How to best prepare this test?
Here are several tips you should know to optimize your TOEIC score:
Work your listening
To prepare for the listening part it is important to listen to English radio, watch films or series in English with subtitles, if necessary. They will help you understand what your ear could not discern.
Play on anticipation
One of the rules that will allow you to earn a lot of points in the listening part is ANTICIPATION. According to the exercises look carefully at the photos or read the questions and answers when available even before hearing the statements or conversations. Thus you will be able at the time of listening to directly strike the answers that are wrong.
Work your reading comprehension
For the Reading part you need to familiarize yourself with written English. To do this you can subscribe to Anglophone newspapers but also go on the net to read newspapers or blogs in English. You can find many books in your bookseller in English but also on the internet at very competitive prices.
