1. Prioritize getting full points on easy questions

The number of easy questions in the new TOEIC test format is greatly reduced more than the old test, while the difficult questions are both more and more difficult. Therefore, any negligence that leads to making mistakes in easy questions is extremely regrettable. So, how to get full points on easy questions? Of course, you need to find them. Summary of easy questions and solutions in each section as follows

 

2. Always read the questions before taking the test

Reading the question before helps you visualize the context better, easily determine which information needs more attention to listen/read than others to answer the question correctly. This skill is the basis for implementing the strategy of "getting full points on easy questions" above and has almost become a rule for doing parts 3 and 4. For the new format TOEIC test, this remains unchanged. Moreover, it also needs to be applied to section 7 more flexibly than before.

 

3. Pay attention to the context to ask implied questions in the listening section

Implied questions are the new question types of parts 3 and 4. That question is like: “What does the woman mean when she says “…”?”. In the 3 dots is often a commonly used phrase in spoken language such as: “That’s too bad”, “With no further ado”, …

 

4. Skim and scan long reading texts

If you try to read all the details of the passage, you will likely run out of time to complete this section. Skimming and scanning skills will help you not need to read each word carefully but still answer all the questions posed by the test. So, when and how should these two skills be applied?

 

5. Allocate reasonable time to adjust speed in the new format TOEIC test

To ensure you complete your assignment with the highest possible perfection, you must first make sure you have enough time to complete all sections. Time allocation must be based on the difficulty and number of questions in each section. As mentioned above, the new TOEIC test has a significantly reduced number of easy questions in parts 1, 2 and 5, replaced by newer, more difficult questions in the remaining parts. Therefore, keeping the same way of allocating time for each part of the reading test is a serious mistake.
