TOEIC
The Test of English for International Communication
(TOEIC) is a two-hour English language proficiency
examination for people whose native language
is not English. It includes 200 multiple-choice
questions divided into two sections:
Listening Section: 100 questions with
audiocassette. Statements, questions, short
conversations, and short talks in English
are followed by questions. This section
lasts approximately 45 minutes.
Reading Section: 100 questions. You will
read a variety of materials and respond
at your own pace to questions about their
content. This section takes about 75 minutes.
The TOEIC test is designed to indicate
how well people can communicate in English
with others in the workplace. It does
not require specialized knowledge or vocabulary
beyond that of a person who uses English
in everyday work activities. The TOEIC
examinee handbook has further details
on test content.
AMIDEAST maintains a supply of test handbooks
with information about the TOEIC test.
Information on the exam content is also
available at the TOEIC
Web site.
