Hi Torsten,

The Nordhausen class completed their first simulated TOEIC test today. There were two main problems that we encountered.

Questions 77,78,79,86,87,88,92-100 all had the wrong audio file.
The test didn't record the answers correctly (Ha! I know how this must sound). The internet connection is really bad in the class room and the internet connection disconnected and reconnected several times during the test. Maybe this is the cause?
Is there a function on the test that allows you to check each answer after you've finished?

The feedback from the students was as follows.
Part 1 (Listening with pictures). The students found this part ok.
Part 2 (Listening with questions). The students found this part ok.
Part 3 (questions about a short audio clip) The students said they had to listen to the audio file two or three times before they understood completely.
Part 4 (Fill in the gap in a sentence) Some students had problems with the past, present and future tense of some words.
Part 5 (Fill in three blanks in each passage) The students this part ok. Some said they spend too much time translating the text.
Part 6 (Answer questions about an article) The students found this part the most difficult. There wasn't enough time to translate the text and the questions.
Expectantly time was a big problem.

Overall I think it was a good result for their first stimulation TOEIC test.
Now that I have identified the problems the students and I can start working on them straight away.

Regards Brian

Questions 95-97 refer to the following report.

(F)

Nearly every day we are reminded to get more exercise, but this can be hard to do with the hectic
lifestyles we have today. Multi-tasking, or doing two or more things at the same time, is now a common theme in the workplace. So, why not try and combine your daily commute with a good aerobic workout? Cycling is a great way of doing just that, and you can get to work just as quickly as you can by car for most journeys under five miles. And you don't have to pay for parking. As part of National Bike Week, our cycle forum is holding a bike riders' breakfast on Thursday, July sixteenth in front of the Collins Building. If you can show that you arrived at work by bike, there will be free coffee, orange juice, fruit, and yogurt awaiting you!

95. What example of multi-tasking does the speaker give?

(A) Eating breakfast while driving to work
(B) Commuting while getting exercise *
(C) Thinking while cycling
(D) Drinking coffee while working

96. What is the purpose of the event that the speaker announces?

(A) To encourage employees to cycle to work *
(B) To teach employees time-management techniques
(C) To help employees cope with stress
(D) To invite employees to join an aerobics class

97. Which employees will get a free breakfast on July 16?

(A) Those who get to work before 8:00 a.m.
(B) Those who have paid for parking
(C) Those who work in the Collins Building
(D) Those who ride a bicycle to work *

Hi ,

I want to take the TOEIC test online, As it would help me in preparation for my TOEIC Exam at my office.



Thanks

[Torsten]

Hi Shiva, sure you can get the links as soon as you post your voice recording. In the meantime, you can continue completing all our existing TOEIC based exercises. There are still plenty of them for you to do! So far, you have spent only 29 minutes practising. That's three times less than a full-length TOEIC test takes. Good luck, Torsten
