The educational team of PolyglotClub defined 3 strategies to pass your TOEIC. These strategies offer an effective approach to be prepared for the exam.
Beyond your level of English, passing sucessfully your TOEIC requires a good management of your preparation.
The strategies presented below will provide you with the keys to improve rapidly and gain points.
Strategy 1: Know everything about the exam
This is a standardized test. In order to ensure the consistency of grades in time and space, the creators of TOEIC use the same identifiable exam structure (number of exercises, themes, types of questions, ...).
This is an opportunity to grasp, because it is possible before taking the exam to know in detail how it works: the sequence between questions, the time required to respond, how questions are asked, and even the themes to which they apply.
Strategy 2: Prepare as a strategy
The TOEIC is not a contest, it's a test. It must completely influence your way of understanding the test and develop your method of preparation!
In order to "get your TOEIC", it is "sufficient" to achieve the score you need (850 points to qualify for a manager position for example).
Note: request the minimum score that will be required if not said explicitly. To succeed in your preparation, you must clearly identify your score goal.
A successful preparation depends on several variables:
- The preparation time you have,
- The number of points to reach your goal;
- You.
Let us explain: test yourself first with a few exercises, then with a practice exams. Give yourself grades per exercice and per section. Then identify the exercises for which you estimate you can increase your score quickly. Again, you may want to work your weak points as well as your strengths.
- Evaluates your level,
- Calculates the number of points you need to succeed your test,
- Identifies the sections in which you will gain points easily.
Strategy 3: Secure and stand for an effective method
Last fundamental advice: develop an effective method of work. This must arise from the strategy (see above: strategy 2).
It is structured around 2 ideas:
- Set a schedule,
- Rely on quality review media.
The preparation phase is often very short and even if you have set a good strategy and set a relevant schedule, choice of preparation materials is decisive. They are numerous and vary in quality. Choose a good media means increase your opportunities to make progress quickly.
