The listening section demands intense concentration.
There isn’t much time between questions, so there’s no chance to go back and modify a response. Losing your place on the answer sheet is fairly simple. Even native speakers struggle to keep their attention and recall all the information from the listening portions.
Additionally, it can be challenging to tell apart words that sound similar and to read the listening comprehension questions before the listening passage even begins.
The TOEIC’s hearing section contains four different accents, which is one of the typical difficulties for non-native speakers. For pupils accustomed to British accents, the test’s various accents may seem challenging. The four accents are primarily American, Canadian, with traces of British and Australian.
It’s not the academic English we’re used to from classwork. Because English is the language spoken at work, several phrasal verbs are frequently utilized in everyday business conversations.
The challenge with the reading segment is running out of time.
Few pupils complete all 100 questions. Despite being a native speaker who has spent entire life studying in the US, some students only finished the exam ten minutes early. In order to get a perfect score, they had to focus with all of their might.
In my TOEIC preparation classes, I’ve discovered that the majority of pupils will take far too long to complete the 25 multiple-choice grammar questions. To avoid wasting too much time, those should be completed as soon as feasible.
Many students struggle to comprehend the comprehension questions, therefore they might require more time to read carefully or repeat texts before responding. Here, the ability to scan and skim in English is crucial for finding simple solutions quickly.
