TOEIC Strategy

The TOEIC LISTENING SECTIONS (4 parts) and a READING SECTIONS (3 parts) are quite different. In fact, the different parts of the READING SECTIONS are quite different from each other. The same goes for the LISTENING SECTION. But what are some good strategies that we can use to do well on the TOEIC exam? Here is a more detailed look:
LISTENING SECTION (100 Points)
PART I – Photos (20 Points) Test takers will be asked to look at pictures and choose the answer that corresponds to what they hear. This section is by far the easiest on the TOEIC. If you are not good at photos, you are in trouble. Concentrate on the subject of the sentence – is it an object or a person? Plural or singular? Many times on the TOEIC you can get the questions correct without knowing lots of specialized vocabulary. Let your MBA GLOBE professional TOEIC instructors take you through the Photos section. We know how to raise your score dramatically.
PART II – Questions / Response (30 Points) Test takers will be asked to listen to a question then choose the correct response. With MBA GLOBE's special TOEIC listening section methods, you will be able to raise your score to the level you need to be successful on the test. Part II requires a specific strategy that is particular to MBA GLOBE's TOEIC training program. Ask us more for details.
PART III – Short Conversations (30 Points) Test takers will be asked to listen to a very short dialogue or exchange then choose the correct response. One of the harder parts of the test. Keywords and time-management strategies are important here.
PART IV - Short Talks (20 Points) Test takers will be asked to listen to a long conversation lecture type talk then choose the correct response. This is probably the hardest section of the whole exam – lucky for you it's only worth 10 percent of the total score. The best strategy here is to manage your time carefully and listen for details.
READING SECTION (100 Points)
Grammar (60 Points)
PART V - Fill in Blank (40 Points) Test takers are asked to choose the right word to go in a blank space.
PART VI - Find Error (20 Points) Test takers are asked to find the error in the sentence.
For both PART V & PART VI, you will have to review the questions and their grammatical aspects with MBA GLOBE trained professional TOEIC test preparation specialists if you want to do well on these sections. Trying to do a grammar review on your own will only result in frustration, lost time or even worse.
Reading (40 Points)
PART VII - Reading Section (40 Points) Test takers are asked to answer questions about a reading passage. Students are encouraged to read as many TOEIC-type reading passages as they can and review them with MBA GLOBE's own TOEIC Reading Section specialists. Only by studying the TOEIC reading section using special MBA GLOBE Reading Skills improvement methods can you ever hope to succeed.
