The Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC®) is a multiple-choice English language proficiency test for people whose native language is not English. It measures English comprehension, speaking, writing and reading skills. The scores indicate how well people can communicate in English in business, commerce and industry.

The TOEIC test was developed in the USA in 1979 by ETS (Educational Testing Service) following a request from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Trade and Industry (MITI).

The TOEIC test assesses proficiency at all levels (beginner to advanced).
Many large international groups and approximately 2000 companies in Europe rely on TOEIC to assess the English language proficiency of their employees.

In Europe it is now becoming commonplace to see a TOEIC score included in job descriptions or job offers also ask for TOEIC score.

Format of the TOEIC test
The TOEIC test is a two-hour multiple-choice test that consists of 200 questions divided into two sections:

Listening section: There are 100 listening comprehension questions administered by audiocassette
Reading section: There are 100 reading questions

The TOEIC test questions are based on real-life work settings in an international environment (meetings, travel, telephone etc.). Each candidate is awarded a separate mark for written and oral comprehension on a scale from 5 to 495 points. The total score is between 10 and 990 points.-
