Which is the best book/method to prepare the TOEIC ?
Should I take a book in English or in my native language ? Edited by Everything on 26 March 2012 at 11:24am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It may sound a bit weird, but I would say there's not much to prepare for the TOEIC.
It's not an exam with much value in my experience, but some French universities require to pass it with a certain score to be able to graduate. I've never met anyone who didn't get the passing score, even among people who frankly suck at English... It's really nothing compared to the TOEFL for instance. (but that was perhaps not the kind of answer you were waiting for) Edited by vermillon on 26 March 2012 at 7:38pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Get a book with a lot of practice tests: the largest number of practice problems you can find. All the best ones I have seen have been English based, but that doesn't mean that there aren't good books in other languages. My recommendation is to practice a lot. There are certain kinds of questions that they ask very frequently, such as asking you to choose the correct part of speech, identifying which prepositions go with which words, and simple vocabulary questions. The more practice questions you do, the more you will understand the reasoning behind the questions and how to identify the correct answer, even if you don't quite understand all the words and/or grammar. Also, the practice questions will help you feel comfortable on the day of the exam, especially in the listening part, which doesn't have the most transparent question formats.
Vermillon is right that it is not as difficult as the Toefl, but if you do practice tests, you'll usually see your score going up, so I wouldn't say there's not much to prepare for. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
