The Education Testing Service (ETS) indicates that TOEIC test scores are used by nearly 14,000 companies, government agencies, and English language learning programs in 150 countries, and that more than seven million TOEIC tests are administered per year.  \nWho takes the TOEIC test?  \nIndividuals at all stages of their careers take the TOEIC tests to demonstrate their English proficiency and enhance their competiveness in the global workplace environment. For example, professionals who currently work in an international company or organization, employees advancing in their organizations, and job candidates seeking to raise their competiveness all consider taking the TOEIC tests. In addition, many organizations around the world use the TOEIC tests as a tool to evaluate prospective or existing employees in English-language proficiency in the workplace.  \nWho takes the TOEIC test in the United States?  \nNot many people take the TOEIC in the U.S. The TOEIC test was developed starting in 1977 and was first administered in Japan, but it is not widely known in the United States. In fact, one part of the TOEIC test, the Speaking & Writing test, was not administered in the U.S. until 2009. Even now the closest TOEIC Speaking & Writing test center to Washington, [D.C. is](D.C. is) in Dover, Delaware.  \nHow is TOEIC different from TOEFL?  \nTOEIC tests English language proficiency in an international workplace while TOEFL tests English language proficiency in an academic setting.  \nWhat is on the TOEIC test?  \nTest questions reflect the fact that TOEIC is designed to assess proficiency for the English language workplace. For example, contexts might include corporate development, dining out, finance and budgeting, purchasing, and travel, but individuals are not required to know specialized business and technical vocabulary in order to take the TOEIC.  \nHow is the TOEIC test structured?  \nThe TOEIC is administered in two parts: (1) Listening & Reading and (2) Speaking & Writing. This structure reflects an effort to separately test comprehension (listening and reading) and production (speaking and writing) .  \nWhat is on the TOEIC Listening & Reading test?  \nTOEIC Listening & Reading tests are paper-based, multiple-choice test. Each section contains 100 multiple-choice questions.  \n􀁸 Listening questions are drawn from statements, questions, conversations, and talks recorded by voice actors from several different English-speaking countries. This section includes four parts and lasts about 45 minutes. It is administered by CD.  \n􀁸 Reading questions are drawn from a variety of written material. This section includes three parts and lasts about 75 minutes.  \nHow much does it cost to take the TOEIC Listening & Reading test?  \n$75 payable to ETS  \nWhen can I take the TOEIC Listening & Reading test in 2017?  \nMay 13, June 10, July 8, August 12, September 9, October 7, November 4, and December 4  \nWhere do I register for the TOEIC Listening & Reading test?  \n[www.toeicrts.ets.org/WebRegistration/toeic/ReserveSeat.html](www.toeicrts.ets.org/WebRegistration/toeic/ReserveSeat.html)  \n[What is on the TOEIC Speaking & Writing test?](What is on the TOEIC Speaking & Writing test?)  \n[TOEIC Speaking & Writing tests are computer-based tests.](TOEIC Speaking & Writing tests are computer-based tests.)  \n􀁸 The Speaking test has 11 questions that require oral responses, such as reading a text aloud, describing pictures, responding to questions after reading a short text and listening to a related spoken text, and listening to a s","cbCaisN2Gzp8xG2X","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisN2Gzp8xG2X","pdf",110472,"English","# What does TOEIC stand for?\n# Where is the TOEIC used?\n# Who takes the TOEIC test?\n# How is TOEIC different from TOEFL?\n# What is on the TOEIC test?\n# How is the TOEIC test structured?\n## TOEIC Listening & Reading\n## TOEIC Speaking & Writing\n# What is a public test?\n# What is an institutional test?","[{\"question\":\"What does TOEIC stand for, and what is its purpose?\",\"answer\":\"TOEIC stands for Test of English for International Communication.
