Introduction to TOEIC
TOEIC is an English examination that tests your knowledge of
business English in four key areas: reading, listening, grammar
and vocabulary.
The TOEIC test is designed and administered by ETS,
Educational Testing Services, an American company based in New
Jersey. ETS also administers other common tests like TOEFL, GMAT
and GRE.
The maximum score on TOEIC is 990 points. A reasonable score
is above 700 points, a good score is
anything above 800 points, and a great score is anything above 900
points. At Higher Score at LSC Language Studies Canada, we try to help all of our TOEIC
students get more than 800 points.
He's so kind to students and I have never seen a teacher such like
him. I was amazed about his teaching skill and his ideas about
English. I love my TOEIC class!

What to Expect If You Take TOEIC
TOEIC is a very challenging examination, and unfortunately,
many students find it hard to achieve the score they need. One
reason for this is that the TOEIC questions use many challenging
words, so students need a good vocabulary. The other reason is that
TOEIC questions challenge students in a very logical manner. Many
students are not comfortable with this type of thinking, which
can make the test very challenging. The good news is that we at
Higher Score at LSC Language Studies Canada can help you learn this type of thinking, which
will give you a big advantage during the test and help you after
you enter university.
