You have to do a lot of training to prepare for the exam, and it must be systematic training.
Before you start reviewing for the exam, prepare a timetable and plan the study content of each hour. If you make such a detailed review plan three or four days a day or a week, your learning efficiency will be much higher than just having a rough plan. Study according to your own plan for a week, then revise it as needed, and then review as much as possible according to the plan until a few days before the exam. At this time, when you review again, your exam results will not have much impact. At this time, what you should do most is to relax.
If possible, arrange a period of time to prepare for the exam. Don't do other homework during this period, and don't be occupied by other things. Just concentrate on reviewing for the exam.
Learn by 30 5 5 method:
● First, study for 30 minutes.
● Take a break for 5 minutes. Leave your desk and do something else.
After you come back, take 5 minutes to review what you have learned in the last 30 minutes, and then preview what you will learn.
It is also good to communicate regularly with other people who are going to take the TOEIC exam. Research shows that the learning effect of this kind of study group is very good.
Tip 4: Be familiar with the questions of TOEIC test and the test requirements of each part.
If you have a clear map of the toeic test in your mind, you won't be in a hurry on the day of the test, and you will know where you have done now and what the next question will be.
Generally speaking, the examination requirements and even the examples given in each part are the same. If you are familiar with these requirements, you don't have to look at them during the exam, which can save a lot of valuable exam time. Due to copyright reasons, the title requirements in this book are slightly different from those in the formal examination, but they are all similar. If you understand the requirements in this book, you can also understand the test requirements in the actual exam.
Tip 5: Know how to scribble answers on the answer sheet.
One of the most annoying things during the exam is to suddenly find that the questions you are doing are out of place with the questions on the answer sheet. You have to go back to the source to see which question you started with, and then correct the answers in turn from that question. To avoid this problem, you can mark it with a paper. Cover the unanswered questions on the answer sheet with the test paper, and move the test paper down one line every time you finish a question.
Bring more 2B pencils, a good eraser and a small pencil sharpener. Don't scribble with a pen or signature pen. When you draw the answer, you must fill the whole box and don't scribble at will.
Please be sure to fill in the answers. Only one answer can be selected for each question. If you want to revise the answer, you must wipe it thoroughly.
Tip 6: Whatever it is, guess!
You won't lose points if you answer wrong in the toeic exam. In other words, if you don't know which answer to choose, just guess one and write it down. Never leave it blank. Remember, even if you make a wild guess, the probability of your right guess is 1/4 (25%). (In the second part of the test, your chance of getting it right is 1/3, which is 33. 3% 。 )
If you don't know which answer is right at all, according to the general guessing standard, I suggest you choose (c), which is better than aimless guessing.
Tip 7: screen out the correct answer by exclusion.
Coup 6, you learned to guess the answer when you encounter a problem that you can't do. However, it is better not to guess blindly until the last moment of the exam. Instead, you should try to make the best choice. At this time, the exclusion method comes in handy. In other words, when you can't find the right answer, you will rule out those obviously wrong and incorrect options; At this time, if there are multiple options that cannot be ruled out, guess one of these remaining alternative answers.
The following are typical multiple-choice questions:
interrogative sentence
Another answer
Alternative answer
C alternative answer
Alternative answer
Of course, of the four options, only 1 is the best choice, and this option is the correct answer. The other three options are all wrong, because these wrong options are misleading.
interrogative sentence
Wrong choice
B error option
answer correctly
D error option
However, not all the wrong options are so obvious. One or two options are wrong at first glance, and the other one is not so easy to distinguish, which is closer to the correct answer. This option is wrong for most people and is the main wrong option.
interrogative sentence
Major error options
B error option
answer correctly
D error option
Even if you can only exclude 1 from the four options, the probability of your guess will increase from 1/4 (25%) to 1/3 (33). 3%), and if you can exclude two, your chances of getting it right will be very high, reaching 1/2 (50%).
What if you still can't decide which one to choose after eliminating one or two options? At this time, if your hunch (an instinctive feeling) tells you that one of the options is better, then choose this one. If you don't have any premonition, then you choose that standard option; And if your standard options have been excluded, just choose one and continue to do the following questions.
Let's find an example from the fifth part to see the application of exclusion in practice:
Me? I am eager to be a new member of the product development team.
meeting
I will meet you.
Meeting of Chief Technology Officers
Dmet
You can exclude options B and D first, because of these two options, meet is a verb, and there is already a verb am in the sentence. Moreover, option d expresses the past tense. So it's a bit difficult to choose between a and c now. A option meeting is a gerund, and c option meeting is an infinitive. But even so, you may make a correct judgment based on your grammar knowledge. And from the sense of language, one of the answers feels more smooth in the sentence.
If you choose C, you are right! However, not all TOEIC test questions are in this mode, and it is even difficult to rule out a wrong option. But for candidates, the exclusion method is still an effective answering tool.
Tip 8: Learn to control your emotions during the exam.
It is normal to feel nervous and anxious before an exam. Standardized exams like toeic will often have an impact on your future planning to some extent. If you go to a sports meeting or make an important business speech, you will also feel nervous. There is a sentence in English that vividly describes this feeling: the butterfly in the belly. But once the exam begins, this tension disappears. It's good for you to be a little nervous. It can make you more focused. However, excessive tension will make you lose your mind and make low-level mistakes.
One of the ways to decompress yourself before the exam is to go to the examination room in advance. If you arrive in a hurry or just arrive late, you will be very nervous during the exam.
If you feel nervous when doing the second period (reading), stop and have a short rest and give yourself 15 seconds to rest. Lean back, close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, try to relax and continue to answer questions. Don't use this skill when listening, or you will miss a lot of questions! )
In short, the best way to eliminate exam anxiety is to face the exam with a positive and confident attitude. When you are familiar with the whole exam, master the exam skills and complete a set of real questions, your mentality will be gradually established. The comprehensive course of TOEIC test is written to help you achieve these goals.
