Product Description

This edition of the TOEIC manual has been thoroughly revised and updated to prepare students for the newly structured Test of English for International Communication, which was introduced in 2006. Presented here are four full-length practice tests that are similar in format and question types to the new TOEIC. The author also provides students with an extensive review of reading comprehension skills. A passing grade on the TOEIC test is required by many businesses and institutions when they are selecting among job candidates whose first language is not English. This heavily illustrated manual comes with three compact discs that offer comprehensive instruction in English language listening comprehension. The CDs and manual can also be purchased separately.





Amazon reviewers noted that the first printing (2007) of this new edition had a few errors in the text and answer keys. These errors were corrected in subsequent printings. There are no errors in the

provides a clear and precise path to scoring high on the TOEIC.

TOEIC Review
This is helpful for preparation for the TOEIC test. (Test of English for International Communication) It has sample tests for each of the sections and includes answers. The CD's are good for creating a true test atmosphere. There is also a script included. The only difficulty is trying to follow the correct answers and script with the test--you have to have several markers for keeping your place. I have used the book with Japanese businessmen who have to take the test and they have found it to be beneficial.

a good source of mock tests but...
I bought the book to help my students prepare for the TOEIC: I needed more sample "New TOEIC" tests, specifically for the listening sections. This book does have several mock tests, and for that it is unique. But the way the listening parts are dictated is not exactly as in the real test. In the real test, voices read a conversation -listening only for the students-, then a flat-toned male voice reads the questions written in the student's test booklet; the voice in effect acts as a timer for the test-taker, who should have already answered the questions during the dialogue and should now be reading ahead the following set of questions. In the CD's of this book, the student only hears silence so the student doesn't know how long he/she has before the next set of questions. Having practiced with samples of the "real test" for several years, I found the silence unnerving. Also, i found the book level easy. I prefer my other book, the advanced level, by the same author, with Pearson Longman. My students come out of the test feeling they were well prepared.
However, if you need more listening practice tests of the NEW TOEIC, this book is the only one I found.

The book is even more than I had expected, a very complete and strategic guide to a good TOEIC preparation.
