5 Tips to Master the TOEIC Listening Test
1. Do practice
a. Using a sample listening test, start by stopping the recording after each question.b. Choose the answer that you think is correct and then check if it is right.
c. Make sure you know why an answer is correct or incorrect.
d. Gradually build up the speed by doing each section without pausing the recording.
e. Then, work your way up to doing the whole test
2. Describe photos and pictures using your own sentences
To study for this part of the test, you should try making sentences that describe what you are doing during your day. Another helpful exercise is to make a list of all the things around you that you see. This helps you learn the vocabulary and connect it to a place.
3. Prediction skill is needed
Keep in mind the question as you listen to the possible answers. Choose the answer that makes the most sense. If in doubt, guess. You don’t lose any points for a wrong answer.
4. Focus and actively listen to detail
When you are studying for this section, it’s best to look at the questions before you listen to the dialogue. Listen to the dialogue and then write down your answers for the question based on what you have heard. Next, see if your answers match any of the multiple choice options. This will help you focus and learn to actively listen for details in the talks
5. Find keywords of questions before listening
When you are taking the actual exam, pay attention to the context. Try to read the question beforehand and find the keywords if you have time. Listen to the entire talk before choosing an answer. If you find yourself running out of time, just guess an answer. Don’t miss out on information for the next question while you are trying to figure out the previous one.
