商业托福阅读理解成绩提高技巧

由于托业考试在我国还是一个新鲜的考试，普及率不是很高，所以笔者谈托业英语阅读理解成绩的提高之前，首先要让大家应该明确，托业英语考试要取得好成绩，需要两个东西：英语的实力和考试方法。这两个东西相辅相成，但是我们很多同学往往只强调实力，不重视方法。曾经有一个同学问我，王老师，现在快考试了，我复习了很长时间英语，我的英语的基础和水平都不错，但是就是考试成绩上不去，你能不能告诉我怎么样提高英语水平把考试过了。

我当时就给他说，你放弃这种想法，现在都什么时候了，你不要给我说提高英语水平的事情，你现在最主要的问题不是去提高英语水平，是先把考研的考试过了，等你过了以后，我们慢慢的谈怎么提高英语水平。为什么这样讲呢？因为考研的同学很多已经具备相当的英语水平了，或者经过长期的复习后基本具备了相当的英语水平和能力。但是为什么成绩始终无法提高？关键的就是我们很多同学在托业英语考试中应试或者做题的方法不对，其本质就是对托业考试的规律和命题思路没有透彻的理解。

大家其实在学英语上已经花了很多时间，初中3年，高中3年，大学4年，一般应有10年了，可10年的时间最后很多人连四级都过不了更不要说考托业了。所以做题和应试的方法很重要。很多同学英语水平很高，但是就是过不了托业考试，反而很多英语水平不怎么样的同学就过了。阅读就是一个例子，很多人文章能读的很懂就是题目做不对，反而很多阅读水平一般的同学做题做的很对。阅读里的四个选项，很多时候可以轻而易举排除两个，剩下两个。这个时候你会发现剩下的这两个你看了3分钟死活不知道选哪个。最终选的和答案往往不是正确答案。为什么会这样，就是你对英语学习的理解和方法以及应试有问题，你没有透彻的理解考试本身，没有理解命题老师的思路。你是这么多年都按照你自己的方法去学英语，尤其是很多同学把英语当作数学在学。

“得阅读者得天下”。对于阅读大家在处理的时候要学会在老师的指导下去分析我们考过真题里面的阅读理解的问题和选项。分析四个选项中正确的选项具有什么样的特征，与原文是什么关系；出题人在设计错误选项时错误的选项具有什么特征，是怎么误导和干扰考生的。比如我们常讲的考研的错误选项设计的两大方法：“移花接木”和“无中生有”。看看这些错误的选项是如何“移花接木”和“无中生有”，在看看正确的选项究竟与原文是什么关系，比如“同义转换”，“一词定乾坤”。

另外，对于托业阅读的文章，大家要做精读，仔细钻研。除了解决大纲单词以外，还要多记忆和归纳阅读词汇。但是其实词汇的作用只是一部分，很多同学词汇量很大，但是发现：我给你一段话，从第一个单词读到最后一个，没有一个生词，但是就是不知道什么意思，或者不能迅速理解原文。什么原因？有人说是语法结构不熟，有人说是长难句解决不了。

于是就提出让同学们解决语法问题或者分析长难句。其实不管什么原因，回归到语言本身，大家可以对真题里面的文章做翻译，也就是做精确的理解，然后对照老师提供的翻译来矫正你的翻译，从而达到对文章的精深的阅读和理解。这个提高的过程是很重要的也是非常有效的。每天早上起床可以多读我们的真题文章，对于提高语感，增强阅读能力并且精熟考研阅读理解文章的句式和文章套路有很大的帮助。

阅读部分

总共有三大题，100 小题。考生须阅读多种题材的文章，然后回答相关问题。考试时间为75 分钟，考生可在时限内依自己能力调配阅读及答题速度。

第五大题：完成句子40 题(四选一)

这种题型对我们再熟悉不过了，其实考的就是词汇和语法。撇开词汇不说，这部分的难度和高考中的同类题型是相当的。所以掌握高中范围内的语法知识架构足够应付这个题型。但是，这部分要做全对是不容易的。究其原因有二，一是一些难词大词会吓到考生,二是有许多固定的搭配只能凭借考生平时的积累。比如说：contingency plan(应急预案)这个词，对于大多数非母语的考生来讲，如果平时没有足够的阅读量，是很难选出contingency这个词和plan搭配的。同样的，还有assume the title of „.里面assume这种特殊的固定搭配，都是在考察考生平时的积累。

攻略：很多情况下，即使不知道选项里的词是什么意思，如果语法过关，也能根据词性去确定最终的正确答案。比如: It is becoming ? more difficult for young people to afford to invest in property.选项有progressing, progression, progressive, progressively。这个时候如果你不知道progress是什么意思，我们先根据原句判断，这里需要的是一个副词去形容difficult。因此，答案就选择了以副词标志-ly结尾的progressively。当然，这个题目当中千万别只看半句，想当然的认为become后面应该是形容词。这样的例子在托业题当中有很多。

第六大题：短文填空12 题(四选一)

这个部分是第五部分的扩张版。把句子扩张成一个段落，每个段落三个空。命题人的意图是让考生根据上下文的意思去选出合适的词汇。

攻略：不排除有几个空格即使不上下文也能快速选出答案，但是为保险起见，请务必仔细阅读完上下文，按照第五答题的技巧最终得出答案

第七大题：阅读理解48 题(四选一)

最熟悉的题目，最耗时的题目。典型的“高考”式阅读理解。这个部分里面也可以分为两个小部分。第一部分的素材都是单篇的，共7-10篇，每篇2-5个问题。第二部分的素材都是双篇的，共四组，每组5个问题。难度逐渐递增。大家在做模拟题的时候一定已经被这个部分的篇幅吓到了。好在都是小篇幅的语篇，被托福雅思虐过的同学可以松一口气了。

攻略：如果说托业听力让你感到有“难度”的话，那么做托业的阅读会让你觉得满地的“局”。的确，题目真的不难，就算是像What we can infer from this passage这种怀旧感十足的标准高考题套路，也总能让你十分确定的选出一个答案。这个部分的失分点主要原因就是“想当然”，由于有的语篇篇幅较短，后面又只跟了两个题目，误以为是小儿科的题目，所以想当然选答案，对了答案之后再回看最终恍然大悟原来进了“局”。这里的建议是，在确定选项之后，请习惯性的提醒自己要在文中找到依据!此外，有的语篇是广告或者海报等这些排版松散，字体多样的形式，做题目的时候一定要边边角角都扫描到。每一套托业阅读的卷子，总有一两个题目是让你自认为找不到答案的。

编后语

考试是一种技能，技能就需要练习。每个人在练习的过程当中多多少少都会有启发。以上总结的攻略虽然并非所有人都适用，但也希望起到抛砖迎玉之用。再次提醒，如果所有的方法都不奏效的时候，想短时间内提分的“猛药”还是题海战术!2015年最新托业考试备考全攻略（阅读篇）

编后语

考试是一种技能，技能就需要练习。每个人在练习的过程当中多多少少都会有启发。以上总结的攻略虽然并非所有人都适用，但也希望起到抛砖迎玉之用。再次提醒，如果所有的方法都不奏效的时候，想短时间内提分的“猛药”还是题海战术!托业考试阅读理解辅导

一、文章的选择

首先，我们要简单探讨一下托业考试中所用文章的范畴。托业文章的总是集中在商业、社会科学和基础科学领域。出题者总是喜欢选择非常具体的题目。可能考生对这些题目的背景知之甚少。但稍后你会发现，你并不需要这样的知识。事实上，如果你试图依靠背景知识答题才会有麻烦。如果你对此题目知之甚少，不必担心。你很快就会知道如何应对并得出正确答案。

此外，托业出题者总爱用很多数字、数据和专业的术语。托业极其细节化。这看来可能会使考生无法招架。但实际上这些信息只是我们的工具和朋友。你不必记忆文章的全部内容。事实上，因为托业考试出题者总喜欢将注意力放在具体的细节上，在阅读时几乎没有必要理解其“文章大意”。绝大多数问题都与文章中出现的具体信息有关。答案都摆在你眼前！几乎不需要自己的推理。一旦你知道怎样适当的阅读，就会很容易找到答案。一旦你知道怎样定位，你的成绩自然也会提高。

二．应试者会遇到的主要问题及如何应对

因为，我们说过后面也还会具体分析到，所有的答案都摆在你眼前，窍门就是找出它们。如果我们有一整天的时间阅读，这可能不是什么问题。很遗憾，我们的时间有限，仅有一个小时。时间问题就显得尤为重要。我们绝不能紧张和慌乱。相反，你要做的仅仅是在阅读的同时应用我们的黄金法则。在看的同时，了解你要找什么――我们稍后会对这一方法详细解释――能解决这一问题。再强调一遍，放松、不要读的太快。速度应适当。

另一个可能的问题是词汇量。如我们所说过的，托业考试中所用的词汇可能非常专业，有时甚至很复杂。即使如此，这一问题也很容易解决。所有需要理解的关键词汇在文中都会给出解释。如果没有解释，这个词就很可能并不重要。甚至如果有问题问到了你不熟的词，也是有办法解决的，这一点会在后面讲到。

三．考试的结构

本部分包括三篇文章，每篇后有13－14个问题。这些问题一般分为八种（略去－译注），但也存在一些变化。对每类题型都有不同的办法。当然也有一些适用于所有题型的基本方法。下面我会先谈谈这些基本方法，即“黄金法则”，之后再用更大的篇幅讨论每一题型的具体方法。

四．普遍规律

A．所有的答案就在你眼前

托业与其它标准考试（如GRE）不同，它仅考查语言。这对于应试者意味着什么呢？这表明，托业考试并不考查你的推理能力。出题者不会给你提供信息然后让你基于这些信息得出结论。相反，他们给你提供信息并问你这些信息。基本上，他们都是让你重复刚刚给你的信息。答案就在你眼前！

B.词汇――上下文是关键

由于托业考试非常专业的特性，必定会出现许多读者不熟悉的词汇。这一点不必担心。事实上，托业考试出题者看来已经进行着意的设计使词汇根本不成为问题。一旦我们知道对付词汇的一些固定规律，这些文章就再也不难了。

当然，准备考试的最佳方法是增加词汇量。实现此目的的绝佳方法是泛读。因为托业文章的来源都与商业和科学相关，研读商业期刊、报纸及与具体社会潮流相关的文章最为理想。然而我们用于阅读的时间有限。掌握所有的英文单词是不可能的。

托业考试心得（930分；人大教材；6级500分水平，20天复习）

首先说下，写这个东西只有一个目的，就是回馈下社会，因为当初考的时候看了很多文章，不管怎样都获得了一些有用的信息和启发。分数也不牛逼，准备时间也不短，但希望可以对于像我一样底子薄弱的人可以有些帮助。

还有一点要说明，这篇文章里说的大部分内容都是针对应试的，这样去学习，主要目的就是为了考试，并不能从根本上帮助你增长英语水品。所以有时间的同学还是建议你们每天花点时间，日积月累的，真真提高英语水品。

好了，言归正传。我用的教材是人大的阅读，听力，6套模拟题。

首先说下听力吧，我第一次做托业听力的时候大概错了30个，有点郁闷，但并没在意，因为已经半年完全没看英语了，所以这个结果也算情理之中，因为本身底子就不好。

我当时是这样听的，早上按考试时间听一篇，然后对答案，下午的时候精听，把每个单词，每个句子都听懂，然后过2到3天，找一个晚上的时间脱离题目，再把听力原文听一次。每套题都是这样循环。

下面说下听力过程中要重点注意的问题： 1．

不管你开始的时候一篇文章做完之后错多少个，你一定要有信心，因为经过将近一个月的时间，你的听力水平肯定是可以提高的，所以一定要有信心。并且经过我参加考试后的经验发现，真题的听力并不难，也可以说很简单。

2．关于精听过程中的问题，有些地方听不懂，我不会反复听很多次，基本上我最多听5次，如果还是听不懂，我会放弃听懂这个单词，而是把这个没听懂的单词或词组的发音记下来，这点应该不难吧，大家的听力都没问题，肯定能听见，能模仿。为什么要这么做呢？因为后来我发现托业考试是一个针对性很强的考试，他不会像cet6那样，什么样的内容都涉及到，大部分都是一些基本的商务上的，公司里的用语，所以重复出现的单词或词组的概率很大。针对这些没听懂的地方，你把发音记下来，就相当于在你脑子里留了一个印象，留下了一个痕迹，但下次再出现这个词的时候，就可以条件反射的得到汉语意思。如果你没这么做，那么可能遇到这样情形，你在考试的时候听到这个词了，你思考了几秒钟想起来了这个词的意思，但这个时候听力还在照常进行，你之后的几秒钟的听力内容缺被忽略了，严重影响答题。所以平时在练习的时候，一定要注意积累这样的盲点，前面说到的晚上复习听力的阶段，也是为了重温盲点，扫除盲点。

3．Part 1和Part 3比较简单（个人认为，练习到后来的感觉），所以讲下针对part 2 和part 4的经验。

其中，p2的经验主要是从人大教材上学来的，感觉还可以，虽然有些东西肯定用不到，但说了总比没说强，所以可以去看下人大教材里的讲解。说下考试经验，我在考试中，第一道题没听懂，轻敌了，所以严重影响了后面几部分的考试，所以大家可以从中吸取经验教训：从第一道题开始就鼓足精神，认真去听；如果有听不懂的，千万要放弃，不能为了一棵树放弃一片森林，千万要放弃，在练习的时候可以练习放弃--。

P4的话书上说什么不用选原文出现的答案，要选同意变换的，其实我觉得不然，其实到后来，有些p4的文章，我也是听不懂，但基本都能选对，我总结了下，为什么会有这个效果，第一个原因就是在听原文的时候，一定要注意从整体把握，大概明白文章在说什么，还一定要注意说话人的语气，有的时候一些题目完全可以从说话人的语气中选出正确答案；第二就是可以采用“2点确定一条直线的”的方法。具体是这样的，在做文章之前，争取先看一下题目，找到题干跟选项的关键词，在听原文的过程中，注意听提干的关键词，在这个词的前后，如果出现了选项里的关键词，那正确答案基本就是这个选项了，个人觉得这个办法很好用，特别是在不能完全听懂文章的时候，大家可以尝试着去感受一下。（以上这些方法同样适用于p3，至于p1的方法，人大教材里已经说的很具体了，大家自己体会吧）

4.还有一点也说下吧，就是一定要提前看听力原文，我是按照人大教材介绍的顺序去看，感觉还可以。有些地方可以利用的，比如发下卷子之后，虽然卷子是封的，但你可以从底下掀起来看到最下面的题，也会帮你省时间，老师是不会管的，只要你别直接撕开。还有就是，做每套题的时候，要严格按照考试的时间来做，每次都认真对待，集中注意力快速扫题干跟选项，平时注意练习，这个能力也是可以提高的，比如只看题干的第一个疑问词，大写的词，跟时间等，选项中前半部分重复的地方，就掠过，不要读，记住不要读，因为之前是在用眼睛扫，而不是读，读的话浪费时间，用眼睛跟脑子扫，完全可以达到预期效果。（这些练习题的听力题干跟选项普遍偏长，所以大家在练习的时候如果读不完也不要紧，只要你用心去练了，可以集中的读，考试的时候一定可以读完）

5.听力差的人考前前20天建议每天都听2套题左右，这样可以让耳朵熟悉，很管用。

下面说下阅读部分：

每天上午对完听力答案之后，按考试时间做一套阅读，上午有时间的话可以对对答案，如果没时间就等下午精听听力后，认真分析错题。

1．我看过几篇人大语法跟词汇的书，但到真正考试的时候发现part5 6 很简单，不像练习里的那么难，所以大家可以考虑不用看那个书，因为太难了，没用，反倒浪费时间。不过你可以看下那本书之前的讲解，跟最后的一部分，叫什么“20天突破什么的”难度还可以，如果你底子不错，完全可以不看那本书，只需要把模拟题的p5 6弄明白就行。这两部分要拿满分很难，但想丢太多分也同样很难。

2．关于p7,真正的考试也很简单，但模拟题里的文章有点难了，而且有些分析的跟放屁一样，完全没作用，有的分析让你莫不着头脑，所以在做阅读那本书的时候，大家不用太较真，可以把那本书当做一个练习时间的书，有些问题错了，看了讲解之后还不懂的话，就可以不用管他了。但做模拟题的那6套的时候，希望你可以弄懂每一道错题，要知道为什么错了，怎么错的，正确答案跟错误答案之间有什么区别，正确答案是怎么被隐藏的等等。久而久之，就能有很大的提升。

3．在练习阅读的过程中，有时间的话可以把一些生词记下来，每天复习一下前面几天的单词，循环下去。个人觉得这个考试不用单独去花时间背单词，只需要把做过的题中的生词有选择的记下来就可以了。

4．我在练习的时候，几乎每次都有一些题明明会，但就是选错了，分析后发现，基本这样的题多是出现在我没把整篇文章看完就选择的情况下，所以针对这个问题，我以后不管文章长短，简单或是难，我都把文章看完，这样做可以让你至少少错2到3个题目。特别是最后的double reading 一定要看完文章，做题速度还可以的话，一定要看完每篇文章。

5．从练习开始，每次都要严格控制时间，留出5-10分钟涂卡，特别是在冬天，没暖气的考场里涂卡是挺浪费时间的，不过大家也别太担心，真正考试比模拟题简单，考试的时候我提前20多分钟就答完了。所以大家一定要有信心。

Ok，说了那么多，可能有点乱，因为是第一次写这样的东西，加上本来自身的文学修养就不够，所以还请大家见谅。

再强调几点，模拟题比真题难，可以说难的多，所以你们一定要有信息；每次练习都要做到3点：控制时间；全神贯注；认真总结。TOEIC Tips

1.Set a goal

So, you've decided to take the TOEIC test.Congratulations!The first thing you should do is set a goal.If you are taking the test in order to apply for a job, find out what proficiency level is required.Most entry level positions require a minimum score of 600.Management positions may require a higher score, such as 800.Choose a goal that is achievable.If you aim too high, you will be disappointed.Remember, you can take the test as often as you want if you don't mind paying the fee.2.Understand the test

Before you start studying for the test, make sure you understand the format of each section.You will be tested on your listening and reading comprehension skills.By doing model or practice tests, you will become very familiar with the TOEIC.The test should become “second nature” to you before you attempt the real thing.3.Make a study plan

Procrastination is one of the key reasons students fail the TOEIC test.You may book your TOEIC test months in advance.However, the day you decide to take the TOEIC test should be the day you start to study.You will have to decide whether or not you are going to teach yourself the TOEIC with reliable resources or whether you are going to take a TOEIC preparation class.In order to get the best results, you should do both.If you cannot afford to take a TOEIC class, make sure to choose a TOEIC textbook that has explanatory answers.You will also want to have a teacher or tutor that you can go to from time to time with questions.If you choose a TOEIC class, make sure that you trust your teacher and feel comfortable in his or her class.Take a class with a friend and make a commitment to study together in and outside of class.Studying at the same time every day is a great way to improve your score.Write down your study plan and sign it!4.Divide study time appropriately

The TOEIC is pided into seven sections.Each section is worth a certain amount of points.Don't spend too much time studying one section.Many students make the mistake of studying the section that they enjoy the most.This is the section you should spend the least amount of time on.You might want to pide your study week by focusing on a certain section each day.Remember, if Sunday is your day to practice Part VII(40 questions on the test), you might have to study twice as long as you would on Monday when you focus on Part I(20 questions on the test).5.Build a strong vocabulary

Another reason students fail the TOEIC test is that they have a very limited vocabulary.The day you decide to take the TOEIC test you should make yourself a blank dictionary.Use a notebook(an address book works great because it is pided into letters)and keep track of all of the new words you learn along the way.It is not useful to study vocabulary lists.You will only remember words that you have seen in context.For each entry, write the word and use it in a sentence.At the end of each week you should write a short letter or composition using as many of the words as you can.This might also be the time to stop using your translation dictionary.Electric dictionaries make things too simple!You will 6.7.8.9.not remember the word if it doesn't take any effort to understand it.Keep in mind that the TOEIC test has a business theme.You should study vocabulary from topics such as travel, banking, health, restaurants, offices, etc.You will also want to learn everyday idiomatic expressions.Isolate your weak points

After you have been studying the TOEIC for a while, you will find out which parts give you the most trouble.You might want to change how you pide your time.There are certain grammar points that many students have trouble with.If you are taking a TOEIC class, ask your teacher to bring in extra homework help on problems like these.If you are studying by yourself, find a good reference book in the library and look up your question.There may also be help on the Internet.For example, type “gerunds” into a search engine and you will probably find a useful exercise.Eliminate distractors

In every TOEIC question, there are at least two distractors(wrong answers that the test writer uses to trick you).It is much easier to choose the correct answer when you have only two to choose from.(The third choice is often impossible and easy to spot.)There are many types of distractors such as, similar sounds, homonyms, repeated words, etc.As you study, make yourself a list of distractors.When you come across them you will be able to eliminate them more easily.Trust your instincts

Sometimes an answer will jump out at you as either correct or incorrect.If you have been studying hard, chances are that your brain is telling you which choice to pick.Don't change your answers after following your instinct.If you do decide to change an answer, make sure that you erase very carefully.A machine will be marking your test.Be sure to use a pencil and fill in your circle choice completely.Bring extra pencils, erasers, and a pencil sharpener!Don't try to translate

Translating vocabulary and sentences wastes a lot of time.It is very rare that students have extra time during the TOEIC test.If you don't know a word, look at the context of the sentence and the words around it.You will not be allowed to use a dictionary when you take the test.10.Guess as a last resort

On test day, if you don't know the answer, and you have eliminated all of the distractors you can, don't leave the space blank.There is a good chance you will not have time to go back to this question.You still have a 25% chance of getting the answer right if you guess.If you are sure that one or two of the answers are incorrect, your guess is even more likely to be correct!11.Be aware of time management

When you are doing practice tests, you should always be aware of the time.Never allow yourself an open ended study session.You will have to learn to work efficiently.On test day, you should be especially careful in the Reading section.You will have 75 minutes to complete Parts V, VI and VII.Many students spend too long on section V or VI because they find these the most difficult.Don't spend more than 30 minutes on the first two parts.Part VII will take you at least 40 minutes, and it is worth a lot of points, especially if you find it an easier section.12.Listen quickly

When you are studying for the TOEIC test, do not get in the habit of rewinding the tape.On test day you won't have any control over the speed of the listening section.You will not even have time to think for very long between questions.Make sure that you do not get behind during the real test.If you do not know the answer, take your best guess.Then continue to follow along.Don't look back at questions when you are waiting for another question to start.13.Practise reading aloud

Reading out loud will help your listening and reading comprehension skills.In order to comprehend English more quickly, it is important that you understand the rhythm of the language.Read from textbooks, pamphlets, newspapers, and even children's novels.You might want to tape yourself and listen to how you sound.14.Use mass media

One of the best ways to prepare for the TOEIC test is to study real English.Watch television, listen to radio reports, and read newspapers and magazines.Pay special attention to ads, letters, weather and traffic reports, coupons, and special announcements.Do this with a friend, and write out questions for each other to answer.This is a great way to practice your wh-questions.It is also a great way to learn common idiomatic expressions.15.Use free web sites

There are many web sites that offer free model tests and samples.Type TOEIC into your search engine and start practising!Surfing the web is a great way to practise your reading and listening.If you are interested in a certain topic, such as snowboarding, type that into a search engine.You might want to reserve an hour a day for Internet studying.Just make sure to study English and don't get caught wasting hours playing games!

16.Teach a native English speaker your language

If you can't afford a tutor, you might know a native English speaker who would be interested in learning your first language.Tell him you will teach him for free for one hour a week!You will have to use English to teach him, and you will learn many new English words and expressions at each session.Forcing yourself to teach someone a language will help you to understand English grammatical rules as well.Do anything you can to speak with native English speakers.17.Keep an English journal

Keeping a journal doesn't have to be an account of your daily activities.You can write anything in a journal, such as how your studying is coming along, what your new favourite word is and why, or which teacher you admire.If you are studying TOEIC with a friend, make a list of writing topics for each other.You might decide to write a paragraph three times a week.Get your friend to try to find your mistakes.Finding your partner's writing errors is great practice for Part V and VI.18.Ask questions

Never hesitate to ask lots of questions.In a TOEIC class, all of the students will benefit from your question.If you don't understand something, such as conditionals, you may lose ten points on a TOEIC exam.A teacher is not always available, but students are everywhere!Sometimes other students can help you with a grammar problem even better than a teacher.19.Manage your stress

If you are feeling stressed about taking the TOEIC you may be studying too hard or expecting too much of yourself.Like everything else in life, balance is the key.Remind yourself that you will try to do your best.Before the test, take deep breaths and remember that you can always improve your score in a few months time.In between the listening and reading section, take a few deep breaths again to get focused.20.Don't cram

You should never cram(study extremely hard in a short period of time)the night or even week before the TOEIC test.There is so much to learn when you study the TOEIC.The last week should be for reviewing and practising rather than learning new things.Make sure to get plenty of sleep the night before the test.On the day of the test, have a good meal and relax for a few hours before going to the testing centre.Plan to reward yourself when the test is over!
