GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING FOR AND TAKING THE TOEIC TEST

Use English as often as possible.
If you are planning to take the TOEIC test, you should make every effort to use English as often as possible at work, as well as in social, travel, and other everyday situations.

Reading the directions carefully.
Before beginning the test, you will read a set of general directions. You will also be given specific directions as to how to answer each part of the test. Study the directions and the sample questions in this book carefully so that you will be familiar with te test format.

Work rapidly and carefully.
When you take the test, do not spend too much time on any one question. Work as fast as you can.

Do not take notes.
While you are taking the exam, do not make any notes on your answer sheet or on any other piece of paper.

Guess.
There is no penalty for guessing. Try to answer every question. Some questions are more difficult than others. You may not know the answer to every question, so make a guess.

Mark only one answer per question.
Questions with more than one answer marked will be counted wrong even if one of the answers marked is correct.

Follow the directions of the test examiners.
If you do not follow the rules during the test, your score may not be counted.
