About the TOEIC
The TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) test is an English language proficiency test for people whose native language is not English. It measures the everyday English skills of people working in an international environment. TOEIC scores indicate how well people can communicate in English with others in business, commerce, and industry. However, the test does not require specialized knowledge or vocabulary beyond that of a person who uses English in everyday work activities.
The TOEIC test is a two-hour multiple-choice test that consists of 200 questions, divided into two sections:
-

-
